It’s day 3 onboard Carnival Celebration and we arrived at our first port of call, Cozumel, Mexico. With this being my 49th cruise, I lost track of how many times I’ve been to Cozumel and how many times I’ve said, “This place sucks.” However, the next port of call is…
Day 2 on the new Carnival Celebration and it’s a sea day! In other words - a very busy day on board. I started the day off by writing the previous day’s update on Deck 16, just outside the buffet, next to the ice cream machine. This was done for…
My latest cruise adventure takes me onboard the brand-new Carnival Celebration. The ship, launched in December 2022, is the flagship of the fleet and one of the largest with a maximum capacity of 6,500 passengers. The ship itself is huge and like her sister, Carnival Mardi Gras, is a far…
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.

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…
Day 5 from onboard MSC Seaside and there are only two more left of this eastern Caribbean cruise. The fifth day of sailing around the Caribbean found us making a stop in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico – a port I happen to enjoy visiting.

We are halfway through our seven-day eastern Caribbean cruise on MSC Seaside and day four sees us docked in St. Maarten – an island that looks beautiful from afar but up close, well… hang on for a bit more and you’ll see for yourself. Our ship arrived a little before…
Day 3 was another sea day on the MSC Seaside as we sailed towards St. Maarten, our first port of call. Once again the weather was great, although a tad bit windy, and there were a few very brief showers along the way but nothing more than that. According to…
Day 2 onboard MSC Seaside, the ship that “follows the sun,” finds us spending the day at sea en route to our first port of call, St. Maarten. So far the weather has been great, the sea calm, and the MSC Yacht Club is worth every penny. [caption id="attachment_11670" align="aligncenter"…
I just set sail on a much-anticipated adventure on one of the world’s newest and most innovative cruise ships – the 5,100-passenger MSC Seaside. One look at this unique ship and you can tell she’s unique - both in architecture and amenities. [caption id="attachment_10881" align="aligncenter" width="800"] MSC Seaside, coming to…
