My latest cruise adventure finds me sailing on a unique ship in the Carnival Cruise Line fleet, the Carnival Venezia. Carnival Venezia might be trying to rock the Fun Ship energy the brand is known for today, but she actually started her life as a ship with a totally different…

Put a fork in this cruise, it’s done! The final day aboard the Carnival Horizon is being spent at sea as we head back to Port Miami after six days sailing around the western Caribbean, making stops in Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, Mexico. As I do…

The final port of call for this 6-day Western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Horizon finds us visiting a familiar spot: Cozumel, Mexico. I lost count of how many times I’ve been here over the years, but one thing is for certain—not much ever changes around here. Cozumel is regarded…

We’ve made it to the homestretch of this six-day cruise on the Carnival Horizon, and today’s port of call is Georgetown, Grand Cayman. After a night of rough seas, I was anticipating today’s visit to turn into a sea day, but here we are! As I mentioned in yesterday’s report,…
