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…
Wow, it is Day 4 already and our last day aboard the Disney Fantasy Very Merrytime sailing. Today was a relaxing sea day capped off with brunch at Palo. What better way to end a cruise? Since the morning was spent mostly lounging around in the sun, we will jump…
Day 11 on Explora Journeys and we are, once again, pulling into another port. If you’ve been following along from the beginning, you already know this cruise has been very port-heavy. In fact, since we left PortMiami on December 12, we’ve had exactly two sea days - both right at…
Day 10 on Explora Journeys Explora I, and today we’re in Bridgetown, Barbados. For all but roughly 200 of us, this is the end of the line. Yes, for the vast majority of guests who have been onboard up until now, today is debarkation day. Meanwhile, a much smaller group…
Day 9 already, which honestly feels a little crazy considering how many stops we’ve made since leaving Miami, on this very port-intensive cruiseon Explora Journeys, Explora I. At this point we’ve hit La Romana, San Juan, St. Kitts, Les Trois-Îlets in Martinique, Bequia yesterday, and today we’re still in St.…
It is Day 3 aboard the Disney Fantasy, and we have arrived at Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney’s exclusive beach destination on the island of Eleuthera. The seas are calm with scattered clouds, and temperatures should stay in the upper 70s to low 80s, which is just about perfect…
It's hard to believe it’s already Day 8 of this Explora Journeys sailing, but here we are. In just over a week we’ve gone from embarkation in Miami, to our first Caribbean stop in La Romana, followed by San Juan (when Mother Nature decided she hated us), then St. Kitts,…
On this second day of our Disney Fantasy sailing, we woke up as we made our approach into Nassau, Bahamas. My day always starts with a trip to Cove Cafe promptly at 6:30 when they open their doors. That usually leads straight to finding a deck chair up in Satellite…
Well, here we are. Day 7 onboard Explora Journeys Explora I, and we’ve officially hit the one-week mark of this cruise. Today’s port of call is one that’s actually new to me, which doesn’t happen all that often anymore, considering how many times I’ve looped around the Caribbean. This is…
Another day, another port of call! Today is day 6 onboard the beautiful Explora I from Explora Journeys, MSC Cruise's new-ish luxury line. Before getting into today, let’s do a quick recap of where we’ve been so far, because the cruise is starting to stack up port days quickly. We…
