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).

How I Maximize Relaxation & Fun on Cruise Sea Days
I’ve mentioned many, many, many times that I’m the most happy on a cruise ship. One of the things I look forward to the most are sea days. Sea days are free from schedules and responsibilities, and rather than thinking I’m “stuck” on the ship, I embrace the solitude of the open sea and nowhere […]
These Are a Few of My Favorite Western Caribbean Cruise Things (Part 2: Belize, Honduras, Grand Cayman, Jamaica)
As I plan and prepare for four cruises this year, I want to share my past port experiences by region, in this case the Western Caribbean.
