Buenos días! Estamos en Cozumel, Mexico. Ok, that about covers the extent of my high school Spanish. It's overcast, and as we made our approach into Cozumel, we hit a few scattered showers. With only a few small sightings of blue sky, we were glad there was nothing specific scheduled…
It's our first full day aboard the Disney Treasure, and we're spending it at sea while we head west toward our first port of call, Cozumel, Mexico. This gave me the perfect opportunity to get some early-morning pictures around the ship while most guests were still staring at the inside…
Day 17 on Explora Journeys’ Explora I and we’re spending it at sea, pointing the bow back toward Miami and officially sticking a fork in this adventure. We’re done. After almost two full weeks bouncing around the Caribbean, this cruise was about as port-heavy as they come. Outside of the…
Day 16 on Explora Journeys, and we’re officially in wind-down mode. We’ve got two full sea days ahead of us as we make our way back to PortMiami on Monday morning. This has been a very port-heavy itinerary. Outside of the first two full sea days at the very beginning…

Day 13 on Explora Journeys Explora I and… yep… it just happens to be Christmas Eve. And also day 13. Yikes. An unlucky number landing on an already questionable port of call. Honestly, kind of fitting. Today we’re in St. John’s, Antigua - a port that nobody has ever said,…
Time flies when you are in the sun, and that brings us to the end of this 4-day Very Merrytime cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy. The activity guide today is pretty short: eat breakfast and get out. Let’s take a look back at the good, the bad, and the Merry.…
Day 12 and today Explora Journeys Explora I pulled into Fort-de-France, Martinique, which is yet another new-to-me port and one I’ve been looking forward to ever since our stop just a few days ago across the bay in Les Trois-Îlets. If you’ve been following along, you know that stop turned…
