Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
I’m freshly back from my recent cruise on the Disney Fantasy and still adjusting to life back on land. I’ve been on several Disney Cruises before, but this was my first time on the newer ships (Dream and Fantasy) that feature Remy. Remy is a fine dining French restaurant based on the Disney Pixar…
As if going on a Carnival Cruise weren’t bad enough, apparently “that time some thing horrifying happened to me far away” is becoming a series. (see, that time I was kidnapped in Arusha). I’ve previously written about Nassau and taken a “come on guys, it’s not so bad” stance. I still maintain that it’s not…

In just over a week I’ll be leaving on my annual Disney Cruise! I’m very much looking forward to it and thought this would be a great time to revisit last year’s cruise with some tips and tricks to help make the most of your time at sea. One of the big perks of being…
