Win An Amazing Cruise – Show Me Your #CruiseSmile

I have cruised 5 times.

Bahamas, Caribbean, Mediterranean, South Pacific and Alaska.

We’ve cruised with Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Holland America.

But there are still so many more cruises I want to do.

And so many more cruise lines to explore.

They all offer something unique and different.

Why do we love cruising so much? Could it be 24-hour access to delicious food without having to lift a finger to cook? Or perhaps the free kids club so Josh and I can enjoy a romantic holiday too? Or maybe it’s the fact that I only unpack once yet I can see multiple cities, countries and even continents. There’s so many reasons to love a bigger-than-life ship sailing to dreamy destinations.

In fact, we love cruising so much we are heading out to our next dream destination: Hawaii! Starting off in Los Angeles, we’ll be sailing for 15 days in November/December with Carnival!

Can you imagine?

15 days of no cooking, no cleaning, snorkelling, swimming, tropical beaches, volcanoes and luaus!

You want to come, right?
