Last night we went to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party and it was fabulous! This is a separate ticketed event at the Magic Kingdom for a limited number of people. Included in this event is a special holiday parade and firework spectacular show. Throughout the park you can find delicious treats and they have allergy friendly snacks as well. My husband said the ginger snap cookies were delicious! Wait times for the rides was greatly decreased because there’s a limited number of people in the park. Another highlight is all of the characters that are strolling throughout the park and available for meet and greets. Fun fact - they have special holiday outfits they wear for this event. The most magical thing was the snow on Main Street. I highly recommend this event if you’ll be visiting Disney during the holiday season.

Today is National Cookie Day! If you know me you know that Christmas and Cookie Day are almost synonymous. Cookie Day is a tradition that started many years ago with my sister's in-laws and expanded to include my family as well. We have three generations of bakers ( the 4th gen is starting soon!) and have made thousands of cookies over the years!! More importantly we have made memories to last a lifetime. This year's Cookie Day is Saturday and I can't wait to make cookies and more memories. Enjoy a cookie with someone you love today!

Norwegian Breakaway Recap- Food and Entertainment Edition!
First the food! It was outstanding! We are self-proclaimed foodies and Norwegian did not disappoint. Our Free at Sea package included 2 specialty dining meals. We ate at Ocean Blu and Le Bistro. Both were very tasty and the presentation was also outstanding. We ate the rest of our meals in the main dining room and the service and food were just as good. Norwegian does a great job with the main dining. They don't offer reservations but we never waited more than 10 minutes to be seated regardless of how crowded it was.

I also want to highlight Norwegian's ability to accommodate food allergies. My husband has Celiac disease and they were able to prepare almost everything on the menu gluten free. My hubby was very happy!!

Now the entertainment! Norwegian had a variety of shows and evening entertainment. Our favorite spot was the Dueling Pianos! The pianists were amazingly talented at both playing and singing. They even had a few of the show musicians join in one night for a fantastic jam session. Other shows included a Broadway like production, a dance show that was unbelievable, comedy show, and some game shows. Norwegian doesn't require reservations for most of its entertainment.

There were a number of other ways to entertain yourself during the day and night. Other options included a casino, a game room, pool and arcade games, a 2 lane bowling alley, multiple bars, and an Ice Bar. Outdoor activities included a ropes course, several pools/hot tubs, waterslides, sports court, and shuffleboard and more.

Overall, we enjoyed our cruise very much and will be sailing with Norwegian again soon. If you'd like more information about Norwegian and booking a cruise please reach out. I'd love to help you enjoy the cruise of your dreams!

Recently, my husband and I cruised on the Norwegian Breakaway to Rhode Island, Maine, and Canada. We had a fantastic time and I'd love to share some details with you. Today's post will share details of our accommodations, the Fitness center, and the Spa!

We stayed in a club balcony suite room, which was fabulous! We had a very roomy bathroom with a large shower. Our room also had a comfortable couch and bed with plenty of room in the closets for all of our clothes and suitcases. Our balcony was big enough for the two of us with 2 chairs and a little table to put our drinks on. Some of the perks included with the Club Balcony Room were a complimentary bottle of champagne, a free bag of laundry, afternoon snacks delivered to our room on two afternoons, and two free bottled waters.

My husband and I have never used the spa or salon while on a cruise. However, after touring the thermal suite and spa facilities on the Norwegian Breakaway, we decided to splurge for the week and get the Thermal Suite package. It was lovely! After an activity-filled day exploring our port, we would head down to the thermal suite and hop in the whirlpool. They also offered other areas of relaxation including two different types of saunas, one with high humidity and lower heat and one with low humidity and higher heat. The thermal lounge chairs were my favorite! Dozing on the warm heat was wonderful after a day of walking. They also offer a range of other treatments, such as massages, facials, aromatherapy, and body wraps. Lastly, they have a full service salon with professional hair and nail services for both men and women. If you've never tried using the spa services, I highly recommend it for your next cruise!

Right next to the spa, you will find the Norwegian Breakaway’s fitness center. It is equipped with state-of-the-art machines and a variety of fitness classes to accommodate all levels of exercise enthusiasts. Whether it’s yoga on the deck, high-intensity interval training, or spinning classes, there are plenty of options to keep guests active and energized. The view from the treadmills and the ellipticals was stunning! We decided to do our exercising outside on this trip but if we had encountered inclement weather the fitness center would have been a great option.
Stay tuned for more information about the entertainment, dining, and other details about our cruise! Message me if you have any questions or are ready to book your next cruise with Norwegian!

Some highlights from the last few days-
We took a tour of the lighthouses in Portland and visited Longfellow’s childhood home. Yesterday we took a day to relax without a guided tour and explored on our own in Bar Harbor. We found the fantastic Abbe Museum, which is dedicated to preserving and promoting the culture of the indigenous people from Maine. The weather was beautiful so we took a lovely stroll along the shore path as well as enjoying a fantastic lunch. Today we visited the lovely Port of St. John in New Brunswick Province, Canada. It is the only city located on the Bay of Fundy. The day started out a little foggy while we were at the Reversing Falls, but the fog cleared out and we enjoyed another beautiful day exploring the oldest market in Canada, visiting the Stone church, and the Firehouse Museum. Fun fact, there is no longer a waterfall at the reversing falls. It collapsed in years ago due to the changing landscape so it’s just a series of rapids now. Sadly, we did not get to ride the reversing rapids as we had hoped due to mechanical issues with the tour operators ship. We’ve also enjoyed delicious meals and fantastic entertainment on board the Norwegian Breakaway. I’ll be sharing more details specific to Norwegian and the ship next week once I return home. Overall it’s been a fantastic trip so far!
