It’s time for the final port of call for this 7-day Western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Venezia, and today we’re at anchor in George Town, Grand Cayman. There were only three stops on this cruise: Nassau, The Bahamas; Montego Bay, Jamaica; and today’s stop. The Carnival Venezia arrived in…

When it comes to ports of call, we all have our favorites—and then there are the ones we’d rather skip altogether. Right at the top of my least favorite list? Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas. And today, we’re visiting another one that ranks high on that list—Jamaica. Cruise lines…

After departing Nassau yesterday on the “Carnival Fun Italian Style” ship, Carnival Venezia, we headed off to sea for—well—a day at sea. It was one of those days when a ship’s crew is put to the test because everyone is onboard. That means there’s a lot going on, from a…

After a busy day visiting San Juan, Puerto Rico, we spent the day at sea as we make our way back into Bahamian waters. It was a nice, relaxing opportunity to sit back and enjoy the calm, catch up with old friends, have another wonderful meal at Palo, and end…

After departing St. Maarten yesterday, the Disney Fantasy sailed through the night and we woke up today in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is our first time visiting San Juan, and based on reviews from other cruise enthusiasts over the years, we’ve been looking forward to it. Even though we…
