Fun in the Sun- Carnival Conquest 2013

Summer Cruise 2013 
Carnival Conquest

It's been TOO long
(1st Cruise since 2006)

Disclaimer 
In July 2013 Chris and I took a Western Caribbean Cruise aboard the Carnival Conquest sailing out of New Orleans, LA. This beautiful floating hotel took us to the following destinations: 

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Honduras
Belize City, Belize
Cozumel, Mexico

Chris and I had been on 1 other cruise prior to this one and it happened to be the EXACT same ship without the upgrades. It had been over 7 years since we lasted cruised and that was with my in-laws so this was sure to be a DIFFERENT experience. We also took a short 1.5 day mini-vacation to Baton Rouge and New Orleans leading up to this cruise!  This will be a multiple entry blog about not only our 7 days at sea, 2 entries about our food experiences and  the mini-vacation prior to our embarkation as well! WE HAD A BLAST and LOVED every minute of it!
Thank you for following along!

This was a MAGNIFICENT experience and CRUISE and what truly got us hooked. We knew from this point forward we would be cruising EVERY SUMMER... If not more! Thanks again to my parents and in-laws for taking BOTH of our kids while we enjoyed a MUCH NEEDED vacation aboard the Carnival Conquest.

Somewhere Beyond the Sea- Navigator 2014

Summer Cruise 2014 
Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas

Let the Fun Begin


Disclaimer 
In August 2014 Chris and I took a Western Caribbean Cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas sailing out of Galveston, TX. This beautiful floating hotel took us to the following destinations: 

Cozumel, Mexico 
Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands 
Falmouth, Jamaica 

Chris and I had been on 2 other cruises prior to this one and they were both on Carnival Cruise Line and both cruises were on the exact same ship with and without upgrades. This cruise was all about "New Beginnings" as we tried new things from food to activities that we would not have done 10 months and 210 pounds ago. This will be a multiple entry blog about not only our 7 days at sea, 2 food blogs from each of our perspectives, a side by side comparison of Royal Caribbean and Carnival and finally a Food Wars- Cruise Style. 


Our home away from home for the next 7 days! What a beauty!
