This sailing is a CruiseHabit Group Cruise. That means special events, value adds, and some surprises. On a recent CruiseHabit Group cruise we enjoyed a private pub crawl, chartered a catamaran, arranged group dining, and hosted other events just for those sailing with us. On this sailing we're renting out a private beach resort in Mexico as well as many things those who have sailed with us love. Our partners at Touring & C read more
Utopia of the Seas is a new Oasis class ship, but she'll be unlike the others, with unique offerings and endless opportunity for fun - whether you're a family, a couple, or just someone who needs an escape for three or four nights. In the past, it was often older ships, or at least less "WOW" ships making weekend runs, so we decided to check this out for ourselves just after she launches. With a new tiki bar, a train-themed immersive restaurant, multiples pools, world-class shows, we figured we needed to check her out. Making it all the better is the price. Our friends at read more

We're onboard for World America's very first cruise, and if you've ever wanted to check out a maiden voyage this is a great opportunity. Prices are surprisingly low for a maiden, and the ship will have a lot to offer both for read more

Since touring Carnival Mardi Gras (sister ship to Celebration) we were so impressed that we knew we needed to check her out for a proper cruise. I promise, these new Excel Class ships are NOTHING like you've ever seen (from Carnival or anyone else). Celebration and her sister aren't just the largest ships Carnival offers, but they have some truly innovative and wonderful features. In addition to Bolt, the first roller coaster... read more
