Holland America Line has suddenly become my favorite cruise line and I don't say that lightly. While we enjoyed sailing with them in the past, the new generation of Pinnacle Class ships combined with one of the best leaderships teams in the industry has transformed what was once considered "newly wed and nearly dead" into a vibrant and fun cruise line... while still maintaining it's heritage as one of the more traditionally styled cruise operators.

Half Moon Cay is one of the most beautiful private islands in the Bahamas and you can only get there when sailing with Holland America Line and Carnival cruises, so it will never be overcrowded like other Caribbean ports that you might have visited in the past. However, as nice as the white sand beaches and turquois waters are... there's actually more to enjoy here as well.

Although it's only 90 miles from Florida, Cuba had severe travel restrictions for more than 60 years and despite moves almost a decade ago to open things back up so that Americans could fully enjoy the diverse music, food, and drinks that this island is known for, it remains off-limits to Americans with United States passports.

Grand Cayman is a fabled island with a mystique of off-shore banking and as a playground for the rich and famous.

Visitors to the Cayman Islands usually focus on sites like "Hell" or "Stingray City" but last fall when I visited this amazing little island we did things a bit different.

Luckily we didn't miss our ship, but if we had - this would have been TOTALLY worth it!
