Buckingham Palace
After our cruise we had purchased tickets to go to Buckingham Palace. Because when in London it’s a must-see place. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to take pictures or video inside the palace. It was a huge place even though you are only able to see 11 rooms out of 775. So that puts it…

Pug Cafe London
So, I am still working on my video from Westminster Abbey, but my computer is being a pain. But for now, I will share our experience with the Pug Cafe in London. We decided to do this after our cruise. So, the pug cafe is owned by a gentleman that rescues Pugs. You make an…

Hamburg
So, Hamburg would end up being our last port since when we left port, we would lose propulsion and have to be tugged back to port for repairs. Due to this we would not make our last port of Gothenburg Sweden and we would end up flying from Hamburg back to London for the rest…

Stockholm
For Stockholm I chose to use some of our onboard credit and just purchased an excursion through Carnival. For our excursion we would be going to the Vasa Museum and an Ice Bar. The Vasa Museum was amazing, and the pictures don’t do it justice. The Vasa is an only preserved Viking ship in the…

Helsinki Finland
In Helsinki I chose to purchase the hop on hop off bus pass along with the canal cruise ticket through Viator. For this stop we didn’t have many plans but made our way to Senate Square and then onto Helsinki Market Square to do a little shopping before getting on the canal cruise. Once we…

Tallin Estonia
For this port we chose to just walk and explore on our own. From port to the Viru Gate of old town the walk was just a mile. We chose to see Freedom Square, Kiek in de Kok Museum and to visit the Bastion Tunnels which was $24 Euros for the three of us. We…

Berlin
When cruising the ship docks in Warnemunde which is about two and a half hours by car or three hours by train. For this port I wanted to visit Berlin as I love history, especially anything that pertains to World War 2. So, I ended up booking a tour through Viator that would take us…

Copenhagen
After a much-needed restful day at sea we arrive at our first port Copenhagen. For this port I purchased a Red Sightseeing hop on hop off bus pass through viator. The bus picked us up from the cruise port and there are multiple stops so you can get off an explore what interests you the…

Cozumel Mexico
We arrive bright and early in Cozumel and the weather is going to be amazing. We would be in port from 10 to 6 and by the looks of it there will be only 2 ships in port with us, which makes for less crowding. This would be our fourth time in Cozumel, but first…

Grand Cayman
After a good nights sleep from the day before we wake up to see beautiful Grand Cayman. There are no docks for cruise ships inGrand Cayman, so they must anchor offshore and use tender boats to get everyone ashore. Typically, at least with Carnival, unless you have an excursion booked through Carnival or are Diamond…

Mystic Mountain Ocho Rios Jamaica
So after visiting the falls we make our way back to the bus for a short 10 minute ride over to Mystic Mountain. Once there we get checked in with our wristband and proceed to get onto the chairlift, my favorite thing…..not. The chairlift takes you up the mountain and along the way you get…

Montego Bay Jamaica
After two days at sea, we finally arrive to our first port of call Montego Bay, Jamaica. We were scheduled to be in port from 8 to 5. Normally I don’t book excursions through Carnival but due to us docking in Montego Bay I did for this stop. The main place we wanted to take…

Seaday Ducks Magnets and more
So the first day of our cruise consisted of two sea days before our first port of call Montego Bay Jamaica 🇯🇲. So one big thing on Carnival now is hiding rubber ducks for others to find. Of course we took a bunch for the boys to hide but I had something different. On our…

New Orleans Cruise Day
So our check in time was between 10 and 10:30. From the hotel to the port it is a quick 14 min walk…..or it should be. More on that in a moment. So we wake up to this sight out of our hotel window. So just before 10 we check out and start our walk…
