Sadly, this is the last installment of the post-cruise recap. Next week we are back to more local adventures. Meanwhile… It is no secret that I had been dreaming of the almond croissants aboard Seabourn ships from the minute we booked. The food is one of the reasons this cruise […]

I have visited San Juan a few times, each one by ship. I would love to go spend a week there. About a five minute walk from the cruise ship terminals is Old San Juan, a historic town that exudes charm. We had no real plans that day, but I […]
The brochures do a pretty nice job of detailing some of the things to expect onboard, but nothing beats actually being there. I was in this for a relaxing ten days, and aside from the side trip to Galley Bay, and a need to eat mofongo in San Juan (more […]
The gorgeous Seabourn Sojourn pulled into St. Johns, Antigua on a perfectly gloomy day. I loved our last visit to the island, but we only saw it from the water. This time we were invited to spend the day at Galley Bay Resort.

Yes, I know what you are thinking: Rules? What rules? There are no stinkin’ rules at Fantasy Fest! That’s what makes it so much, er, fun! Well, there are some actual law-type rules, which mainly get ignored. But I am talking more about the common sense type stuff here. I […]
