There’s something magical about stepping aboard a ship knowing adventure is just over the horizon. For Sandy and me, this journey wasn’t just about escaping the everyday — it was about immersing ourselves in vibrant cultures, tasting the flavors of the islands, and chasing the sun from port to port.

Our Caribbean cruise aboard the Norwegian Viva took us on a whirlwind of color, history, and tropical charm.

In San Juan, we enjoyed music through the nights and strolled centuries-old streets by day. The Dominican Republic welcomed us with stories carved into stone and the rich pulse of Caribbean heritage. And in Aruba, we shopped, explored a butterfly sanctuary, and even learned the secrets of the island’s famous aloe — all under that endless island sun.

Part one of our journey was just the beginning… and we couldn’t wait to see what came next. Join us for Part 2 tomorrow!
