There’s a fine line between planning a great trip and planning the fun right out of it. We love having a travel itinerary. We want to know where we’re staying, what we absolutely don’t want to miss, and whether there are reservations we need to make ahead of time. But we also don’t want to

There are thousands of travel apps available today, and if we’re being honest, most of them aren’t necessary. Over the years, we’ve downloaded, tested, and deleted more travel apps than we can count.

One of the first questions many cruisers ask after booking is whether they should purchase a drink package. Cruise lines certainly make them sound appealing – unlimited cocktails by the pool, specialty coffee in the morning, wine with dinner, and bottled water throughout the day can all make vacation feel a little easier!
