Lost my heart in CozumelπŸ˜ƒ!

Absolutely lost my heart in beautiful Cozumel ❀️❀️🚁! If you have not been to Cozumel, do yourself a favor and go. It is an excellent time to go, particularly right now, for a lot of folks dreaming of warm climates during this time of the year πŸ˜ƒ. Fact of the matter is, Cozumel is perfect, any time of the yearπŸ˜ƒ. This is especially true if you visit by cruise ship – which I did. Here is just a snippet of what you can expect: youtube.com/shorts/uVitg8KjkLg

Cannot describe the sense of euphoria when I stepped off that ship to embark on my excursion in Cozumel. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I knew that I would have an awesome time there. I certainly did – visiting Chankanaab. If you are interested in what Chankanaab looks like, look no further than this blog, in which I have provided pictures and videos to peak your traveling interest.

If you are looking to become a snow bird and fly or sail south for the winter πŸ₯Ά. You will most certainly enjoy the gorgeous views and vibes of Cozumel, MexicoπŸ˜ƒ!

Sail Away Vibes – Wow😍!

I am looking forward to taking another cruise pretty soon😎! Hard to believe that it has been a while since I have been on a Carnival Cruise. Of course, Covid had a lot to do with this – but I am so very glad that things are starting to look upπŸ˜ƒ . Sailing is absolutely a passion for me. There was a time that it was not – but thankfully, that is a thing of the past. Here is what you can expect from a cruise experience: youtube.com/shorts/5YTzN99efwM

If you have followed this blog for some time, you already know that this blog has its number of cruise posts. Thankfully, I captured a lot of precious moments down through the years to share with you all.

This particular cruise set sail for the Western Caribbean, which included: Costa Maya, Belize and Cozumel. Before setting sail, there is always a sail away party 🎊 which is what I captured in the video above. It is as much fun, as you see in the video and so much more!

Carnival Dance πŸ’ƒπŸ•ΊπŸΎParty VibesπŸ˜ƒ!

Nothing like a great dance party to get things going πŸ˜πŸ˜ƒ! I love this experience, whether on land or by sea. I am reminded of a great dance πŸ’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 🚒. I am partial to Carnival Cruises but that is only because I have not tried any of the others πŸ˜‚. 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 πŸ‘―β€β™€οΈ 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, πŸ˜‚ since I have this travel blog and other travel related social media accounts (@travelfitguru). Find and follow me on all social media for moreπŸ˜ƒ.

Carnival Cruise – Window ViewsπŸ˜β€οΈπŸ™Œ!

If you have never seen the window views from a Carnival Cruise ship, you are in luck πŸ˜‚. Here is a view from my room : youtube.com/shorts/gxdsqzzL6cs

This is such a gorgeous view πŸ˜ƒβ€οΈ! Imagine waking up to this type of view. If you have never taken a cruise 🚒, you are well overdue. In talking with folks, down through the years, many people would like to go on a cruise but think that it is either: too expensive or that there is not enough to do.

I can speak to both concerns. Cruises are economical because you have the option of paying over time. This was a great sell for me because that was one of my concerns also. I remember booking this trip in August and paying for it in easy installments from August until January.

There is absolutely so many things to do, once you are on a cruise 🚒. From comedy shows, Las Vegas style shows, concerts etc. you will love the cruise experience πŸ˜€. There is something to do for kids and kids at heart.

Did I mention how relaxing the experience is? I was a stark critic of going on a cruise and it only took one cruise for me to see the light πŸ˜‚. I have been on more cruises 🚒 since then and I have enjoyed them all.

Hope that you enjoy the video above and that you will plan a cruise soon πŸ”œ!

Party Vibes πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠCarnival Style 😍😍!

Cruising is one of my favorite past times😎! I have never been on a cruise that I have never liked. The great feeling that you feel from sailing on a ship cannot be matched in any way shape or form 😎! It is something that must be experienced. Experience is always better in everything, especially travel. Here is just a glimpse of the fun that you can expect: youtube.com/shorts/4-0M0vg9e2I

There is a lot of dancing πŸ’ƒπŸ•ΊπŸΎoccurring on every Carnival Cruise ship 🚒. Once you sail, you will be able to readily participate in this experienceπŸ˜ƒ. It is so much fun 🀩! There are activities for all ages. Las Vegas style shows, arcades, casino games, comedy 🎭 clubs etc.

Cruising has been a nice addiction that I have happily had for about 4 years. It got started from one cruise 🚒 back in 2018 and I have been cruising ever since. If you have never taken a cruise before, I encourage you to take one. You will have loads of fun 🀩.

Carnival Cruise Dance πŸ’ƒ Party πŸŽŠπŸŽˆπŸŽ‰

No party quite like a Carnival Party because the Carnival Party don’t stop πŸ›‘! The sail away parties for Carnival Cruises are epicπŸ˜ƒ. There are so many videos of these parties online and the more you watch them, the more you want to be a part of them. Here is a video of one that I was able to be a part of: youtube.com/shorts/rOnKtNBGfyA

This is just pure unadulterated fun 🀩! This is exactly what you can expect when sailing away on a Carnival Cruise. This particular video was captured prior to the pandemic 😷, so things may have changed quite a bit when you set sail. These were certainly great times and the good news is that the cruise ships are still sailing.

With the arrival of August, it is now time for back to school. If you have some time before the kids go back to school or if you don’t have kids but have some vacation time, I certainly encourage you to consider going on a cruise. The industry has taken a severe hit during the pandemic, so they are offering all sorts of deals right now.

I used to think that I could never be able to afford a cruise but the cruise lines are offering some of the best travel deals around. The advantage is that you see more exotic locations all at once instead of flying individually to each location. The downside of cruising is that you have a limited amount of time to see everything. So there are indeed trade offs but rest assured, anytime away from work, whether by sea or air, is time well spent πŸ˜‚!

Carnival Cruise Vibes🚒- Happy FridayπŸ˜ƒπŸ™ŒπŸ’―!

Carnival Cruise Line just has a way of making dreams come true. I have sailed them in the past and I always have been impressed with their commitment to customer service. I have always felt as if I was getting the best experience offered and consequently, I have enjoyed my experience cruising. Here is only a sample of what you can expect, when you choose fun 🀩: youtube.com/shorts/SfvmvgTTTnY

When all is said and done, I would like to have cruised on not only Carnival, but also Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Princess etc. I guess you can say that I am a cruise addict. I must admit that I totally am πŸ˜‚. Admitting it is definitely a great first step πŸ˜ƒ.

Sure, taking an airplane to various destinations would get you there quicker but for so many times in life, it is more about the journey than the destination. The journey provides so many memories that will stay etched in your mind for years to come.

This particular video was taken while I was standing out on the Lido Deck, looking at the beautiful water πŸ’¦. I could remember this moment now as if it was yesterday. I did not have any idea at that time, of the many adventures that would take place in the upcoming days of my journey to the Western Caribbean. Feel free to check out this blog for adventures in Costa Maya, Belize and CozumelπŸ˜ƒβ€οΈ!

Fun at Sea – Sail Away VibesπŸŒ΄πŸ˜ƒ

Nothing quite like a party πŸŽ‰β€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉπŸ”₯! Amazing how having fun 🀩 never goes out of style πŸ˜‚. If anything, we want more and more opportunities to be able to enjoy and to celebrate πŸŽ‰. Truth is, that we spend so much time doing life that we rarely stop to smell the roses 🌹 and appreciate the life that we are living. I found a quote today that says, “Never be so busy making a living that you forget to make a life”.

Indeed, life has so much more to offer than the regular mundane life of making a living, paying bills, repeat. There has to be fun found somewhere in the equation of life. Going out and seeing the rest of the world is one way to incorporate fun but just lounging on the patio, meeting with friends for dinner, having a fun weekend etc. allows the mind and body to recharge. Here is an excellent fun time that I just shared to YouTube – I hope that you enjoy: youtube.com/shorts/bsxFUjqJ9sc

Fun times indeed – I still remember it like it was yesterdayπŸ˜ƒ! We had so much fun on that day that I did not want it to stop πŸ˜‚. Alas, it had to and we were on our way to Costa Maya! On this cruise, we would not only visit Costa Maya but Belize and Cozumel as well.

Hope that you enjoy the video and most importantly, stop πŸ›‘ to smell the roses 🌹 that you earned and deserveπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ!

TGIF – Let’s DanceπŸ’ƒ πŸ•ΊπŸΎ!

Friday is here – hooray to the end of the week!πŸ˜ƒ Hope that you had a great week so far and that you are having a Fantastic Friday. Something about Fridays that really gets you in the dancing mood! I am reminded of the last cruise 🚒 that I took, that had me in a dancing mood. Here is a snippet of that wonderful time: youtube.com/shorts/Z9rmuT0Ouws

Sort of gets you moving – I love that great song πŸŽ΅πŸ˜ƒ. We were on our way to the Western Caribbean and as you can tell, we were just a tad bit excited πŸ˜‚. Of course seeing the number of people all together, it goes without saying that these were pre-pandemic times. Sailing as I understand it, has resumed at ports. It is fully expected with the decline in Covid cases recently, that cruising will come back in a huge way.

This particular cruise took me to Costa Maya, Belize and lastly to Cozumel. My blog contains a number of videos from all of these places. Feel free to take a step through some of my previous posts to see great, original videos that you will not find anywhere else.

If you are traveling to either of the locations that I have listed above, you are sure to have an amazing time. When you are cruising to these different ports of call, you are given some hours (5 – 6) to take in the experience of the location and then it is time to get back on the ship 🚒 to cruise to another location. It is fun 🀩 and you are certainly left wanting even more time onshore.

Hope that you enjoyed the video above and that you will make your plans to travel sometime in the near future.

Cruising to the Caribbean πŸš’πŸ˜ŽπŸπŸ–

Cruising to the Caribbean sounds so very good right now! So much to see and do and so many memories to be made. I went on a 5 day cruise to the Western Caribbean and I was just amazed. I was even amazed by the beautiful cruise ship 🚒 views also. Take a quick look for yourself: youtube.com/shorts/MQyRJ2jdGrw

Pretty cool, huh πŸ€”? I remember walking out on deck and seeing the beautiful views like it was only yesterday. Of course, during these pandemic days, things would look a lot different. Definitely not as many people all crowded in one place but still a lot of activities onboard nonetheless.

The area that you are viewing is called the Lido deck and it is where a lot of the fun happens on the ship, including the Sail Away adventures. Cannot beat fun times aboard a cruise 🚒 πŸ˜ƒ. The experience is so wonderful and the memories will last a lifetime.

Cruising is a beautiful experience and I encourage everyone to partake of the experience at least once to see if you will enjoy it. Who knows, it could be the first of many adventures πŸ˜ŽπŸ–πŸ–!
