Checking in for my upcoming cruise! The countdown is on!! What time do you normally select to board? I always select 11-11:30am. Gives me plenty of time in the morning not to be rushing. And I board just in time for tacos! 🌮🤣💃

Throwback to one of my first cruises! 🇯🇲

It’s been FOREVER since I went to Jamaica! Mom in law said - let’s go next year. So I’m going to do some searching this weekend so we can book a group cruise to Jamaica 2026 💃!

Have you sailed to Jamaica? 🇯🇲

Throwback Thursday! 🛳️

Yesterday I posted about the Carnival Freedom relocating to Virginia in 2027. Freedom was the first ship I ever sailed. It was just less than a year old at the time and I was just in awe. See… I’m a small town gal. I had never seen such beautiful views and water in my entire life.  I was raised in Louisiana, no where near such beautiful blues. Family vacations were not a thing my mom could afford. I don’t knock my upbringing because it made me who I am today. 🩵

However, I’m thankful to have been able to take many cruises since this one, and take the kids along with us. I constantly crave the peace that I seem to find only at sea. And I get so excited to explore new ports!! Boarding a ship never gets old to me- I have those same excitement jitters EVERY SINGLE cruise I board.

If you find yourself wanting to book, and don’t know where to start… not to worry, I became a travel planner because I LOVE helping others experience this feeling too. Drop a comment below and I’m happy to help!!

I’d also love to see your throwback photos! Share them with me! 🩵
