Alaska!

Can you believe the state of Alaska is only 50 years old? Russia sold it to the U.S. for 2 cents an acre (they needed to raise money for the Crimean War going on at the time). William Seward, the Secretary of State organized the deal, and many Americans scoffed at what they believed to be a giant waste of money. It was nicknamed "Seward's Folly." The flag was designed by a 13 year old orphan in a school contest during 1927. The blue symbolizes the sky, sea, & fthe orget-me-not flower (state flower). The stars symbolize the big dipper (or bear) for strength, and the north star which leads the way to Alaska.

The Carnival cruise ship holds over 2,000 people.

There were 10 decks, 2 pools, casino, spa, bars, restaurants, shops, golf, basketball, pilates, giant buffets, and anything you could ever want.

Every inch of the ship was glamorous.
