All Aboard – Sail Away Party 🚢 🎉🎊🎉

If you have ever wondered about the type of entertainment that cruise ships have on board, look no further than this video:youtube.com/shorts/f4u6XOdNrgg

I remember this experience as if it were just yesterday 😃. So much fun and so much eager anticipation of sailing to the Western Caribbean to visit Costa Maya, Belize and Cozumel. I could hardly contain my excitement, just like kid, excitedly waiting for Christmas 🎅.

The video above is just a snippet of entertainment that we had on that day. Once you take a cruise, there is a myriad of things to do. Casinos are there, Broadway style performances also keep you entertained. Comedy shows are onboard along with miniature golf, basketball, swimming etc.

If you are wondering whether daycare and kid care facilities are there, the answer is yes 🙌. There are also adult only pools etc. if you prefer the all adult experiences. Food is there in absolute abundance: buffets, fine dining, fast food etc. it is almost like a airplane, hotel and restaurants all combined into one experience!

I will readily admit that I have not been cruising since the pandemic 😷 so I caution everyone to take all safety precautions to ensure that you get the most out of your experience. The video above is from pre-pandemic times so the experience would have changed since then. I am sure that the cruise lines will do all that is within their power to ensure a safe experience.

I look forward to sailing in the future and I encourage you all to cruise, especially if this is the first time or if you have cruised before. The experience is an excellent one and the memories will last a lifetime! 😃

Dance 💃 🕺🏾Party on the High Seas😃

Nothing quite like a Carnival Cruise 🚢 Dance Party😁! No matter how many times I cruise on Carnival, the experience seems to get better and better. This particular one that I captured, will give you an idea of what I mean: youtube.com/shorts/W07A6Wr80Wo

So incredibly fun 🤩 to experience this type of entertainment with the staff getting involved in it along with the cruise guests. I often wonder how long it takes to choreograph those dance moves 😂. I would guess hours upon hours.

In any event, it was a fun time had by all. This was pre-pandemic which in my opinion, was the best time to have this type of experience. I am unsure how you accomplish something like this, in the midst of a pandemic 😷. Especially with so many people concentrated in one area.

As you can see from the video, kids of all ages are participating in the entertainment. Certainly the way things should be.😊 There is no doubt in my mind that these times will return. You can count on me to bring the sights and sounds to you. Who knows, I might even meet you there 😃😃!

Cruise Cabin Ocean Views 😆!

If you have never seen the view of the ocean from inside a cabin room, prepare to be amazed: youtube.com/shorts/8dS_vY4-nCQ

Isn’t it just spectacular 🤩? When I saw this when I took my first cruise, I was truly amazed. Seeing the waves in the vast ocean, just blew my mind. Almost could not sleep seeing this amazing sight.

Most times when I have seen video from a cruise 🚢, I have rarely seen what the cabin rooms look like or the ocean view from within the cabin. I am glad to at least check one of these items off of the list for all of you that will view the video. I will have to look through my video archive to see if I have room pictures 😂.

The views that we see on vacation, oftentimes gets burned into our mind and this particular trip provided no exception. I hope that you enjoy the video and that you have a great week ahead!

24k Cruise Views from Carnival🤩🙌😎

Totally love cruise vibes and great music 😃. Nothing else like it. I am reminded of good times and great vibes onboard a cruise to the Western Caribbean. Wanted to share these views, they were incredible: youtube.com/shorts/0gweasHuMrQ

This view is from the Lido Deck onboard the Carnival Cruise Ship🚢. Back in pre-pandemic times, this is what the atmosphere looked like. During the time we currently live in, it looks too crowded but certainly hard to believe that this was normal at one time.

To be completely honest, I would like to sail again when the times captured in the video return. No doubt, the industry is doing all that it can to keep people safe now, but pre-pandemic times, in my opinion, provided the most fun because you could interact with the most people.

Hopefully those times will return soon but in the meantime, there are other adventures to explore. Definitely encourage everyone to works, vacation and repeat, especially during the holidays. Does not matter where you go, just go 😂. You owe it to yourself for all of the hard work during the course of the year!

Living on a Prayer 🙏 😀!

One of my favorite 80s songs is “Living on a Prayer”. It has a way of getting you going when you are stuck in neutral to start the day 😂. Here is this great song live as it is performed on a cruise ship enroute to the USA from Cozumel: youtube.com/shorts/UEi7YSXt4mo

This performance was electric and I was glad to be a part of it. Always helps in the enjoyment of it when one of your favorite songs is being performed! This 80s Party 🎉 will always be one of my favorite memories from the wonderful entertainment that I experienced onboard this Carnival Cruise.

As I have said before in previous posts, I definitely encourage you all to take at least one cruise 🚢 within your lifetime. You will not regret it, you will come back with a different perspective on travel. It certainly enlightens the travel experience when you visit various locations on a single voyage. These are destinations that you would have to visit separately on an airplane.

I hope that you enjoy the video – it was a wonderful experience 😀!

Dance Vibes for a Tuesday🕺🏾💃!

Nothing like a fun trip! 😊 If it contains dancing, you have a party 🎊🎊🎉🎉. Here is a dance party for the ages – enjoy 😊: youtube.com/shorts/BZVkppOhrq4

This was one of the best times that I had on a cruise. The video above captures the dance party which was a part of the sail away celebration. I am assuming other cruise lines have pre-sail festivities also. It was a great send off to say the least. 😂

In the video, it looks very weird to have so many people concentrated in one place. This was the way we use to interact on a cruise prior to the pandemic 😷. Hoping that these times come back soon.

Hope that you enjoy the video and happy sailing to you all in the future.

Can’t Stop This Feeling😊

Had to share this awesome video that I came across while I was looking through my archives. Certainly a great one to get you going to start the week: youtube.com/shorts/gaFUHo5E3XI

Dinner cruises are just next level on Carnival! 😃🙌I could not believe the awesome choreography lessons that has to take place just to be able to perform in this manner. The first time that I experienced it, I was just blown away. I was determined to capture it on the next cruise that I took, which is this one.

Even though this particular video was taken during Pre-Covid times, it is a great pick me up for the day and an awesome memory of life as it was before the pandemic.

I look forward to this great feeling retuning again, hopefully very soon 😀! In the meantime, enjoy the vibes that are captured in the video above.

All Aboard 🚢 – Fun Awaits!

Getting outdoors clears the heart and the mind. Nothing like the wonderful fresh air that is felt when you leave even the comforts of your home and venture out . If you have followed my blog, you realize that any day at sea, is happiness to me 😃. One of those such sea adventures happened on the high seas of Costa Maya, Mexico and it is captured here: youtube.com/shorts/ia1zjm8TF2c

The ocean was just a perfect shade of blue on that day😎. I still look back in awe when I see this video. It is not only very beautiful but you also see just how massive cruise ships are 😂. It is a wonder how they are able to stay on top of the water. From the sheer weight, they should sink but of course they design the ships a certain way to ensure that they stay above the water.

My fear of sailing on all of this massive water, kept me from wanting to cruise at all for so many years. I look back in regret now because I could have been to so many more places 😂 had I not been afraid to take a cruise. You cannot get these type of views staying on land, you have to be willing to venture out from the land.

If fear is holding you back, you are in good company- others, including myself, have been there. When it is safe and you are comfortable, try it out for the first time and see if you like it. Who knows, you could be hooked like I am and start seeing the world differently- from aboard a cruise ship😃 🚢!

Once Upon a Cruise 🚢

Once upon a cruise, I had the time of my life 😃! There was a lot of singing and most certainly a lot of dancing like the video captured here: youtube.com/shorts/ZFHUBtD0vk4

Doesn’t this look like fun? 😜 The video gives you some idea of the overall atmosphere on this Carnival – Western Caribbean cruise. The place where all of this fun takes place is called the Lido Deck. That is where dance parties, exercising and other entertaining group activities take place. This place can accommodate the largest number of guests at the same time.

If you have seen other blog posts of mine, you have undoubtedly seen a few concerts from the cruise ships. The concerts happen on the Lido Deck. As you might imagine, there are extra protocols being followed in the pandemic world that we live in now, but rest assured, this type of entertainment continues on, albeit in a limited capacity.

Once you are comfortable with taking a cruise, I encourage you to do so. I am sure that the industry would love to have new and experienced cruisers, as their industry has lost billions of dollars as a result of the pandemic.

Hello October and TGIF🤩!

Hello October😊 and Happy Friday to all. We are quickly rushing into the last quarter of the year and before you know it, 2022 will be here. In order to celebrate this, I want to share the party vibes (Pre-Covid) that I vividly remember from my last Carnival Cruise: youtube.com/shorts/MI5bseTBf0U Hope that you enjoy 😊!

These were the good old days for sure and I definitely miss them. The good news is that these times will return, we will experience them again! There are seasons in life that are experienced. They seem forever at the time but they come and go.

This particular video was recorded during dinner time on the cruise. This dance party happens on every Carnival Cruise. Most definitely, it looks different nowadays but it is fun nonetheless. The kids dancing 💃 🕺🏾in the video is what makes this video most enjoyable! I smile every time I view it.

Let the good times roll😃 Happy Friday and Happy October 🎉🎉🎉
