That Time I Binged on Carnival Cruises...

In anticipation of my upcoming voyage on the Carnival Horizon, memories of all the studying I did to make sure my last Carnival cruise on the Vista last year came flooding back! Since then, I have perused many different ships and itineraries looking to get the best deals and a variety of itineraries for future cruises. I am booked on the Liberty for February 2019 and plan to book another on the Pride in 2020! (Updated: 8/21/19)

But first, some things to note:...

That Time I Finished Saving All My Pennies...

Yes, for the last 12 months I have been real-life Mario...

That Time I Went On Another Cruise...

Husband and I were gearing up for our 2nd cruise that was coming up on October 29th. This time we set sail on the Norwegian Breakaway out of NYC. For us, there were bonus savings because we can drive there instead of flying! We actually took the Megabus so we don't even have to pay for parking.

In preparation for our trip, here is a list of cruise-cabin must-haves that I will be bringing:...
