Written by Kim & Alex Many of our friends have asked what our favorite cruise line is. Honestly, there are things we like about each so thought we’d do a summary of our thoughts and experiences. We’ve been on 28 cruises – 25 on Royal Caribbean, 2 on Celebrity, 1 on Virgin. On Royal we […]

Written by Kim Our last 2 days onboard were sea days. It was fun to explore the ship. Last time we were on her was 2013 shortly after she launched. There was one refurbishment since then but no real significant changes. Silhouette is a beautiful mid-sized ship that holds about 3,000 passengers. I didn’t take […]

Written by Kim We’ve been to Antigua several times. Most times we go to a beach because Antigua is know for their beaches. They have 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, along their Caribbean Sea coastline. The island is only 108 square miles so basically all beach. Several years ago we golfed […]

Written by Kim Barbados is one of our favorite islands. It’s pretty far south and east in the Caribbean so we don’t cruise here often but it’s always a treat. The people are lovely, the sea is so blue, there’s lots of turtles to see so we usually go snorkeling Our friend, Dee, found a […]

Written by Kim After a busy bus tour in St Lucia yesterday, we looked forward to a relaxing beach day at Tobago. We had never been here and realize this is the southern most point we’ve been to. Did you know Tobago is south west of Barbados and considered part of South America. We weren’t […]

Written by Kim We had a long and exhausting day visiting the beautiful island of St. Lucia. We’ve been to the Caribbean many times but never had the opportunity to visit here. We took a land and sea island tour and traversed a lot of the 238 square mile nountainous volcanic island. On 22 February […]

Written by Kim We’ve been to St Maarten many times and decided to spend the day at Little Divi Bay resort. Our taxi was $6 per person and 2 chairs and an umbrella were $15. It wasn’t the nicest beach day with some showers on and off but the island was empty since we were […]

Written by Kim We parked at Park N Go at 11 and we’re on the ship around 11:30. Celebrity is nice that you can go directly to your cabin, drop off your carryon and put stuff in the safe and begin to explore. We booked a Concierge Class room which included a nice lunch in […]

Written by Kim Our new routine has been to combine trips into a triangle of travel so we drove from Myrtle to Tennessee before heading to Florida for a cruise. The timing lined up so we were able to be with Alex’s mom on her birthday and enjoy dinner in a fantastic restaurant, Mauricio’s, in […]

Written by Kim We traveled for 30 days without a hitch until our last day. We started with a few days at Alex’s mom’s in Tennessee, drove to Miami, took a Virgin cruise, took a RCCL cruise (yes Alex still owes you a comparison of our 2 cruises – it’s coming), spent a few days […]
