As I prepare to embark on my latest adventure, I am very excited. Not only because I booked this cruise Thursday and leave Saturday, but this one just happens to be my 50th cruise, a milestone I've been eagerly awaiting. I will be sailing on the Mardi Gras from Carnival…
Well, the final day of this 7-day western Caribbean cruise has arrived and it’s time to do a quick rundown of the day and a recap of the week onboard the newest ship in the Carnival Cruise Line fleet, the Carnival Celebration. The last day of any cruise is always…
Sea days… people love them or hate them. On this particular cruise, we have two of them back-to-back as we head back to Miami to wrap up this 7-day western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Celebration. While I love sea days, they have their pros and cons. Some cons, the…
We’re in the home stretch of this 7-day western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Celebration, and day 5 is in the books. Today’s port-of-call took us to Honduras to the Carnival-owned port of Mahogany Bay located on the island of Roatan. The bay gets its name from the valuable mahogany…

Time for the final report from MSC Seaside as we wrap up this seven-day eastern Caribbean cruise. The last day of the adventure saw us staying on the ship, as did the majority of other passengers, instead of going ashore in Nassau. [caption id="attachment_13764" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Nassau, Bahamas as seen…
We’re on the final two days of our eastern Caribbean cruise on MSC Seaside and Day 6 saw us at sea en route to Nassau, Bahamas – a port I always question why cruise lines still visit. High crime rates, and not much to do except be harassed in the…
