We’re in the home stretch of this 9-day Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Sky, and today we’re docked in St. John’s, Antigua—not to be confused with St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. These are two vastly different destinations! St. John’s is an elusive port, one that not many cruise…

Another day, another port of call! Day 4 of this 9-day cruise on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Sky brought us to the beautiful island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. Our arrival at 10 am sparked an exodus from the ship, as eager passengers disembarked to hit the…

Greetings from the sunny shores of the Dominican Republic! The 2,000 of us aboard the Norwegian Sky have just arrived at our first port of call on this thrilling 9-day Caribbean cruise. After setting sail from Miami on Tuesday, we spent a relaxing day at sea before docking at the…

Well, this cruise is quickly coming to an end, and day number six finds us at sea, and that means it's going to be a busy (and crowded) day onboard the MSC Seascape.  At double occupancy, she can accommodate 4,540 passengers, but that's never really the case as there are…

Cozumel, Mexico is the stop of the day today on this 7-day Eastern Caribbean cruise on the MSC Seascape, where we arrived around 9:30am and the all clear to go ashore was given just before 10am.  In Cozumel, there are three ports that cruise ships dock at.  The Puerta Maya…

This 7-day adventure on the MSC Seascape is more than half over, and so far the trip has exceeded my expectations.  From excellent service from all the crew members, to a stunning and exceptionally clean ship, a beautiful stateroom with a very diminutive shower, right down to the non-stop entertainment…
