Travel Tips and Tricks Episode: 19

  


  Welcome back fellow Adventures to another episode of Travel Tip and Tricks. Last week we talked about the importance of bringing plenty of snacks, drinks, and water. This week we are going to discuss an important tip that a friend gave me when you are booking a cruise. More specifically a cruise cabin. So let's get started!
    Some people don't know this, especially first time cruisers, but on some of Carnival Cruise Lines larger ships they actually have different types of cabins. Mostly found on the Carnival Vista Class ships and bigger, Carnival has 3 specialty type cabins and suites that are different from the normal cabins and suites. The areas these cabins are located are called Family Harbor, Cloud 9 Spa Staterooms, and Havana Cabana. Each specialty type comes with features and/or perks that no other cabins and suites have.


    The Family Harbor cabins and suites as the name suggests is the designated family area and is located near other family friendly areas on the ship. Getting one of these cabins gives you access to the Family Harbor Lounge where you can enjoy a complimentary breakfast, snacks, large-screen tv, boards games, family movies, and video games. Kids can also eat free at most specialty dinning restaurants (adults must be present), and a free night of babysitting at the Camp Ocean's Night Owls Program. Carnival even offers family bathrobes as well.



    The Cloud 9 Spa Cabins are age- restricted, and must be 18-years or older. These rooms are located near the spa and offer exclusive access to the spa pool, thermal suites, and various steam and sensory shower rooms. You will also receive priority access and preferred booking at the spa for your treatments, and possible welcome ritual, complimentary fitness classes, and exclusive spe discounts on port days.



     The Havana Cabana cabins and suites are also age restricted at 12-years and older. Some rooms in Havana Cabana come with a private patio area, but all Havana Cabana rooms have access to the Havana Cabana bar and pool area. This includes access to the pool, hot tubes, and bar. 

    All 3 types of specialty cabins and suites are a different cost from the normal cabins. How you can see these prices and possibly book one of these specialty cabins is actually quite simple yet can get overlooked. All you have to do is log in, click on the cruise you want, and follow the prompts till it takes you to where you select the type of cabin you want. Then start scrolling till you find the specialty cabins listed, and then choose which one you want (indoor, balcony, or suite). Click on it and it will give you a run down of the price and what your total will be. You don't have to commit to anything. You can book that cabin or just exit out and not commit and pay anything. So next time you are booking with Carnival Cruise be sure to check out all the cabins and find the right one for you.

    Until next time my fellow Adventurers!

Woody’s Roadside Bar and Grill

Image
One of the restaurants where my family likes to eat is Woody’s Roadside Bar and Grill located on Highway 605/ Lorraine Rd. I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times and not once have I ever had bad service. All the employees are super nice and upbeat, and the food is amazing. My mom normally gets the chicken strips and fries while I get the pulled pork sandwich, fries, and sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries, in my opinion, are absolutely addictive. 😋 I normally can’t finish all of mine, but that is ok because I take it home for leftovers to put in my lunch box for the next time I work at my part-time job.     I highly recommend eating here if you have the chance. The atmosphere is fun, the staff and food is amazing. It is a little loud in the restaurant so if you are looking for some place a little quieter, then this may not be for you. For the guys that want to watch the game while they eat, there are plenty of TVs. Some are in the dining area and more ...

      Welcome back my fellow Adventures! I hope you enjoyed the latest episode of Travel Tips and Tricks Tuesday. I know all of you are wondering where we are going this week. Well, this is more like an announcement, because I personally won't be going till its warmer. However, for those that want to go to a really great beach in this cooler weather the Ship Island Excursions Ferry is opening back up for the season! Starting tomorrow, Friday, March 21, the ferry will start taking people back to Ship Island.     Tickets start at $44 for adults. They do offer different prices for seniors, kids, and military as well. The ferry ride takes about an hour to get to the Island. Get to the port early to get a good seat. They do offer concession stands on the boat and on the island, to be sure to bring extra money with you because it does cost extra. Prices for food, drinks, snacks, lounger and umbrella rentals, and souvenirs really isn't that bad.      Th...

Samurai Japanese Cuisine, Sushi Grill, and Bar

Image
            Hi everyone, today we are taking a trip to Samurai Japanese Restaurant. It is a small restaurant located on Sangani Blvd, across the stree from the Wal-Mart Supercenter in D'Iberville, MS. The atmosphere of the restaurant, though small, is very quiet and relaxing with relaxing music playing quietly in the background.     Once seated your server brings out hot towel to clean your hands, which is a great touch. Especially in the winter when even just 2 minutes outside and your fingers will be ice cold. Then once you're ready the server will take your order. My mom and I only waited about 5 minutes and the server brought out our soups, salad, and spring rolls. They were served hot and delicious  😋. Then about 5 minutes later our food arrived. Nice, hot, and delicious 😋. I had the chicken and steak hibachi meal and my mom had the chicken hibachi.      This restaurant does not have the show where the hibachi chef ...
