I wonder why I liked this post so much from Carnival Cruise Lines? Maybe it was because my birthday was last month and I did not get a Carnival Cruise either. Anyway, I liked the graphics and the emotion the photo coveys. What do you think?

These pretzels are getting as much love as Justin Bieber
While reading through the Norwegian Cruise Line comments about pretzel rolls, I almost thought I was on a fan page for a rock star. Shoutouts for the carb star included: first thing I get onboard; amazing; OMG – those are the best and I can’t get enough when cruising. All I can say is that these must be some really amazing pretzel rolls.
