This is the Royal Loft Suite on Anthem of the Seas -- it is spectacular! I felt like I was in a loft apartment in NYC and not onboard a floating vessel. Over 1,500 square feet plus over 500 square feet in balcony! Definitely would be living the life here!

Aside from the luxurious accommodations, there are some great perks for booking a suite. There are different perks available for the different types of suite accommodations and it may all vary dependent on the ship as well.

One great thing about cruising that I really love is that there are accommodations for all budgets! I've stayed in interior, ocean view with porthole and balcony staterooms and I've always found it didn't really matter since I was so busy enjoying all of the amenities on the cruise ship that I didn't really spend much time in the stateroom itself -- more just to sleep.

Some travel planners that I talked to on the tour who have sailed on the Anthem of the Seas for sailings of 7-10 days nights indicated that they didn't even get to do everything on the ship because there is SO much to do!

I’ve decided to expand my travel planning horizons …. I will now also be booking cruises! I’m very excited! I absolutely love cruising - such a fun and unique way to see the world!

Yesterday I had an amazing opportunity to take a ship tour of Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas while it was docked at Cape Liberty in NJ. It was SO much fun and myself along with other travel planners got to see and learn so much in a few short hours. When we had to disembark from the ship when the tour was over, I was very jealous of the passengers who were on route to Orlando, Nassau and CocoCay in the Bahamas! Over the next few days I’ll post pictures of the beautiful ship with information that I learned.

Today is National Carousel Day!

Walt Disney used to watch his daughters ride the merry go round at Griffith Park in Los Angeles. This is what inspired him to build Disneyland.

My first Carousel ride was at a very small amusement park that I LOVED as a child -- Nunley's! Although Nunley's no longer exists, the Carousel has been restored and is still on Long Island. It was so fun to be able to ride it again with my kids not that long ago!

The iconic carousel is ready to entertain riders, including a new generation ready to discover its magic. The carousel is located on Museum Row between LICM and the Nassau County Firefighters Museum, accessible from the East Parking Lot.

**Did you know that you are never too old to have Disney "pixie dust" sprinkled in your hair and for FREE too? My teenage daughter still asks to do on EVERY trip! In Magic Kingdom, at Sir Mickey's (near the back of Cinderella's Castle, you can ask any of the cast members near the register and they will say a few magical words and then sprinkle the "pixie dust". It is certainly a lot of fun!**

Has anyone done this before?

Another Disney Springs attraction my kids have been wanting to try! We finally said they could and unfortunately the times we tried to do — the winds were too high! If the wind speed is more than 6-7 mph it is shut down. I told them I would go on with them, but the more I thought about it the more anxious I got. It’s only 400 feet in the air!!! 🥺

Since my kids were young and every time we were in Disney Springs they would ask to go on the amphicars. We always would say to them “next trip”. We’ll that trip finally came - lol. Aside from my husband getting a little (well a lot) wet in the front seat, it was a spectacular ride!!! My suggestion if you decide to try - remind the driver to go slow on the entry into the water!

Today is one of my favorite days .. National Ice Cream Day! Out of all desserts, I must say that ice cream is my favorite! I know I have posted this before, but if you are in Disney Springs, check out Salt & Straw. They have the most amazing Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons ice cream flavor!

We debut new flavors every month, finding inspiration everywhere to reflect our communities and explore what ice cream can be.

As this trip was supposed to focus on relaxation and not the parks, we had a lot of extra time to try some new things. Beaches and Cream “kitchen sink” sundae was one of those things!! We had an amazing waitress, Elisa, and she recommended we all split entrees for lunch so we would have room for the big sundae!! We listened to her and we ate the whole sundae! It was so good! We all kind of rolled out of the restaurant but it was worth it! Elisa mentioned that most people don’t finish the whole thing if they have a full meal first! So much fun! Highly recommend!

I think I found my new favorite DisneyWorld resort last week — The Wilderness Lodge. We stayed in a one bedroom villa at Copper Creek! The lodge design was inspired by the Old Faithful Lodge (early 1900s) in Yellowstone National Park. The resort is stunning!

Positano, Italy July 2022

View from the apartment we rented for 2 nights! If you want a rigorous exercise regime on vacation - stay in Positano! Lots and lots of steps! The other alternative is walking the windy and narrow one lane road with the cars and vespas zipping past you. I can assure you though that the views and beauty of Positano make a trip there all worth while!

Several years ago we were in Portland, Oregon for a family function and we had ice cream at a small place called Salt & Straw. I had a sea salt caramel ice cream and I remember it was so delicious! Fast forward to last week -- when I had the opportunity to have again and it was just as amazing as the first time I tried it. Last year a Salt & Straw opened up in Disney Springs and I couldn't be any happier! It's a must try!
