Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
So, you and the family have decided that you want to take a cruise for your next vacation! It’s a perfect vacation when traveling with a family, as there is likely something on board to interest everyone. As much as we would love to spend what we want, most households work on a budget. Whether…
I’ve been quoted as saying “if I can’t afford Disney, then I can’t afford a cruise.” That was immediately following a hellish trip on the Carnival Sensation . Now that some time has passed and I’ve had a chance to recover, I’ve realized that I may have been a little hasty. I’ve recently revised my…
I just returned from my first trip on the Disney Fantasy. It’s the first of many I hope. I’ve been on the smaller ships, the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder, and I was already smitten. So naturally I was very excited about a bigger, fanicer, newer ship! Disney has outdone itself again. I worked…
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…

Where else do you get transportation, lodging, and food (lots and lots of food!) for around $100 a night (sometimes less)? So naturally, those of us that live near a port cruise as often as possible and…
I know, another Disney Cruise post! I can’t help it. I leave in 3 days and it’s literally all I can think about. So, as I was sitting in my living room trying to figure out what to pack, it occurred to me that a lot of these things were things I wouldn’t necessarily have…
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…
