  • A Disney Cruise isn’t just for families with young children

    I recently had the chance to cruise with my sister and family on the Disney Wonder. My sister is a cruise veteran but she always hesitated when I mentioned taking a Disney cruise.

  • Labadee or Labadon’t

      The fourth and final port-of-call on our 7-night Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas cruise vacation is Labadee.  This is RCCL’s attempt at a private island, similar to Disney Cruise Line’s Castaway Cay.  However, this is not an island but a peninsula of land off the tip of Haiti and while RCCL has had…
