Sail Away Vibes – Wow๐Ÿ˜!

I am looking forward to taking another cruise pretty soon๐Ÿ˜Ž! 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 up๐Ÿ˜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 ๐ŸŽŠ 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 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.

Carnival Cruise – Window Views๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™Œ!

If you have never seen the window views from a Carnival Cruise ship, you are in luck ๐Ÿ˜‚. Here is a view from my room : youtube.com/shorts/gxdsqzzL6cs

This is such a gorgeous view ๐Ÿ˜ƒโค๏ธ! Imagine waking up to this type of view. If you have never taken a cruise ๐Ÿšข, 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 ๐Ÿšข. From comedy shows, Las Vegas style shows, concerts etc. you will love the cruise experience ๐Ÿ˜€. 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 ๐Ÿ˜‚. I have been on more cruises ๐Ÿšข since then and I have enjoyed them all.

Hope that you enjoy the video above and that you will plan a cruise soon ๐Ÿ”œ!

Na Pali Coast: Living on the Edge๐Ÿ˜Žโค๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ!

Hawaii is an absolute paradise ๐Ÿ˜ƒ! Whenever I visit, I try to make the most of my visit by making sure that I book as many excursions as possible. I assume that every visit is a one time event ๐Ÿ˜‚- so I book accordingly. By far, the best excursion that I have ever been on is the Na Pali Sunset Cruise ๐Ÿšข. Here is just a little sample of the outstanding views that you can expect from visiting Kauai, Hawaii: youtube.com/shorts/uOUE159-VvM

As you can see, the view is amazing ๐Ÿคฉ. Seldom am I a lost for words, but ladies and gentlemen, I was speechless ๐Ÿ˜ถ. I felt as if I could not put into words what I was seeing – it was magnificent to say the least. I felt like this originally back in 2021, when I visited the Big Island of Hawaii and saw the beautiful waterfalls. Seeing the contrast of the beautiful mountains and the baby blue water, was far above and beyond anything that I had ever seen.

Travel, absolutely has the ability to make you speechless and a storyteller at the same time ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Of course, with the seasons changing and the weather getting colder, winter vacations are right around the corner. Snow birds ๐Ÿฆ… will be coming out soon, looking to fly south or to tropical ๐ŸŒด locations for the winter ๐Ÿ˜‚.

I would definitely recommend this beautiful place for a winter ๐Ÿฅถ trip. You are sure to enjoy the relaxing, tropical views of the Hawaiian ๐ŸŒบ islands๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒด.

Party Vibes ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠCarnival Style ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜!

Cruising is one of my favorite past times๐Ÿ˜Ž! 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 ๐Ÿ˜Ž! 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 ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿพoccurring on every Carnival Cruise ship ๐Ÿšข. Once you sail, you will be able to readily participate in this experience๐Ÿ˜ƒ. It is so much fun ๐Ÿคฉ! There are activities for all ages. Las Vegas style shows, arcades, casino games, comedy ๐ŸŽญ clubs etc.

Cruising has been a nice addiction that I have happily had for about 4 years. It got started from one cruise ๐Ÿšข 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 ๐Ÿคฉ.

Na Pali Coast Vibes – Wow ๐Ÿคฉ!

Kauai is absolutely an underrated vacation location๐Ÿ˜Š! I had so much fun visiting this paradise of a place๐Ÿ™Œ. I must admit, I only heard about it from another friend of mine about 2 years ago. She had visited all of the Hawaiian ๐ŸŒบ Islands, so I asked her which island did she enjoy visiting the most. She recommended Kauai to visit. Here is just a sample of what you can expect: youtube.com/shorts/SZWubTzO1kU

Isn’t this a great place to visit? The Na Pali Coast is one of the best places to visit in Kauai ๐Ÿ˜Š! If you have followed this blog for a while, you have seen videos of this beautiful place. When I started researching Kauai, the Na Pali Coast came highly recommended. Out of all of my travels, I have rarely been left speechless ๐Ÿ˜ถ! These views just left me stunned and amazed.

Those beautiful mountains ๐Ÿ” along with the magnificent water ๐Ÿ’ฆ makes for an unbelievable backdrop for this amazing place. I hope that you will make your plans to visit this beautiful island one of these days. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Viva Na Pali๐Ÿ˜Žโ›ต๏ธ๐ŸŒบ!

I have been to a lot of places, visited quite a bit of countries and done a lot of things๐Ÿ˜Š while traveling. I regard visiting the Na Pali Coast as the #1 most beautiful trips that that I have ever taken. The views were just breathtaking and left you speechless ๐Ÿ˜ถ. You are left in awe and wonder when looking at the magnificent blue water with the incredible backdrop of mountainous terrain. It is no wonder in my mind, why a famous travel quote was penned, “Travel leaves you speechless and you become a storyteller at the same time”. Here is one of the views that I experienced while on this voyage: youtube.com/shorts/ZAJOY2-j4Ik

Isn’t it just lovely? If you can believe it, this was just the start of the trip ๐Ÿ˜‚. There were so many more sights to see and they were even more incredible than this one. If you are curious, I invite you to explore some previous posts that I have wrote about on this blog. I was in shock and awe when I set sail and started to see how incredibly beautiful the views were.

I have often heard it mentioned that sometimes we are so busy making a living that we forget to make a life. I truly believe in this and I challenge myself to be more about making a life. Life is so much more worth living when you have some enjoyment (travel or otherwise) interwoven in the fabric of day to day life. This trip was a fantastic way that I chose to make a life and have a new experience. I sincerely cannot wait to return to Kauai and take this magnificent voyage again! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Cruising the Na Pali Coast โ›ต๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜!

Cruising is such a great experience ๐Ÿ˜ƒ! Hard to explain how cool it is, it must absolutely be experienced๐Ÿ˜Ž. Here is a great cruise experience that I had: youtube.com/shorts/tYGLYg3gfAc

Look how close I was to the waves ๐ŸŒŠ! They are such a beautiful blue. I love looking at the contrast between the blue waves and the mountains ๐Ÿ” out in the horizon. If you visit Kauai, Hawaii – I would definitely recommend taking a tour of the Na Pali Coast. It has recently been rated as one of the top 5 most beautiful coasts in the world ๐ŸŒŽ.

If you are wondering the name of the tour that I took, it is the Na Pali Coast Sunset Cruise Tour๐Ÿ˜ƒ. This tour can be booked through Trip Advisor. It is also very reasonable. They do have a no money ๐Ÿ’ฐ back policy, so once you book, you will have to make sure that you will not miss the cruise. Otherwise, do not book this excursion.

Hope that you are having a great day and that you enjoyed the video. Stay tuned for future adventures! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Carnival Cruise Dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ Party ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‰

No party quite like a Carnival Party because the Carnival Party don’t stop ๐Ÿ›‘! The sail away parties for Carnival Cruises are epic๐Ÿ˜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 ๐Ÿคฉ! This is exactly what you can expect when sailing away on a Carnival Cruise. This particular video was captured prior to the pandemic ๐Ÿ˜ท, 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 ๐Ÿ˜‚!

Cruising into the Weekend๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ๐Ÿ›ฅ!

Cruising on the weekend is a great past time๐Ÿ˜Š! Actually, cruising anytime, any day is a great day out. Here is an excellent video of a recent cruise that was simply magnificent ๐Ÿ˜: youtube.com/shorts/_SGzDq-ofLM

Hope that you enjoyed the the beautiful video! Picture perfect view of the wonderful Kauai coastline๐Ÿ˜Š! If heaven were a place on earth ๐ŸŒ, it would absolutely be this place. The views were incredibly jaw dropping and it greatly exceeded my personal expectations!

Kauai is no doubt one of the best kept secrets of the Hawaiian ๐ŸŒบ Islands. Actually had I known how beautiful it is, I would have taken this trip a heckuva lot sooner. The best thing about this wonderful world of ours, is that there are so many other beautiful parts of the world ๐ŸŒŽ.

I plan to visit as many of these locations as possible๐Ÿ˜Š. The possibilities are endless and from following so many of other travelers on social media, I have an exhaustive bucket list of travel locations that I plan to visit. I invite you all to develop a bucket list of travel locations, and start visiting as soon as possible- provided that these locations are safe to travel to.
