Yes, it’s time for another cruise vacation–my third one this year! In February, we sailed aboard the Grand Princess to the Caribbean. In July, I had a girls-only trip with my Mom and sister to Canada on the Carnival Victory. And now, I’m heading out for 5 days aboard Royal Caribbean’s Explorer of the Seas,Read more about Cruisin’ to Bermuda[…]
