Fun Cozumel Shore Excursion - Dune Buggy Exploration



Recently, while cruising on the Carnival Glory, we decided to look for a different Cozumel shore excursion.  Most of our previous visits had been to head to town for usual shopping visit and stop at Senor Frogs.  We found a favorite with the Dune Buggy tour.  This Cozumel shore excursion took us to parts of the island we had never seen before.  The beaches we saw were so uncrowded and absolutely beautiful.  We thought we were in our own Corona commercial! 

I would highly recommend this for a truly fun and unique way to see Cozumel.  Another Cozumel shore excursions that you may want to consider would be one of the many snorkeling options available.  Or, if time allows, hop the ferry and head to Playa del Carmen for the afternoon.

There are many Cozumel shore excursions to choose from.  We recommend checking out Shore Trips when looking at your options.  They offer professional service and a variety of trips.

See you on board!

A New Dream - Disney Dream, that is!

The new Disney Dream has arrived and is ready to begin sailings from Port Canaveral.   The maiden voyage will be January 26, 2011.  The Disney Dream will be offering 3-, 4-, and 5-night cruises to the Bahamas.

Joining the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder,  it is the third and largest ship in the Disney fleet.  Many new features have been added to enhance the cruiser's experience.  One is the AquaDuck - a water coaster.  Virtual portholes are a new feature that gives a special feel of an ocean view room in an inside stateroom.  Hey look, was that Ariel swimming by?

For many, the pricing of Disney cruises seems a bit much.  Check out this article for some great explanations for this and why it is all worth it.

We are excited to see some fresh new options for the Disney cruise enthusiasts.  Be sure to consult a travel professional to make sure you get most magical experience.

See ya real soon!

My Fascination with Cruise Vacations

Since taking my first cruise in 2004 on the Carnival Miracle, I have been a huge fan of cruising.  It was such an awesome experience that I decided to make cruise vacations a cornerstone of our business.  I cruised with my family (including my parents and mother-in-law).  A lot of research went in to finding the perfect fit for all of us.  Nothing can compare to personal experience.  My fascination with cruise vacations has allowed me to experience over 20 cruises in the past seven years.

Cruise vacations are such a great value.  Their almost all-inclusive nature allows you to relax knowing your meals and entertainment are already covered.  The ease of visiting multiple destinations without having to pack and unpack for each is an added bonus.  The variety of entertainment and activities on board makes cruising a great choice for traveling with the extended family.

Each cruise line is unique and geared towards a different target audience.  Be sure to do your research and contact a qualified travel agent to make certain you are cruising on the line that will guarantee you an awesome cruise vacation.
