We’re packed and ready to go! Tomorrow morning we head to Miami for an overnight and then Saturday we board the MSC Seaside for 7 days. We’ll start with almost 2 full days at sea. Then our ports are San Juan, St Maarten, St Thomas, and Nassau.

I’ve researched, lurked Cruise Critics, watched YouTube videos, and basically spent hours reading about cruising. My last cruise was almost 20 years ago. The one thing I remember was it was quite expensive. I expect I’ll find the same this trip.

I had no idea what to pack so I just decided to pack everything. Lol.



Since I’ve spent the last 6 months frequenting the dermatologist and getting sun damage burned off my face I’m going to try hard to avoid too much sun. Here’s my cruise look. Feel free to lol.



S and I are extremely excited about the trip. It feels good to be going somewhere besides Vegas and Chicago.

I’ve read the WiFi on the ship is spotty so I’ll update when possible or recap when we’re back. (Can I handle not checking the forum several times a day??)

Everyone have a great week.
