If they are not, we will most likely never fly with them again.</div><br /> &nbsp; <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_drCKqt41KV4/TTm2dVGOViI/AAAAAAAAH9I/GS-qxQXSCiE/s1600/carnival_cruise_logo.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="96" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_drCKqt41KV4/TTm2dVGOViI/AAAAAAAAH9I/GS-qxQXSCiE/s320/carnival_cruise_logo.gif" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>10/10</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">I don’t even know where to begin.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This was our first cruise and we enjoyed it immensely.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I somewhat hesitated right after booking our cruise, that it might be stressful for us and a little too much for a toddler.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Those hesitations flew right out the window, the minute we entered the doors to embark on the ship.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Right when entering, they noticed our stroller and we were taken right to the front of the line-up, avoiding an hour wait.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Throughout the entire week, Rheon’s meals were served before ours.</div><div style="text-align: center;">There were so many meal choices for Rheon, that he never went hungry.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Each person stopped to say HELLO to our son and wore a smile on their face all day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">The staff was friendly and went out of their way to ensure that we had a good time.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Everyone, from the housekeeping staff to the servers in the dining room were amazing!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Rheon was too young to participate in the Camp Carnival program but I’ve only heard good reviews about it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">The food. Oh man, the food! </div><div style="text-align: center;">We had 4 meals every day and could have probably ate more, if we didn't have to get off the ship for our ports. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The food&nbsp;was always fresh and TASTY!</div><div style="text-align: center;">There&nbsp;were many different choices, that even a picky eater would have no problems finding something to eat.</div><div style="text-align: center;">From Buffets, to Fish and Chips to the Burrito station, there was always something new to try out.</div><div style="text-align: center;">(They said that the average Cruiser gains 2lbs a day while on a Cruise, which is totally believable)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Carnival Cruises are known as the “fun ship” and it was definitely FUN to be on the ship.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Shows, the Casino, Deck parties and nightly movies out on the deck are only some ways they tried to keep us entertained.</div><div style="text-align: center;">There were so many things to do and see, that even the “fun day at sea” was fun.</div><br /> <div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none;

Simply line the bottom of a bowl with a sheet of aluminum foil and fill the bowl with warm water. Add a generous amount of salt -- about 4 tablespoons -- and a squirt of liquid dish soap. Place the tarnished jewelry on top, and voila! You'll see the tarnish begin to disappear -- a natural chemical reaction that actually magnetizes the tarnish right off. No buffing or rubbing needed.
