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 […]
April 2024 – All Aboard Silhouette
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 […]
April 2024 – Travel to Ft. Lauderdale via Tennessee to board Silhouette

January 2024 – Crushing it at Hard Rock Hollywood
Written by Kim We always enjoy a stop at Hard Rock Hollywood during our January Florida adventure. We’re not huge gamblers but like to play pai gow poker and some slots.

January 2024 – A Sea Day & CocoCay on Liberty
Written by Kim Our sea day wasn’t very nice weather. We got out to the pool early to get chairs and it wasn’t too crazy. We took turns getting breakfast so one of us stayed on the chairs because we detest people who plop their stuff on chairs to hold them and then disappear. We […]
January 2024 – First time on Liberty of the Seas
Written by Kim Off on another short 4 day cruise. Embarkation was crowded but simple. We went up to Viking Crown to have a drink, get our bearings and decide on dinner reservations because cabins weren’t ready when we got on board. This cruise is a “free” casino cruise so we purchased the ultimate dining […]
