We had consecutive cruises booked on the Adventure Of The Seas (9/19 5-day to Bermuda; 9/24 9-day to New England/Canada). Our New England/Canada was cancelled before final payment date due to the announcement from Canada, so we were able to request a deposit refund, but they haven't said anything about the Bermuda yet. Final payment is due in about 6 days, and I'm contemplating going ahead and paying it, even though there's no way in my mind the ship will sail that 5-day itinerary without having anywhere to sail for the 9-day period before & after since it was on alternating Canada/Bermuda runs. Ah well!!

Here's our latest Port Guide featuring Costa Maya, Mexico!! 😄

We've got a few more episodes to add to the fun!! 😄

We've got another episode, hot off the presses! It's time for Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan!! 😄

Port Guide this week: Belize!!

Here's our last Port Guide for a few weeks, as we enter our "cruise vlog season" haaah... more coming when we get some slack in the schedule... 😛

Same. We were looking at one of their safari tours for our cruise next month, emailed them a couple of times, and heard nothing back. We're starting the hunt today for similar tour operators, so we'll try to update if we find some responsive folks!! 😄

Updates, updates, updates!  Here are our Port Guides for Dominica and Aruba... 😄

We are headed to Amber Cove for the first time next month and really appreciate your rundown of the port!  Nice to know what to expect before we arrive with our kids in tow, so thank you!

Thanks so much! Hope you have an amazing visit!! 😄

Here is today's episode of ParoDeeJay's Port Guides... focusing on Sint Maarten!! 😄 ~Jay

Hey gang! In addition to our regular 7 or 8 cruise vlog series each year, we recently decided to start a "port guide" series where we touch on things to do inside the port, around the area, and explore ways to have fun without spending any money. We've done six episodes so far (Grand Turk, Amber Cove, Grand Cayman, Nassau, San Juan, Curaçao), with new ones coming every Wednesday, unless something more pressing bumps it off the schedule, ha ha... Figured we'd share, just in case they might help anyone in their research... Hopefully I'll remember to add to this thread every so often, but you can find us on YouTube, Facebook, etc as "ParoDeeJay" to keep up with all our shenanigans. Happy cruising!! 😄 ~Jay

@parodeejay Thanks for the reply. Have watched all of your guys videos/reviews. Have been watching your Conquest reviews while on this ship. WiFi is great on the Horizon. We really want to start doing a Vlog but it seems like a lot of work. May do some practice videos next couple of days. Do you mind telling me what software you use to edit your videos? 

@Gettys84 Thankee! I use Vegas Pro, though it's a little pricier than some of the other alternatives. A lot of folks I know use Adobe Premiere with great luck, or if you use Mac then Final Cut is a good way to go.

@Gettys84 Glad we could help! We love those extra water station options!! 😄 ~Jay

We sailed on the Carnival Horizon for back-to-back loops in November 2018, an 8-day Eastern itinerary into a 6-day Western itinerary. Here's the ship tour we put together while on the adventure, in addition to the full set of day-by-day cruise vlogs on our ParoDeeJay channel. Hope you enjoy!! 😄

There a “Team something-or-other” guy I watch on occasion... mostly casino tours where he almost gets kicked out... parasailing... snorkeling... stuff like that. The name eludes me at the moment...

They did not offer drinks on the catamaran.  On our trip, it was a very large vessel.  I would have called it a ferry.  It also takes guests to Passion Island for another Carnival tour, the All Inclusive beach break.  

@newdestination Thanks so much! That might make them feel better, ha ha...

@newdestination Random question about the Private Oasis excursion through the ship... one member of our party is nervous about getting on the catamaran without a little encouragement. Were there drinks available ON the catamaran, or just once you got to the island, do you recall? Thankee!! :D

Heyo! Yep, I was just going to post that we’re on the second leg of a Horizon B2B right now, and got to experience the first days of the new menu. We ate our way through all the new offerings over the course of the three days, and made a video with photos and our first impressions. Thanks Melissa for the mention!! :D

That's awesome that we found one of your rocks and you were able to connect with us and give us some history and backstory on that. Super cool!
