My husband and I took our first cruise on the Norwegian Dawn December 27, 2015- January 2, 2016. Our cruise departed out of New Orleans, LA.

Last week I was fortunate enough to sail on the Norwegian Breakaway for the second time this year. This time on a sailing that included 3 days/2 nights in Bermuda. This was my 8th visit to Bermuda on various cruise ships, and I never tire of the island and it’s inhabitants. Departure was from the Manhattan

Today was Maui, which I was really looking forward to since one of my co-workers had lived there and talked about its beauty. We hit the buffet, and yes, it was Walmart on sale! Like everyone else, we wanted to eat and get off the ship so we could start exploring. We had rented a

Check in at the cruise terminal was by far the easiest and nicest I’ve ever gone through. There weren’t a ton of people getting on, probably since the ship didn’t leave until later in the day and a lot of people weren’t there yet, but the immigration people in the terminal were actually extremely
