Carnival Sensation for Mommies

Sooooo….. my best friend emailed me one day in March and declared that she needed a weekend away from “life” and asked if I wanted to join her on a weekend cruise. I said yes, quickly, but ultimately forgot about our convo for several weeks until I received an email from her in mid April highlighting an awesome deal from Carnival. For less than $400 bucks we would be able to take to the high seas for 3 nights, leaving on a Thursday and returning early on a Sunday morning. It was the perfect itinerary for our busy husbands and kids to make some schedule adjustments and have extra coverage (help) from family back home. It was a no brainer.

Experiencing the Magic On Our First Disney Cruise

Since we took our first family cruise in December 2014 we had a feeling we were on our way to becoming cruise lovers. The 4-night Bahamas trip on the Enchantment of the Seas was a perfect “intro” cruise and it totally whet our appetites for more interesting itineraries and ships. Pretty much as soon as we returned I started researching cruise lines, specifically Disney Cruise Line as we kept hearing rave reviews about it, not only online but from friends. I just happened to be doing a search in February of this year when I noted a markedly reduced rate listed for the last week of April. We discussed it and realized that combined with the currently available Florida Resident Rates this was almost too good to be true. Sure enough, within 36 hours of our booking the cruise the listed online rates sprang back up to normal market rates!

Discovering Orlando’s Crayola Experience

Recently our family spent some time at the Crayola Experience which opened at the Florida Mall in Orlando earlier this year. We attended a birthday party hosted there on a Sunday morning. When we first arrived, we were not sure exactly what to expect. We had friends from church who had gone to visit once before us and they loved it but their descriptions were limited.

Our First Family Cruise on Enchantment of the Seas

It’s all my parents fault, really…. In September of 2014 my world traveling parents went on a 7 day Carnival cruise to the Southern Caribbean and had an awesome time. My mother and I speak often (not often enough if I’ll be honest) and I got the extended trip recap from her over a series of conversations. They had such a blast that my husband and I started thinking about taking a trip, ourselves. A quick search of upcoming cruises leaving from Port Canaveral led us to Royal Caribbean’s Enchantment of the Seas, which does 3 and 4 night cruises from Port Canaveral to Nassau and Coco Cay (Royal Caribbean’s private Bahamas island). Hubby and I had been on a handful of cruises beforehand with our families and friends, so we were familiar with the experience.
