It’s all in the details
We have had a lot of little special touches on this cruise. Our fabulous travel agent, Monica Brown of CruzBugs Travel, had champagne chilling in our room for our departure, got us the signature drink package, a specialty dinner at the Italian restaurant, and chocolate covered strawberries delivered to our room one evening. She really…

Smooth Sailing
We have been very fortunate to have had calm seas and sunny skies for the most part. We definitely thought it would be rougher in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. We find it soothing, especially at night. We have been thoroughly enjoying the ship and all it has to offer. The pool and hot…

Come sail away with me!
Easter Sunday. What’s beautiful day! Sammy & Jared drove us to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. The line to board the ship was super long and it took 2 1/2 hours to get on board. Everyone had to do a Covid test on site and wait for the results. Because of this, our cruise left…

One if by land, two if by sea
Russell and I leave Easter Sunday for a month-long trip across the Atlantic and through Europe. We will be sailing for 14 days on Holland America from Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona, Spain with stops at the Azores, Ceuta (Spanish Morocco), Cadiz, Seville, Malaga, and Alicante. Once in Barcelona, we will rent a car and follow…
