Cruise tips
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
Such a charming city.
Norwegian Sky
Pack light and small! Bring games or books for activities.
Nothing open on a Sunday
Humorous kitchen ceremony
We got in a night early (customs was a long procedure) which was wonderful!
Carnival Luminosa
Don’t take transpacific
Carnival Miracle
Don’t expect great food except in Steak House. Very mediocre and frequently cold.
When you have been to Cozumel numerous times and feel "Been there. Done that.", take the Cozumel History Walking tour. Really worthwhile! Learned a lot and enjoyed a more local restaurant and learned tons about Cozumel history and learned amazing things about making tequila. Not what I thought. MUST DO!
