Dawn is back! She shares about her solo cruise that she took in the Caribbean.
Travel Story - Caribbean Cruise
- First time cruising
- Chose cruise line based mostly on locations & reputation
- Part of the appeal is to see several different locations in one trip/mode of transportation
- There was a day at see in between ports
- Tampa to Costa Maya, Mexico
- Mayan Ruins
- Got to climb on some of them
- There were a lot of bugs there, specifically mosquitos
- Wished she had prepared for tips for guides and such; needed smaller bills to be able to give specific amounts
- If you book an excursion through the cruise line, the boat won’t leave without you
- Belize
- Brought a smaller boat to take you from the ship to the port
- Snorkeling
- Private Island (owned by the cruise line)
- You can only get to the island if you’re part of the cruise
- Cozumel
- Favorite excursion - swimming with dolphins!
- Also got to swim with Manatees
- When traveling alone, one challenge is if you want to go do something, but don’t have a place to put your stuff (like when you go to a beach)
- Also eating at the buffet - when you get up to get more food, you lose your spot
- Passports and ID cards
- Grand Caymans
- Went to a historical building
- Turtle rescue
- Breed sea turtles & release them back to the wild
