Carnival Conquest: A Perfect Three-Day Escape

Date: May 5, 2025

Recently I embarked a cruise for an exciting 3-day getaway! My vacation begin in the beautiful city of Miami. I spent the day exploring Little Havana, rode a bike through South Pointe Park, dipped my toes in the beach, and then spent my evening restaurant and bar hopping along Ocean Drive! The following afternoon sailing away from Miami aboard the Carnival Conquest was the perfect way to unwind and embrace adventure. Over three days, I soaked up the sun, indulged in delicious food, and enjoyed unforgettable entertainment.

Stop in Nassau, Bahamas

Upon arrival in Nassau, I hopped in a taxi and headed straight to Junkanoo Beach, where the crystal-clear waters and vibrant island energy set the perfect mood. I treated myself to a feast of jerk chicken, fried plantains, Caribbean mac and cheese, and fresh lobster tails—a meal packed with bold flavors that embodied the essence of Bahamian cuisine.

Relaxing at Sea

On the ship’s Serenity Pool, an exclusive adults-only retreat, I spent time lounging in tranquility, sipping refreshing drinks, and taking in the ocean views. It was a true escape from the hustle and bustle.

Unforgettable Entertainment

The Carnival Conquest knew how to keep the fun going! I embraced my inner star at karaoke, danced like nobody was watching at the silent disco party, and laughed endlessly at the comedy show—each moment a highlight in its own way.

The ocean calls, and I can’t wait for the next adventure!

Summer Is Approaching! First Stop; TULUM!

Date: May 7, 2025

As I type this now, trying to put the finishing touches on my final project, I'm seriously contemplating booking a vacation to Tulum. I really want some great Mexican food, delicious Margaritas pool side, and of course the beach! My job was generous enough to give us flight passes to any destination we fly following the CrowdStrike disaster. We did work very hard to salvage many vacations so I would say those passes were well deserved! I just need a break from everyday life, and class will be over so Tulum is sounding like a wonderful plan.
