Things to Enjoy During your Cruise Vacation

The Ultimate List of Things to Enjoy During your Cruise Vacation. From Amazing Animal Encounters to All-Inclusive Resorts, this Post Will Help You Plan the Ultimate Cruise! #Travel #cruise #cruisetravel

Last year my Husband and I went on a cruise, our first cruise! As a US Navy Sailor, he had been on 5 Deployments and had never been excited about going on a “civilian cruise”, so this was a new adventure for us.
This adventure had a lot of firsts for us:

  • It was our first cruise
  • It was our first vacation in 18 years
  • It was our first vacation without kids
  • It was our first time celebrating an anniversary (our 18th wedding anniversary!)
  • It was our first huge road trip alone, we drove from NY to Miami and back 😉

Needless to say, this was a memorable vacation! Since then I have been on 3 additional cruises and I have learned so much! I am happy to share all that I learn and see with you so that you can make the best decision when it comes to booking your perfect cruise!
Depending on which cruise line you opt to go with, some of these activities both on the ship and off port may not be available during your trip. Be sure to check your cruise line itinerary and website before planning on doing any of these Things to Enjoy During your Cruise Vacation. [Read more…]

Looking for Something Specific?

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
