Indulging on the Carnival Glory

The girls and our personalized beach bags! that my aunt purchased from the Knot. They were great for carrying your stuff around the boat. My previous posts focused on what we did OFF the ship during our vacation. My next few posts will focus on the food and fun on the cruise ship! For those who have not cruised before, cruise companies employ a bevy of things to keep you entertained on the ship. Most of these things are a means to squeeze more of your money away from you like the liquor and shore excursions. For the most [...]

Foodie Travels: Cozumel, Mexico

When we received our revised cruise itinerary (Hurricane Danny sidelined us), I immediately said BLAH to Cozumel, Mexico! Despite growing up in Texas, I have never crossed the border over to Mexico. I have seen the border, been close enough to throw a rock over to it, but never ventured over until now. For Cozumel, I signed up for a "beach day" excursion that included a thirty minute catamaran ride to a private island where there would be food and an open bar. This post is few words, and a lot of pictures :) My Cozumel excursion was [...]

Foodie Travels: Belize

The third stop on our cruise was Belize City, Belize!!! For this port, majority of the crew signed up to go tubing through Belizean caves. I went tubing last summer in Texas and really enjoyed it so I was up for tubing in Belize. Although I was on vacation, I had to be up at seven so many days to make 8am excursions! By 8am we were on a 20 minute tender ride to the shore. I guess the Belizean shore is shallow so the boat anchored pretty far out. Once on shore, we met with our tour guides [...]

Foodie Travels: Grand Cayman

This is part two of what feels like will be fifty posts about my Carnival Cruise from last week. I am posting out of order, but the first stop our cruise made was to Grand Cayman! All I knew about this island was that it was the place to go to hide your money oh and they have pretty beaches! I traveled in a group of seventeen, but we often split up into smaller groups once at port. For Grand Cayman, myself and three of my cousins went on a Land and Sea Tour of the island. We were sold [...]

Foodie Travels: Isla Roatan, Honduras

I recently returned from a week long Carnival Cruise to the Caribbean! I went with 16 members of my family and overall it was a really good time! We got off to a rocky start though, with Hurricane Danny in the Atlantic Ocean. Then ironically, my name sake Hurricane Erika, almost complicated our return home. Due to Danny, Carnival changed our itinerary the day before the cruise, sending the planner in me into a tailspin! I spent months researching our previous locations, but now I only had hours to find what to do and see in these places. It forced [...]
