You know I'm going to find an Irish Pub everywhere I go- today I hit the jackpot! The Castle in Orlando is the absolute best!!

Fish & chips w/mushy peas, Brussels w/pork belly & candied almonds and a cider hit the spot.

Will be back on Sunday for the Trad session.

Ok guys- honest review of MSC Cruises 4 day/3 night MSC Seascape out of Miami- visiting Nassau & Ocean Cay in the Yacht Club.

AMAZING - The Yacht Club is worth every single penny!

From priority embarkation/debarkation to private lounge/restaurant/pool area to 24x7 Butler & conceigerge services nothing was overlooked. No waiting in lines. No loud crowds. Premium food & beverages. Thermal suite spa access including a snow room & salt room. Private beach areas, restaurant and shuttle service on Ocean Cay. Full bottle of premium liquor (selected Belvedere and brought it home) and mini bar with Toblerone, nuts, Pringle, still & sparkling water, soft drinks, juices and teas in the room.

The show performers were excellent! A welcomed surprise as I've not been impressed on any other cruise.

I look forward to the opportunity to take a longer cruise- maybe Mediterranean???

I did take a walk through the rest of the ship and everyone seemed to be having a great time. There was a huge kids Waterpark, 2 large watersides, arcade, pickleball, 3 pools (including 1 adult only), casino, shops, entertainment, multiple places to eat- dining rooms, buffet, steakhouse, Mexican cantina, seafood, Teppanyaki, pizza, sandwiches, ice cream... I could go on and on!

MSC currently sails from Miami, Port Canaveral (Orlando) and Brooklyn. Galveston sailings begin in October!

Let me know if you have any questions or are ready to book!

What it's all about - Another happy traveler!

I went back on forth on plans - some didn’t work out, some did and I decided eventually to do it on my own with the tremendous support and love from Kristie@ Tattooed Mom Travel. She took her time to call me from a cruise at a time when I felt overwhelmed. She helped me out of her own unconditional care and all she asked was for a review. You will be blessed!!

I love helping people have amazing experiences!

(Long update) After months of planning, we are home from spending 23 days in Ireland (and 10 in Scotland), with a wealth of memories and stories to share.
Amazingly, we had 29 out of 32 days of nearly perfect weather. We ate too much, walked miles, saw astonishingly beautiful sights and met SO many lovely people.
The majority of our plans went off without a hitch - and included some unforgettably happy surprises. Much credit goes to my incredible travel agent Kristie, at Tattooed Mom Travel: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557065835646, who “rescued” me when 3 weeks before our trip I realized I was in over my head trying to plan everything by myself! I highly recommend her!
Unable to drive, Kristie arranged buses, trains and private drivers, to get us everywhere. Each one of the drivers was a gem! They were knowledgeable, charming and amazing guides who took great care of us in every way! Yes, private drivers are far more expensive, but it was worth every penny!
Our trip started and ended in Dublin, then went to Kilkenny, Killarney, Doolin, Galway, Claregalway, Ashford Castle, Sligo, Derry, Belfast, Dublin.
Highlights included: the wonderful people we met, amazing breakfasts, music in the pubs, the Rock of Cashel, Gap of Dunloe (boat and Pony/Trap), Di**le Peninsula, Cliffs of Moher-Cliff Walk, The Burren, Clonmacnoise Heritage site, visiting the church where my GG Grandparents were married in Carrowkeel, Claregalway Castle stay & tour, Falconry Experience & night at Ashford Castle, Connemara, Kylemore Abbey, Derry tour, Giants Causeway, Game of Thrones tour, Black Taxi tour, Book of Kells Experience, Kilmainham Gaol tour, Hop-On Hop-Off Buses, learning the history of my ancestors & visiting so many castles, abbey’s and cathedrals.
Many thanks to everyone on this site who so freely and patiently gives advice and recommendations. You were an invaluable resource when I began my planning with no clue where to begin.

Here for all your travel needs- specializing in Ireland, Scotland and cruises.
