Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Days 7 & 8 – Sea Days
There were still so many things we wanted to do on board Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas, we were looking forward to two sea days.

Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 6 – St. Kitts & Mt. Liamuiga
Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view.

Having recently completed Royal Caribbean University, I knew we'd be just fine. The Cruise Compass (daily planner) seemed to overflow with activities. However, the kids… Continue reading Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 3 – Sea Day – Christmas Eve
Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas Day 2 – Nassau and Formal Night
Nassau was a sort of bonus fourth port of call for us. Since half of our group were born and bred Bahamians, we divvied priorities and ended up splitting into two groups. I customized a sightseeing/snorkeling tour with my uncle taxi/tour guide so that my mother-in-law, for whom this was her first visit, could learn… Continue reading Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas Day 2 – Nassau and Formal Night

While it is tradition for us to travel over Thanksgiving, the four of us typically spend Christmas close to home.
