Carnival Freedom 2020 | Last Sea Day
The end of our Book Club/ Girls cruise was a wet one. Did it dampen our fun? Nope. We duck hunted, played Bingo, watched the Lip Sync Battle and scream sang...again. All in all, another great adventure in the books. Have questions? Comment below. Let's talk travel. Sandra:)

Carnival Freedom 2020 | Cozumel Excursion
zhlédnutí 433Před 4 lety
It didn't take long for us to agree this was literally one of the best excursions we've all been on either together or independent of our book club. They made it fun, entertaining and we actually learned a lot. We asked for the recipes and have made a few of the meals/margaritas that they made for us once we got home. Such a fun day! Ask questions and make comments. Let's talk travel! Sandra:) ...
Carnival Freedom 2020 | Isla Roatan

Isla Roatan and Mahogany Beach was a really fun port day. BUT get there early. We did not have an excursion so we took advantage of not rushing off of the ship. Mistake. Big mistake. No shade left whatsoever. No umbrellas left to rent, either. This girl needs shade on an island. #melasmalife Ask question and make comments. Let's talk travel!

Day 3 on the Carnival Freedom was another amazing day filled with fun, friends, food and gluttony despite my best efforts. We opted to do a Salsa and Salsa Beach Break excursion. Dis-embarkation was a breeze, transport with a narrative tour of island to and from excursion was simple and all staff members were wonderful. Was it worth it? We paid about $90 in total for the 3 hour experience and a...
Carnival Freedom 2020 | Sea Day 1
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 4 lety
What is a sea day for anyway? Rest, relaxation, eating and being merry! I'd say we had a successful day at sea. The only thing that really stuck out in my mind, and I didn't get it on video much, was how rocky the seas were on this particular cruise. I've been on a few in my life and this was by far the most rocky and rough. Was it still a good day? Heck yes! Ask questions and make comments. Le...

Embarkation day is all fun and games until you get up at the crack of dawn, drive for 6 hours and have one too many drinks during the sail away party. Luckily, spoiler alert, I roused myself up to make it for the drill. But it was a close call! Great cruise, great day and great friends! Ask questions and make comments. Let's talk travel!

Jasper National Park was an amazing experience. Sadly, with only one day we did very little. I highly suggest renting a car if you really want to explore the park.

    Medical box…lol. Fist day I removed the cabinet door to the refrigerator (depressing two small tabs on hinges) and stored under bed. Fridge stayed stayed nicely cold the whole trip. Also when we were out of the room I would direct our fan (brought ourselves) to the fridge area to circulate air. Worked great. Keep the door on the cabinet closed and it will never cool to 40 degrees.

    Unfortunately as much as I would like to buy an Away suitcase their smaller size is still too big for Air Transat….the airline we use to cruise with….their measurements are 20inch high x 16 inch wide and personal item is 12inch high by 17inch wide. These measurements make it a real challenge to go carryon only…..but the hardest is finding a 20 inch suitcase. I was able to find a 14, an 18 but not a 20inch….I travel with a 22 inch or 24 inch depending on the destinations and if the cruise is 7 or 10 days.

    This video is from a while back, but your story about the "medical box" made me chuckle. We cruised on the Conquest a few weeks ago and were disappointed our beverages were room temperature. A call to the room steward led to his rushing off to find a replacement. That did the trick. No mention of our having a medical box. Sounds preposterous.
