The Good. The Bad. The Ugly: Keep Calm and Cruise

For all you moms out there looking for a family vacation that leaves you refreshed while making vacation memories with your entire family, this is the way to go! Keep calm and cruise!


Here's my top ten cruise loves...

1.) Fresh towels. I love having a fresh, clean towel at my disposal every time I shower. Being a family of six, we do not get this luxury at home. Returning to our room each evening, to see how they are left on our bed, is just an extra fun bonus.

2.) Cleaning service morning and night. I don't have to lift a finger! That's my kind of vacation. I leave for breakfast and return to a clean room. I leave for dinner and return to a clean room. Twice in one day! Bed made. Floors vacuumed. Bathroom cleaned. Love, love, love!

3.) Naps. My favorite afternoon activity. Eat a big lunch and go back to my clean, quiet room for a minimum of an hour nap. What about the kids? They're in kids club having a blast!

4.) Kids club. I love that I can drop my kids off to have organized fun at just about anytime during the day. It's not just babysitting, it's scheduled fun during our down time. 

5.) Hot showers. Oh my! It didn't matter what time I took a shower, I always had hot water. This is very rare at home also and all other vacation places we have stayed.

6.) The food. No cooking and no washing dishes. What a treat! With all you can eat buffets, burrito bar, hamburger bar, pizza bar, ice cream bar; we were fat, dumb, and happy! All the time!

7.) Room service. If you are too tired to walk to one of the food bars or buffets, that's okay. Three words...Free room service. I'm going to miss my nightly BLT and New York cheesecake at the press of a button.

8.) Mr. Sanchoz beach. This is the best and cheapest excursion. Free entrance to a Cozumel beach. If you do it right, you can go to the beach one way for $35. Not each person, but for all in your group...that's $70 total. We go early enough to beat the crowd to the FREE table and chairs. We are back on the ship in time for lunch. You don't have to spend a lot on port days, and you don't have to swim with the dolphins to make memories.

9.) Shopping. I love shopping in Progresso. Mainly because my dad gives us all money to shop with. Spoiled I know. 

10.) Paris nights. Yes, I love my date nights with my sweetheart in the evenings. We start with dinner in the Paris dining hall followed by comedy and broadway shows, and our much needed quiet time alone. No interruptions. Yes, I know. Keep calm and cruise!

What are you waiting for? Schedule a cruise!!!
