Bermuda on the Carnival Legend from Baltimore We have not cruised since June, so we had a month between cruises. In June we did the ABC Islands on the Carnival Horizon out of Miami with the kids. So this month, we wanted to do something as a couple. We always take a trip in July without the kids for our anniversary. This year, we chose Bermuda! This was a short...

Lauderdale Beach | The Fun Times Aruba, Bonaire, & Curaçao from Miami We cruised last month on the Sunshine which was fun, but it was a last minute cruise and wasn’t the greatest cruise ever. We were due for a good cruise, so this was it! We...
CuraçaoJune 2, 2022 We have been to Curaçao before so I knew what to expect. The last time we went in 2019 we did an island tour with VIP Tours Curaçao but my youngest was sick then and didn’t enjoy it as much because of that. This year, I wanted him to see the island and enjoy it, so I booked a private driver for the day. I had originally contacted Natasja...
Bonaire June 1, 2022 This was our first time to Bonaire in all of our cruises. I am so glad we were able to book the ABC islands. When I booked this cruise, I knew we wanted a golf cart to explore the island, and I knew that they sold out pretty quick. I booked 2 golf carts through Bonaire Cruisers back in December 2021. I am glad that I did. The cost was $95 with a...
Aruba May 31, 2022 We have been to Aruba before, so we knew what to expect. Last time we were in Aruba, we spent the day at Flamingo Island which is the private island with flamingos. It was fun, but this time we wanted something more fun and adventurous. I ended up booking a 6 seater UTV from Off-Road Evolution Aruba. I booked this UTV back on January 23rd. The cost...
Day 1 It seems all of my cruise blog entries start out the exact same way, with picking my son up from school. This is no different. We decided to leave for Charleston on Wednesday to enjoy a few days in the city before our cruise. This would have both kids missing school but not much since spring break is the week after. So Wednesday about noon we picked him up from...
If you follow my blog you know last year we went to the Dominican Republic in July of 2020 when Covid cancelled our cruises. The Dominican was open and we loved it there. We decided to go back this year to the same resort! We took our kids to Cancun last month so this month was a trip for just the wife and I. Plus, Sanctuary is an adults-only all-inclusive resort...
While we were in Cancun, we decided to go over to Isla Mujeres and enjoy a day on the island. From our resort, we took a taxi to Puerto Juarez to get on the Ultramar Ferry. The ferry from Puero Juarez goes to Isla Mujeres, departing every half hour. The cost is $20 per person USD for a round trip ticket. The ferry terminal at Puero Juarez is nice with plenty of shops...
When our May 2021 cruise was cancelled we did exactly what we did in 2020, book an all-inclusive resort. We wanted to go back to the Dominican Republic but were going with some cruise friends who wanted to go to Mexico, so we booked an AI in Cancun. I did tons of research on resorts in Cancun that would fit our needs and ended up booking at Seadust. This is a family...
Cap Cana Dominican Republic Normally I would be writing a blog post right now about a cruise. However this is 2020 and everything is going wrong.Our cruise out of Puerto Rico was cancelled this year due to Covid-19. However we’re not going to let a virus stop us from enjoying life. When our cruise was cancelled, we decided we would just fly to the Caribbean to...
