We are officially over the half way mark of videos for the island series! It is so hard to believe but without further ado, here we go. Barbados to our younger cultures is more popularly known for R&B singer Rihanna. However, even though this was a Southern Caribbean cruise, Barbados is technically completely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean! The port for Barbados is in its capitol, ...
What happens if you get sick on a cruise ship?
Hello Everyone! Today we will be attacking a less beautiful topic when it comes to cruising. This isn't something you normally think of when you are looking at those beautiful beaches for ports of call or laying by the pool with a Pineapple Dream Cocktail.
