    When you think of a cruise vacation do you think about lounging by the pool and soaking in all the sunshine? I know I do!

    There is just something so perfect about sipping on a fruity cocktail while soaking in as much warm weather as you can. I love all of the ports you can visit on a cruise but I also really like sea days. I used to dread them when we first started cruising but now I try to find cruises with multiple sea days.

    Spending the day with no agenda other than relaxing and enjoying great drinks and food is just perfect!
