Cruisin’

After living in Florida for nearly my entire life, I don’t think I ever truly appreciated the warm weather. That was until I moved here and realized that the winters here are COLD! And they’ve called this season “mild.” So when I have the opportunity to get out of the cold and into the warm sun, I take it.

I am so excited to tell you that for the next seven days my family and I will be exploring the Caribbean on the Royal Caribbean International Cruise line! We couldn’t be more ecstatic to get out of this cold dreary weather an into the sunlight.

The last time that I went on a cruise was spring break circa 2006 when I was a senior in college. So you can only imagine how that went dow

Yes, I was incredibly tan from that cruise. And skinny. And blonde.

This time will be much different, but I’m excited for the new experience.

Harlan is thrilled because we have a chance to check out Royal Caribbean’s new Barbie Premium Experience. Our stateroom will be decked out in Barbie gear, Harlan gets to have a Tiara & Teacups Party, and even play dress up in the very exclusive Barbie Fashion show. 

We also get a chance to check out everything that Royal Caribbean has to offer (including their nursery room so that I can have some “me” time.)

If you want to follow along on our cruise adventures, follow the hashtag #BarbieatSea on Twitter and Instagram! I’ll also be updating here on AMITC and at Babble!
