Sailing on the High Seas on a Carnival Cruise๐Ÿ˜ƒ!

Carnival Cruise Lines provides one of the best experiences on a cruise๐Ÿ˜ƒ! Each one that I sail seem to further exceed my expectations. As you have heard on this blog, countless of times, it is worth at least trying a cruise once, just to see if you would like it. You never know until you try. One thing for sure, it will be an experience that you will not soon forget ๐Ÿ˜‚. Here is a view of the Lido deck from a recent cruise: youtube.com/shorts/MooDDU0TPwk

Perhaps the first thing that you notice is all of the people there ๐Ÿ˜‚. There are usually a number of people at any given time on the Lido deck but if it is too crowded for you, the ship is massive, so you will find peace and solitude anywhere else on the ship ๐Ÿšข. There are adult only areas of the ship that are more secluded.

I am planning another cruise this year and I absolutely cannot wait. It should be a lot of fun and I am looking forward to meeting other people from the USA and other parts of the world ๐ŸŒŽ. Going to new places, seeing new things and new people are all elements of a great cruise. In addition to those things, rest and relaxation are the top things on my list.

Hope that you enjoyed the video above and that you will make your plans to sail in 2023๐Ÿ˜ƒ!

Happy New Yearโ€™s Eve ๐Ÿ˜ƒ!

2022 was such a phenomenal year in a lot of different ways๐Ÿ˜! As there are only a few hours left in 2022, I wanted to take some time to reflect on the year that was. It was an incredible travel year for me. It stands second to none to any other year . I have traveled to different parts of this world and seen so many beautiful people and things along the way๐Ÿ˜ƒ! Yet, I stood absolutely amazed to the spectacular views that I saw on this year. Here is just a sampling of what 2022 had to offer for me: youtube.com/shorts/_Kd6S93I0Us

Isn’t it absolutely amazing ๐Ÿคฉ? I was astonished by the beauty that I saw in both Kauai, Hawaii and Montego Bay, Jamaica. I had never visited Kauai before but I had heard so many great things๐Ÿ˜€. It was absolutely everything that I had heard and so much more.

Montego Bay was phenomenal also๐Ÿ˜! I had visited this beautiful island once before but I had never visited Negril. Negril was so gorgeous, particularly, Rick’s Cafe! If you have not been, by all means, go. You will have such a special time there and you will definitely want to come back to experience it again.

Here’s wishing you all the best for a headland prosperous New Year!

Carnival Cruise Vibes ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธโค๏ธ!

Who doesn’t like a great cruise ? Especially if it is on a great cruise line like Carnival, Royal Caribbean etc. It took a while for me to go on my first cruise, but since that time – I am definitely hooked. This is a great reason why ๐Ÿ˜ƒ:youtube.com/shorts/GfxqGNtVvLQ

Each of the cruises that I have taken has taken me places that I have never been before. When you travel, you really get a chance to see how small your world is, compared to a much larger world that needs to be explored. I am beginning more and more to appreciate any of the adventures that I have been blessed to take because it has made me so much more well rounded.

Cruises are perhaps the best way, in my opinion, to travel. It seems expensive at first until you start adding in the other way to travel, which includes airfare, hotel, food etc. Cruise ships are all inclusive experiences – food, logging and even drinks (not alcohol but you can purchase a drink package) are included in the one price.

Cruise operators (Carnival etc.) also give you the ability to pay over time for your cruise experience. The particular cruise that the video references above was to the Western Caribbean. It was such a great experience – which you can see in the video. You are sure to leave amazed and enthusiastic about going on another experience!

Carnival Cruise Vibes๐Ÿ˜Žโค๏ธ!

Cruising is absolutely one of my favorite past times๐Ÿ˜ƒ! I absolutely enjoy being out on the water and taking in all of the spectacular views. If you have followed this blog for some time, you already know that I am a huge fan of cruising. As 2022 comes to a close and I look out on the horizon of 2023, I am hopeful to cruise, yet again, embarking on uncharted territory and experiencing new adventures ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. If you have never cruised before, here is a glimpse of what you can expect: youtube.com/shorts/TQ-LnBQ_Kvs

There is nothing like the feeling of being onboard a cruise ship! It is a feeling that cannot really be described but experienced๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Meeting new people and trying new cuisine are great but the amazing views of the ship cruising along the vast sea is just incredible. It is awesome being able to see the ocean for as far as the eye can see.

I know that this image can be scary at first but you get used to seeing it, after you have cruised for a while and it no longer bothers you. It is calming, much like watching a beautiful waterfall. I love the smooth vibrations of the cruise ship ๐Ÿšข sailing along the beautiful blue waters.

If you are currently planning to vacation in 2023, I would like to strongly recommend taking a cruise for the first time. You will be in awe ๐Ÿซข of what you will see and the memories that you will make๐Ÿ˜Ž!

Jamaican Pool Workout ๐Ÿ˜ƒ!

If you love working out as much as I do, you will indeed love this pool workout that I captured ๐Ÿ˜ƒ: youtube.com/shorts/AyoBVnPCOWI

Wouldn’t you love to hang out here also? What an amazing resort the Hilton Rose Hall is. This was the second time that I had the opportunity to stay at this magnificent place. If you are looking for a place to hang out during your stay in Montego Bay, look no further than this outstanding resort! It looks like paradise as you can see in the video.

On this particular day, it was bittersweet, because after a few fun filled days there, it was unfortunately time to go ๐Ÿ˜ข. If you have followed this blog for a while, you have seen the spectacular views that Jamaica has to offer.

This is a perfect time to visit Jamaica because the weather is so cold ๐Ÿฅถ now. Jamaica is one of the best keep secrets for snow birds ๐Ÿฆ in the winter. It is one of the least expensive options, which makes it high on my list! If rest and relaxation is high in your list, Jamaica is the place to go.

Jamaica Destination Vibes๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ!

If you are looking for an escape from the bitterly cold weather of winter, I would like to suggest spending a week or so on the beautiful island of Jamaica ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ! The island has so much to offer and you will instantly love the great people, food and the beautiful beaches. This location may be just what the doctor ordered ๐Ÿ˜‚:youtube.com/shorts/2JskdSjj3Qo

I have visited the island ๐Ÿ๏ธ twice now and I have done different excursions each time. Although it is a small island, you will not get bored ๐Ÿฅฑ. There is so much to do and so little time to do it ๐Ÿ˜‚ โค๏ธ. You will essentially run out of time before running out of things to do.

The Hilton Rose Hall is definitely a spectacular place to stay while visiting Montego Bay. The hotel is top notch and has something to offer for everyone. It is also all inclusive, which in my book, makes it an even better experience ๐Ÿ˜ƒ.

If you are a snow โ„๏ธ bird ๐Ÿฆข, who is looking to move to warmer climates during the spring, you are sure to enjoy the magnificent island of Jamaica. You can experience not only a break from the cold temperature, but some much needed relaxation!โค๏ธ

Carnival Cruise Sail Away Vibes๐Ÿ˜Ž

Sailing is a relaxing experience ๐Ÿ˜ƒSo relaxing that if you do it once, you will want to do it again. It is certainly an incredible experience that you are sure to enjoy. My experience sailing/cruising has been, up to this point, on Carnival. Carnival does an excellent job of keeping you relaxed and keeping you engaged during your entire voyage. Here is just a snippet of the fun vibes that you are sure to enjoy during your voyage: youtube.com/shorts/UVWuWfXKuW8

So very fun and very entertaining at the same time. Could not believe my eyes when I got on the ship ๐Ÿšข but I quickly realized that this first sail away entertainment, was just preparing me for the fun that would come everyday during the cruise experience.

It was a lot of fun, to say the least. There is something for kids of all ages to do. Really the only thing that you will manage is your time to do everything there is to offer. Cruising is totally next level and you will leave the experience, leaps and bounds better than you started it!

So if you have been on the fence about taking a cruise for 2023 – this is absolutely your sign to do so. Cruises are taking new voyages and the sooner that you book, the cheaper it will be ๐Ÿ˜ƒ!

Jamaica Beach Trip๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ!

Life is a beach ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ˜Ž! My favorite paths in life has always led to the beach ๐Ÿ–. It is one of the best past times there is. I have never seen a beach that I have not loved. Maybe it is the warm sunshine or possibly the waves hitting against the shore๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Whatever it is – I need it always. Vacations are made to be experienced at the beach. It is so very relaxing and provides a proper respite from the regular day to day drudgery (at times) of life. Here is one such beach that brings back so many fond memories: youtube.com/shorts/yFbIHu0f2Mo

If you have never been to Jamaica, make your plans to get there ASAP ๐Ÿ˜ƒ! You will enjoy the gorgeous views, beautiful sunrises and the warm hospitality of the Jamaican people. Make no mistake about it, this is a trip that needs to be taken. If you love beach ๐Ÿ– vacations – you will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful place to experience it.

Na Pali Coast Vibes – Wow ๐Ÿคฉ!

I love the nice blue water of Hawaii shores๐Ÿ˜Ž! If you have never had the opportunity to visit Hawaii, it is absolutely a must see. You will be blown away by the incredible beauty that Hawaii has to offer. Here is just a glimpse of what you could expect from visiting this amazing island ๐Ÿ: youtube.com/shorts/N1JXAmleKMw

From looking at this video, I instantly go back to the wonderful time that I had on this cruise. I am a cruiser for sure! In fact, I have never been on one that I have not liked or enjoyed. I have been on many and I look forward to going on many more. It is a thrill of a lifetime to be out there on the water and in this instance, to be able to see the beautiful mountains out on the horizon.

Kauai is one of the best kept secrets. If I had known how beautiful it is, I would have gotten here sooner. ๐Ÿ˜‚ What a wonderful adventure that it turned out to be. I encourage everyone to check it out for yourselves! You will not be disappointed ๐Ÿ˜Ž.

Carnival Dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ๐ŸพParty Vibes๐Ÿ˜ƒ!

Nothing like a great dance party to get things going ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ƒ! I love this experience, whether on land or by sea. I am reminded of a great dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ party that took place during a recent cruise. It was so totally epic that I still remember how much fun that I had from the great experience. Here is how it got started: youtube.com/shorts/teYB4OTSAaE

I will forever be a great fan of cruises ๐Ÿšข. I am partial to Carnival Cruises but that is only because I have not tried any of the others ๐Ÿ˜‚. I plan to be more active on the cruise front and try the various other cruise lines. It will be interesting to understand the similarities and the differences across the various cruise lines.

This dance party ๐Ÿ‘ฏโ€โ™€๏ธ was the first one that I had the pleasure of experiencing and the first that I actually recorded also. I am a big fan of making videos while I am on vacation. Of course, you probably figured that by now, ๐Ÿ˜‚ since I have this travel blog and other travel related social media accounts (@travelfitguru). Find and follow me on all social media for more๐Ÿ˜ƒ.
