Cruise confessions as I sail around the world.

About Jenn

My love for cruising began in 2010, inspired by my sister’s glowing stories and stunning photos from her Carnival cruise to Half Moon Cay. I couldn’t resist booking my own trip soon after — a sailing aboard the Carnival Sensation with an oceanview room. That first adventure took me to Freeport and Nassau in the Bahamas, and from the moment I stepped onboard, I was hooked.

Since then, cruising has become more than just a vacation — it’s a passion. I’ve sailed with seven different cruise lines and spent countless days at sea, exploring beautiful destinations and experiencing life onboard from every angle. Through this blog, I share tips, stories, and insights to help fellow cruise lovers (and soon-to-be cruisers) make the most of their time at sea.

All port information included under 'explore the ports' is from personal experience. This are places and excursions I've personally done. There are many excellent options out there beyond what I have shared.
