One of two cantilevered whirlpools, with the stars up above and the ambiance lighting of the ship, can you hear the soft music in the background?  Below the perfect place for a romantic stroll this Valentines day, Central Park!

Royal Reunion a Short Film by James Brolin

What an Amazing short film directed by James Brolin, I believe it will bring a sentimental tear or smile to each one of my readers; Bravo James Brolin and Royal Caribbean!

Liberty of the Seas

Here is a slide show of my last two trips on the Liberty of the Seas the first one was a 2 day pre-inaugural trip with many happy industry leaders, and the other was a fantastic 7 day cruise for my daughters birthday.  Although we had a great time in the ports, we actually enjoyed the days at sea as the ship has so much to offer it is hard to find time to do everything!  The photo above was taken in Labadee, Haiti this is Royal Caribbean's private island, and before they completed the changes to accommodate the Oasis and Allure of the Seas, still it is a beautiful sanctuary.

Liberty of The Seas Slideshow: Cruise’s trip from Miami, Florida, United States to 4 cities Miami Beach, Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman and Labadee (near Cap-Haitien, Haiti) was created by TripAdvisor. See another United States slideshow. Create a free slideshow with music from your travel photos.

Fabulous Food Fridays - The Bahamas

This is my very 1st "Fabulous Food Friday's" and since I have been writing about The Bahamas we will start with the National food of The Bahamas "Conch."  Bahamians have made this typically bland mollusk taste Oh so Good once they start adding all those island flavors!  Although you can find conch made in many different ways (conch chowder, cracked conch, conch stew, conch cakes) a couple of the most popular would be Conch Fritters (usually eaten as an appetizer) and Conch Salad enjoy the video courtesy of Bahamas Breeze where even you too can learn how to prepare conch fritters.
As for some of the popular libations the world famous "Bahama Mama,"  recipe so refreshing along with Kalik the beer of the Bahamas... ♥ Noemi
