10/10 Recommend booking this exercursion!! We enjoyed a wonderful beach break, fast cat catamaran, and snorkeling excursion while at port! St. Thomas has pristine beaches perfect to relax on your vacation (or honeymoon ☺️). I have some great videos of turtles on my GoPro I cannot wait to upload once home. Message me if this excursion interests you!

We opted for the private Terrazza section this trip and we are very pleased! The Terrazza lounge has been amazing to relax in since boarding. We have had beautiful views on Deck 5 aft on Carnival Venezia!

Gooooooooood morning Orlando! 🏝️ this is such a great view to look at compared to winter!

Holiday Inn MCO Airport is one of my favorite pre-cruise stays. It’s so easy to get a free shuttle from the airport & there’s plenty to do once you’re at the hotel. There’s a restaurant & bar on site, a wonderful private pool, cabana & loungers, and it’s close to many restaurants and stores for last minute items!

If you’d like to experience a pre-cruise stay, add it onto your booking by messaging me!

What a great tip!

Travel Tip Tuesday: Packing Edition 🧳✨
A carabiner might be small, but it’s one of the most versatile things to pack! Clip one to your bag for endless uses—hang a wet swimsuit, attach it to zippers for an easy makeshift lock, or even secure your hat to your backpack. 🎒 We’ve used them to zip stubborn luggage, and keep bags securely attached to our suitcase. The possibilities are endless, and we never travel without one! Have a favorite carabiner hack? Share it below! ⬇️
