Our Itinerary A while back I put cruising out of Venice on my bucket list. I really wanted to see the canals and such cruising in and out. While well planned, it wasn't exactly executed due to the Acqua Alta (water rising above sea level causing Venice to flood) prior to our cruise. While MSC … Continue reading 7 Night Greece cruise out of Venice →

First leg of B2B with my husband I'm not wanting to do a full review but wanted to mention a couple things about the Magic. First I'll say, I had an amazing time with my husband being able to relax. The ports were all nice (some better than other as usual) and it was nice … Continue reading Some thoughts on my Back 2 Back on the Carnival Magic- October 2019 →

Oh my! I'm such a procrastinator and get busy and stop things. I decided to add a last few notes on Duinrell before skipping to a review for our Thanksgiving cruise we did to Greece! Zaanse Schans Our last day trip we did from Duinrell was to Zaanse Schans. It wasn't too far from the … Continue reading Duinrell- Part 2 →

Back in June my Mom came to visit from the USA and we took the kids to Duinrell Amusement Park in Wassenaar, Netherlands. I had read great reviews and joined a group on Facebook that had tons of information. The trip has now hooked me onto holiday parks. We travel a lot and part of … Continue reading Duinrell Holiday Park, Netherlands June 2019- Part 1 →

May 13 Sea Day Last Sea Day. I started prepacking and enjoying my last day of relaxation before the last port day and getting home. Nothing too crazy went on. It was getting colder so we used the indoor pool, relaxed, I went to the show. Unlike my last cruise I didn't really meet any … Continue reading May 13-15 Sea Day, Le Havre and back to Southampton →

So surprisingly for me, my kids and I all enjoyed the Northern European ports more than the warmer Spain and Portugal ports. I thought for sure they'd enjoy lounging and the beach days but they loved getting out and about in the last three ports: Rotterdam, Hamburg and Le Havre. May 9, 2019 Sea Day … Continue reading May 9-12 Sea Day, Rotterdam, Sea Day, Hamburg →

No excuse, just been slacking off. Hoping to finish off this cruise review so I can do a couple different trips we've done in. May 5, 2019 Cádiz My main plan for Cádiz was to take a slow day and just relax. I walked the sea edge to La Caleta beach and enjoyed the scenery. … Continue reading May 5-9 Cádiz, Malaga and Vigo instead of La Coruna →

Sea Day May 3, 2019 So I got way behind on doing this cruise review. A short recap... My Mom came and visited and we spent a week in the Netherlands and also went to Chessington amusement park. Then my best friend came and we went to Paris and to Scotland. And then my husband … Continue reading May 3 and 4, 2019… I got busy! →

Our second port day was Brest, France. I'm not sure what the big day trips are from here but I remember that I didn't see anything that would be for the kids. Early on I'd heard that Oceanopolis was nice for kids. Another aquarium but my kids love aquariums so that was fine. I would … Continue reading Brest, France: May 2, 2019 →

This was the rainiest day of the cruise but it wasn't too bad honestly. I admit, I was born and raised in Florida so if it's not a down pour I think it's easily manageable. We decided to sleep in because we didn't have an excursion or anything booked for the day. It was also … Continue reading May 1, 2019 St. Peter Port, Guernsey →
