While making marmalade last year with my costuming friend Tina and my blogging bestie Miranda from Spooky Little Halloween, we booked a Halloween cruise under the influence of a lot of alcohol (as one does). And then we convinced our other blogging bestie, Cheyenne from Sense & Serendipity to sell find a sitter for her kids and come along…and the rest is history! […]

Halloween Cruise? Don’t Mind if I Boo! (Part 1: The Cruise)
While making marmalade last year with my costuming friend Tina and my blogging bestie Miranda from Spooky Little Halloween, we booked a Halloween cruise under the influence of a lot of alcohol (as one does). And then we convinced our other blogging bestie, Cheyenne from Sense & Serendipity to sell find a sitter for her kids and come along…and the […]

Packing Light: Carry-On for a 7+ Day Cruise

Last month we sailed on Carnival Horizon (Vista Class) from Miami to the Southern Caribbean (Grand Turk, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Curacao).

It’s small, packed with ALL the necessities, fits ridiculously well in between shoes in a carry-on […]

Alaskan Cruise: Wine Tastings on Ruby Princess
Maybe I’m just a wino, but one of the things we do during the First 24 Hours on a Cruise Ship is look for wine tastings. This is a great way to taste the available wines on the ship without committing to a full bottle (or glass). When we cruised Ruby Princess from Seattle to […]
