In just a few short weeks Keri and I will be embarking on an adventure to the Western Caribbean and we want your help.

Have you ever been cruising before or know someone who has? What are some cool things we should know or look out for on our trip? I suppose it may be helpful if I provided you with the Ship, locations and some of our itinerary, huh?

We are leaving out of the Port of Miami on an 8 day cruise aboard the Carnival Glory to the Western Caribbean. Out ports of call include Mahogany Bay, Grand Cayman, Belize and Cozumel, Mexico. Keri has cruised once before but this will be a first for me and am very excited about the upcoming SAILabration < see what I did there?

Per are own research, we chose not to book any excursions in advance since you find such varying reviews on all of them, and because we really just want to be able to chillax! We figure, if we come across an opportunity to take an excursion and it fits into our schedule for the day, then we'll go. And if not, then we won't. Leave me a comment, let me know what works and doesn't and what your own personal experience was like. I know that people who cruise tend to do it A LOT, so it's gotta be a blast, right?
