I'm not much of a "Blogger", but this is one time I want everyone to know about!  We have a group of 36 people booked on this trip!  We start by flying to Barcelona, Spain, where we will board MSC Seaview for 7 luxurious nights!!
Seaview is the sister ship to MSC Seaside. We cruised with a group on Seaside in May, 2018! Fantastic ship!!
On this cruise, Seaview will take us to 3 ports in Italy, 2 ports in France and Palma de Mallorca, Spain! Then back to Barcelona, where we will transfer to a hotel in downtown Barcelona for 3 exciting nights there! 
We have so many plans for these ports! 
The plan is to return home June 4! Not promising we will!  Expect lots of pictures and posts from this trip!!
Be ready to join us in June, 2020 on our trip to cruise from Venice, Italy to Greece, Croatia, Albania and Bari, Italy!!

We have discovered another cruise line besides Carnival.  Of course we've experienced most of the very visible lines.  But MSC is fairly new in the US!  At present they only have one ship in the states.  MSC Divina is docked in Miami. But, her sister ships have been cruising in the Mediterranean for years!  This is an Italian line and Divina definitely has the Mediterranean feel!  So far, we've done 2 10-night cruises on this ship!  It is my favorite, by far!  The newest MSC addition is coming to Miami in Dec, 2017!  Of course, we already have space held on her!  You really must give this ship a try!  Love, love, love it!  And MSC offers so much the other brands don't!  Like cruises with Kids under 17 FREE!  They pay only taxes!  Plus the kids' gratuities are discounted! Also, with a Fantastica cabin, in a group, everyone in the room receives a drink package! (12 drink vouchers each)  Later, I am getting packed for our next MSC cruise for 7 luxurious nights!!

Well, I've been a bit lazy about posting on our website!  Sorry!  We had a fantastic cruise in January on Carnival Liberty!  That ship was so gorgeous, I just could have stayed forever!  We had a really great group of ladies with us and cruised the Eastern Caribbean.  San Juan, St Thomas and Grand Turk.  It's really fun seeing all these tropical places decorated for Christmas...

Now we're awaiting a "Seminar at Sea" cruise on Carnival Dream on May 18!  It will be our first cruise on the Dream.  You know I'll have pictures later!  You can all go with us in Nov on our next cruise on this ship!  Check out our "Deals" page.  We also have space on one in August, but we can't go with you on it.  Gotta stay home and feed the dog and cats once in a while.

I'll try to get a few pictures posted from our last 2 cruises soon.....

Hope to see y'all soon!

THE COUNTDOWN!!
Three more weeks!  We are getting more excited every day!  Have you ever tried to pack for 16-18 days in ONE suitcase?!!  And I am for sure taking at least 2 outfits in my "carry on"!  When flying transatlantic, you never know when or if you'll get your checked bags!!  But, I can't worry about that!!  Don says I can only take 2 pairs of shoes......Dream on!!  I'll figure out something!  Part of our group is presently on an Eastern Caribbean Cruise!  We'll have one of those about 3 weeks after our Transatlantic!  We plan on cruising and traveling until we can't get around!  If you don't have a positive attitude and believe you can do it, you will just sit home forever! 
Packing and planning excursions! 

Just 4 short weeks before we fly to Barcelona to start our 1st Transatlantic Cruise!  We opted to go a day early to give us a day in Barcelona!!  I just can't wait to see this city!
My Cardiologist says I'm good to go!  He even recommended some places we must visit!  Like Mercado de Boqueria  and  La Sagrada Familia!  
After exhausting ourselves trying to see so much in one day, we board Carnival Sunshine for 16 fabulous days of exciting ports and leisurely cruising back to New Orleans!  Wonder how much weight I'll gain!!  Probably not much, cause I always get lost on the ships and end up walking twice as much as most folks!!  Good thing Don will be with me most of the time to keep me found!
Wish y'all could be with us! 

I took a little time out for heart surgery.  But, I'm back and ready to travel!  It's almost time to pack for our Transatlantic Cruise from Barcelona, Spain back to New Orleans!  We are sooo excited!  The whole group is driving to New Orleans (we all live in MS, TN and AR), leaving our cars at the airport, flying to Barcelona!  We're going a day early, thanks to Carnival, we'll be staying in a beautiful hotel and exploring Barcelona for that day, then they transport us to the Carnival Sunshine the next day! Several of the folks in our group are agents from our company!  Now, you know it's a fantastic trip if the agents are going!!
Like I've said before, we can't make any money as travel agents, cause we keep traveling with our groups!!  But, we only discovered cruising after we were in our 50's (late 50's), so we're still trying to get everything in before we get too old to go!!
Then 3 weeks after we get home from the transatlantic, we're going with our group Dec 7!  Love San Juan!
I'll keep you posted with pictures and messages on Facebook and this site!
