After 55 unforgettable days in the United States and the Caribbean, it was time for us to explore new horizons. On the 5th of November, we flew from Miami to Montego Bay, Jamaica. We were super excited - after all, we have heard so many great things about this beautiful island. Jamaica is known (and for a good reason, as we soon found out) for its tropical weather, laid-back lifestyle, sandy beaches, beautiful waters, rich flora, the Rastafari movement, delicious coffee, Caribbean rum, great athletes, reggae music and of course the legendary Bob Marley. :) Our seven-day Jamaica honeymoon itinerary...

We wanted to visit as many Caribbean islands as possible. We googled the transportation options - flights, ships, ferries, we even contacted some local fishermen and asked if they would be willing to give us a ride from one island to another. But we soon realized, that taking a cruise ship is by far the most comfortable, fast and economic way to see the Caribbean. Online we found a 7-day Eastern Caribbean cruise with Carnival Cruise Line - one of the largest travel companies in the world. The itinerary sounded awesome, so we booked it. :) How do cruises work?...
