photos - family vacation - part 7

This is the purple lounge. This lounge is only for children younger than 15 years of age. Even the youth have a room for themselves on the Carnival Destiny. I have never been on a cruise before, so I was in tourist mode and took lots of photos:)
There were several ships in port preparing to debark. The ship with the giant water slide is the Carnival Imagination. It is a larger ship than the Destiny.
According to American maritime regulations all cruise ships must conduct emergency escape drills for all passengers and crew before leaving the port. On our room cards we had the emergency meetup area as section E on the 4th deck. We headed down from Deck 9 (Lido) to the staging area. and stood in our assigned spots.
The life boats are a good size and have covers on them to handle possible rough seas.
The lifeboat we were in front of had the following sign: "Lifeboat 15, with a capacity of 141 passengers and 9 crew."
