It only took 16 years, but we finally got our “honeymoon” trip on an Alaskan Cruise. I booked it a year into the Pandemic thinking – surely – this thing will be wrapped up in 18 more months… incorrect. May 30th-June 6th 2022 – Norwegian Jewel Departed Vancouver, Canada You were able to select your…

Things I learned about Cruises on this trip
Things I learned about cruises on this trip! Don’t leave out of New Orleans – the trip down the river to get to the ocean is LONG Check is there are large groups on your cruise, and what kind – We had a group of 700 that were obnoxious drunks – the boat ran out…
Towel Animals
And the most important part of the cruise, the towel animals that greet you in your room each night! Day 1 – Elephant – how cool! Day 2 – Dog? Day 3 – Bunny! Day 4 – Snake Day 5 – Seal? Day 6 most people got swinging monkeys… but we had begun to pack…

Costa Maya was kind of a bust. The “beach” area was run by locals charging 30 bucks a person to be on the beach and have coronas. We skipped it, hung in the “compound” – the secure area right off the boat where only certain locals are allowed to harass you. Honduras was super crazy,…
Western Carribean Cruise
I’ve got a lot to say and some interesting pictures to share, so I’ll be parceling out our adventures over a number of days, so you aren’t forced to read a novella or watch a slide show of our trip! Hubby and I went on a cruise early in December for 360 Flex. It started…
