Everywhere we ate on & off the ship!
I do like a buffet, and yes I tried this one on the ship! It was pretty good and something easy to grab and go on the ship.

Accommodation
Everywhere we stayed on and off the ship on our vacation to Florida and the Caribbean.
We got a balcony room for our cruise! I traveled with my parents so it made the choice a bit cheaper splitting it with multiple people.
Cruise Rooms & Suites | Freedom of the Seas
This hotel is where we stayed the night before we left on our cruise. Fairly priced, right by the airport for easy navigating when we got in late the night before our cruise. Beds were comfy and it had good coffee and free breakfast!

Best part of being on Grand Turk! They were so cute and would walk right up to you!
Meet the Locals: Grand Turk's Famous Free-Roaming Donkeys
The island is only 7 miles long, so renting one of these allowed us to see the entire island! It was very easy to get to and return, and the locals were so nice to work with!
Grand Turk Golf Carts
We stayed in South Beach in Miami, so of course we had to check out this beach!
Explore South Beach
Iconic in Miami and right along the beach! So many good eats and drinks. At night, all the trees and building get lit up!

Cruise Essentials
Everything I am packed for my week long cruise to the Caribbean!
Those cruise cabins can be somewhat small. No one wants to be smelling all that in a cramped room!
Beach Bum - Poo~Pourri Toilet Spray
Researched sunscreens to find one not filled with bad ingredients to be putting on my skin and is also safe for our oceans. This one got an excellent 86/100 rating on the Yuka app!
Thinksport All Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 | Reef Safe
The exact gear I purchased and have already tested out in the lake! It worked great in the ocean too! I got mine in pink!
Snorkel Gear
My parents went on a cruise before and they said they wished they had these so their things weren't all over the furniture and floors. They stuck very well and could hold heavier items as well!
3 Pack Magnetic Hooks, 60lbs for Cruise Cabins
We went during hurricane season, so this was a must!

Cruise Line
This is my first cruise and I chose Royal Caribbean.
I chose Royal first because it had the best prices for what I was looking for. After booking, I am sure I made the right choice because it seems to be in the middle range for cruises, which is perfect! I wasn't looking for a party cruise, but I also ...

Freedom of the Seas is the ship I will sailed on. I was excited for the many many things they had for us on this ship, and they did not disappoint!
Freedom of the Seas | Cruise Ships
They have their own app! So useful! You can see the ship map, lists of everything on the ship, it has a calendar with all your excursions and bookings on it, etc. This actually saved my life on the ship: My dad accidentally locked the balcony door on...
