“If there’s no chocolate in Heaven, I’m not going,” says Jane Seabrook. Luckily, there’s chocolate on cruise ships—lots of it. Like this Chocolate Pistachio Dome from Norman Love. Only on Princess. Only in the main dining room.

From weddings and vow renewals to Tiffany’s and Cartier, to couples massages and plush tables for two, the ships prove in so many ways that cruising and love were meant to be together.

Now that I have one, why stop there? What fun it is to spend and haggle and haggle and spend in Labadee, Royal Caribbean’s private part of Haiti. Oh, yeah, the beach and water are fabulous too! #Cruise #Cruising #RoyalCaribbean #Caribbean #Labadee #Haiti #Travel https://www.instagram.com/p/BtAMLe3AWdu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b5bo7mnw24w1

First Cozumel, now Orajestad, Aruba. Where does this boy get the time to actually play? Spotted on L.G. Smith Boulevard, a few busy blocks from the #cruise pier. #Cruise #Cruiseship #Caibbean #Aruba #SouthernCaribbean #Oranjestad #Travel https://www.instagram.com/p/BsuAYW6Br1Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fzuez8b7tjc6

We missed this spectacular monument to the birth of Puerto Rico in Old San Juan on our first cruise there—because our excursion to Bacardi ate up the whole day. More on why cruising should be about the journey as much as the destination at https://musingaboutcruising.blogspot.com. #Cruise #Cruising #Cruiseship #GrandCayman #SanJuan #Princess #Travel   https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsiq8-VAtU7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pwz1zf9p8ann

Well, maybe it’s no longer the world’s biggest #cruise ship (Symphony of the Seas is a tad bigger), but next to the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and the Tower of Pisa, Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas still stacks up to pretty darn big. And it’s big enough to have three neighborhoods, three slides, a full-size carousel, an ice skating rink, two rock climbing walls, mini golf course…and an ocean view. #Cruise #Cruiseship #Caribbean #Royal Caribbean #HarmonyoftheSeas #SymphonyoftheSeas https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsb0uFfgqhi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lwbnijcdufsb

Whiling away at Mahogany Bay, Carnival’s private Roatan resort. You can sun, sweat and swim. Rent a beach float or paddle boat. Kayak or snorkel. Eat or drink. Heck, you can even chair lift over the water. By the way, Princess stops there too. #Cruise #Cruising #Carnival #Princess #Roatan #Mahogany Bay   https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQsAGDg-63/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jfn82iyud8m5

We certainly didn’t expect to see Anne Frank in the middle of the Caribbean. And yet there she stood in Wilhelmina Park, Aruba, an easy walk from the cruise pier. Her hands are bound, while she looks hopefully toward the sky. The pedestal is engraved with this quote from her diary: “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” #Cruise #Cruising #Aruba #Caribbean #Travel #New Year   https://www.instagram.com/p/BsGPakkg2-b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tep8u5yd7icn
