Good morning, San Juan! Pulling into this port just feels different—especially as you pass by the Castillo guarding the bay. No worries about Captain Jack stealing your rum here! With ours being the only ship docked and a long day ashore, there’s definitely adventure on the horizon. They announced clearance…

Another day, another Caribbean island checked off the list. One of the things we enjoy most about cruising is getting to visit so many different islands and explore their unique cultures and beautiful landscapes. Today brought us, for the first time, to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, as we pulled into…

It’s our first full day aboard MSC World America and a fresh chance to shake off some of those less-than-stellar first impressions from embarkation day, which I covered in the day 1 report. And it definitely started off with a bang. I got up early to catch the sunrise, taking…

We're setting sail once again—this time on the brand-new MSC World America. Since Scott was such a fan of this ship (and its itinerary) during his voyage on the inaugural sailing back in April, we thought we'd see how it stacked up against our love of Disney Cruise Line (DCL).…

I can’t believe it’s almost over. Since disembarkation really begins the night before returning to port, that’s where we’ll start this final review. Preparing for the trip back to reality always begins with receiving your luggage tags in your stateroom, along with a reminder of your disembarkation options. As with…

As yesterday revolved primarily around food, today we’ll be taking a long look at Disney’s newest exclusive destination—Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. (Don’t worry—we didn’t starve.) On Day 3 of our sailing, we made our much-anticipated arrival at Disney’s Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, located on the island of Eleuthera.…

Our first full day aboard the beatify Disney Dream—and I’ll tell you how I really feel! Nassau, Palo brunch, and Pirates of the Caribbean… oh my! We woke up this morning as we made our final approach into the dock at Nassau. Joining us throughout the morning were four other…

Hello fellow cruise enthusiasts. Once again, I have the honor of making a guest appearance on Scott's Cruises. This week, my family and I are embarking on a 4-night voyage aboard the beautiful Disney Dream out of Port Everglades. I welcome you to follow along on this adventure, with a…

It’s that time, unfortunately. The Disney Fantasy pulled into Port Canaveral at 6:30 a.m., marking the beginning of the sad day of disembarkation. There are two options available for this process: Express Walk-Off Group Disembarkation Express Walk-Off If you choose express walk-off, you keep all your luggage with you and…
