The weather in early February could go either way so we decided to take the free port shuttle bus into Progreso and "wing it". My family & I boarded the Auto Progreso free bus shuttle at port and Continue Reading

Up Close & Personal Aboard Carnival Cruise Elation – New Orleans & Jacksonville Port

If the price is right, everything falls into place even if it means sailing on the same ship as I did before BUT since cruise ships tend to (thankfully) re-position guests have the opportunity to experience a new (to them) ship every few years. For the last few years Carnival Elation has been operating from the Port of Orleans (about 40 mins away Continue Reading
