Do you like your vacations HOT or COOL?

The Weather boys and girls tell me that most of the US is covered in snow, freezing rain, or just cold miserable rain.  Some parts of the South are flooding and in the North there are white out road conditions.  But here in Florida it’s sunny and warm. 

Oasis of the Seas – For Adults Only

If you enjoy an occasional adult beverage (or 4) you have choices galore on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas. 

An Oasis for Foodies

As a lifelong foodie and a Chef for the past 12+ years, I know food.  I can honestly say that the food was better on this ship than any other I’ve been on.

Perking Along at Holland America

Holland America Line beefed up its loyalty club with the Mariner Society Rewards Program, providing on-board discounts while sailing, special rates on select cruises and reduced or free third and fourth rates when booking future cruises.

Chocolate Overboard

Staying Ship Shape at Sea

Norovirus, H1N1, common cold, sea sickness… We’ve all heard the stories of someone becoming ill on a cruise or vacation.  Cruises and Vacations are for having fun and relaxing not for getting sick. 

My first Disney Cruise

Disney- My first Disney Cruise

by Hunter

My Nanny and Pop took me on a Disney Cruise and it was sooooooo much fun. 

A Legend at Sea

I was onboard the Carnival Legend recently and was overwhelmed by the shear grandeur of it all.  The Carnival Legend is the 3^rd Spirit Class Ship in Carnival’s fleet. 

Networking socially

It’s funny. Networking has always been a social activity: happy hours, cocktail parties and business networking events. But those were in-person, up-close and dressed-to-impress types of events. These days we’re online.
