Once back on the ship we sat by the pool and swam for a while. It is much easier to enjoy the pool when everyone else is off of the ship. We headed to our balcony to read and take naps. It was great to

We decided that because we didn\’t have anything planed in Costa Rica we would sleep in so we woke up around 8:30 am (Central Time) and decided to take a mile walk on the track. One mile on the track is

We arrived in Colón, Panama pretty early but our tour of the Panama Canal didn\’t begin until 8:30 when we were to meet our bus on the pier. We climbed onto the large air-conditioned bus with 40 other

We had another day at sea after Colombia and we took it easy… really easy. We checked email then spent the day reading books (writing this awesome content for you guys) and taking naps. The great part

We woke up at 5:30 am to finish packing and get ready for our four hour drive to Miami where our ship was waiting. Goblin has little interest in moving at all at 5:xx am and I am the same way. We both

Almost a year ago we booked a cruise on the Jewel of the Seas. Teresa, our cruise agent, sent us a list of cruises and deals she had found and out of the few that she told us about we chose this one because
