I was sad to leave but grateful for the unforgettable experiences. From the friendly crew to the stunning destinations, my first cruise exceeded all my expectations. If you’re considering a Carnival Cruise, I wholeheartedly recommend taking the plunge. It’s a fantastic way to explore new places while enjoying the luxury and excitement of life at sea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1729279698818-A43GYCUPJ6QXQBWTE9DX/8D55A588-BD37-405D-B7EE-1D88855D7C30.JPG Blog - Setting Sail: My First Cruise Experience with Carnival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1729279718983-N6EKP71RPI3FRLU36E9B/E7DDCE40-9468-482E-90B5-CA5A92E9D9F4.JPG Blog - Setting Sail: My First Cruise Experience with Carnival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1729279739829-URRDI69YDN9QAPFU0BNM/IMG_9865.jpg Blog - Setting Sail: My First Cruise Experience with Carnival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1729280494585-RF64MX5E2786B4FRTMXA/BCCFA2E3-342F-4112-AAEA-0415C4403478.JPEG Blog - Setting Sail: My First Cruise Experience with Carnival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1729281457933-N8ER89H1CZZ1OMIHP3EZ/IMG_9932.JPG Blog - Setting Sail: My First Cruise Experience with Carnival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/aa26af73-a6b8-4415-a783-2d285417c676/IMG_9527.jpg Blog - Setting Sail: My First Cruise Experience with Carnival - Embarkation Day: The Excitement Begins From the moment I arrived at the port, the excitement was palpable. The check-in process was quick and efficient, and I felt the thrill of anticipation as I boarded the ship. The vibrant decor and friendly staff welcomed me aboard, instantly putting me in vacation mode. I made my way to my cabin, which was cozy and much larger than I anticipated, a perfect retreat after long days of exploring. One thing I wish I knew prior to embarkation day was to leave your luggage with the porters! These friendly individuals asked if I needed help with my bag and I said no, however I didn’t realize that would mean I’d be stuck with my luggage until I got to my room (ha). So pro-tip, leave your luggage with the porters when you arrive at the terminal! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/51c0c9b2-211c-43c4-b806-7183870a1a7f/IMG_9542.jpg Blog - Setting Sail: My First Cruise Experience with Carnival - Evening Entertainment As the sun set, the ship transformed into a hub of entertainment. I caught a couple spectacular shows in the main theater that featured Love and Marriage, and my personal favourite Family Feud! Pay attention to the tryout day on the Carnival Hub App - I missed it but would have liked to audition! The nightlife didn’t stop there though; one of the Comedy Clubs transformed into a night club until the early hours of the morning for those who love to dance the night away. They also had a few fun theme nights including the Hot White Party and 80’s Rock n Roll. Don’t forget to pack your outfits for the theme nights! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1729279111680-JD5X7T2IHD8X0W7QY34Z/unsplash-image-7uwbhGSH5Fg.jpg Blog - Setting Sail: My First Cruise Experience with Carnival - Make it stand out dddd https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/2b60922d-7b1c-4ddb-b310-d26b9d9c9c31/IMG_9605.jpg Blog - Setting Sail: My First Cruise Experience with Carnival - Dining Delights One of the highlights of my cruise was the dining experience. With a variety of restaurants, I was never at a loss for delicious food. From the elegant dining room where I enjoyed a multi-course meal to the casual lido deck buffet, each meal was a treat. The standout? Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse —hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at! It is a speciality restaurant, so not included in your package but was 110% worth it. A close second was the Sea Day Brunch, a brunch exclusive to sea days. Try the salmon benny, you will not be disappointed. I was worried the food in general might be too repetitive, but honestly I didn’t even get a chance to eat at every single spot. There’s just so many options! https://www.bohemetravel.ca/blog/why-use-a-travel-advisor monthly 0.5 2024-10-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/3fea941c-72de-4b45-83f9-858771319cfe/travel-agents-near-me.jpg Blog - Why Use a Travel Advisor? - Pay the same, or less, than booking online A common misconception when booking travel is that you’ll pay more by booking through a travel advisor. That is just not true! Hotels, tour operators, and cruse lines all include commission in the prices you see online. So if you book online, the company keeps the cost of what they would have paid a travel advisor. Which means for you, you are paying the exact same when working with an advisor, yet getting customer service and a subject matter expert. Often you may even pay less since travel advisors have many resources at their fingertips including relationships with suppliers (hotels, tour operators and cruise lines), different booking engines and advisor only promotions. It’s basically a win-win for you and the travel advisor, when you book your trip with an advisor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/3ebc173f-1f27-4268-a2e9-14554ce46c5c/image-asset-2.jpeg Blog - Why Use a Travel Advisor? - Receive added perks or benefits If you love to be surprised when you check-in to your hotel with a bottle of champagne, or perhaps you love a good airline upgrade, advisors can make this happen for you. Now this isn’t a guaranteed, but travel advisors have close relationships with supplier reps in their region (supplier meaning hotel, cruise line, tour operator etc). They know these individuals by name, can email them at anytime, and they are another person dedicated to ensuring your travel experience is a 10/10. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/7f476455-42bf-4b60-83a2-5a734dd794fd/BohemeTravelBrandSession%E2%80%94WildHeartsCreative%E2%80%94September2024-010.jpg Blog - Why Use a Travel Advisor? - Make it stand out dddd https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/48535375-6d09-482d-9d97-ae58227958f7/travelagentvacation.jpg Blog - Why Use a Travel Advisor? - Have a savvy industry professional in your corner Travel advisors have a pulse on the industry. They live and breathe it daily, and are constantly learning about the newest destination hotspots or emerging ways to travel. Upcoming strike with an airline? Your advisor will know about it. Plus they dedicate a lot of time to upgrade their skills. Most travel brands will have extensive travel advisor training available, and there are many conferences and trade shows, on top of speciality training so advisors can become experts on a niche (think destination weddings for one). https://www.bohemetravel.ca/blog/beach-resorts-to-book-in-2025 monthly 0.5 2024-10-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1723752531269-5LZHL48KRIX5CKJTJML8/unsplash-image-I6eRuU6fvBE.jpg Blog - 3 Beach Resorts I Can’t Wait to Book for Destination Weddings in 2025 - Make it stand out dddd https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/886c1c54-3bbf-469f-8725-bb6773e7c0a8/CostaRica.jpg Blog - 3 Beach Resorts I Can’t Wait to Book for Destination Weddings in 2025 - Dreams Las Mareas, Costa Rica Nestled in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica you’ll find Dreams Las Mareas Resort & Spa. Picture a sandy beachfront ceremony surrounded by lush tropical jungle and all of your most important people. I love Dreams Las Mareas and Costa Rica for many reasons, but number one has to be the sheer amount of activities to enjoy on the resort and off before and after the wedding. Not to mention Dreams is a family friendly all-inclusive so you can include all of the littles in your life on your special day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/5f2d0138-bcbb-4d6f-9f90-3d88717e01f6/Sanctuarycap.jpg Blog - 3 Beach Resorts I Can’t Wait to Book for Destination Weddings in 2025 - Sanctuary Cap Cana, Punta Cana Sanctuary Cap Cana is an adults-only romantic hideaway in the Cap Cana region of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. They feature a world-class spa, amazing dining, and rooms featuring architecture fit for kings and queens. I absolutely love all the stone details throughout the property. It makes me feel like I’m in an old coastal town in Europe (or a princess in the medieval times, ha). Weddings here are breathtaking and I’d absolutely recommend this spot for an intimate elopement as well. Sidebar: Before booking our trip to Maui this fall, I was actually meant to visit this resort. So with the amount of research I did on this property and the surrounding area, I feel like I’ve already been there and would be SO excited to send clients here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/46ebf6ba-7aa4-45d5-b112-bfc9e14fd94f/Margaritaville.jpg Blog - 3 Beach Resorts I Can’t Wait to Book for Destination Weddings in 2025 - Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera, Mexico First up, Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Cancun! Perfect for the laid-back couple who doesn’t want to skimp on any luxury. This family-friendly luxury resort is a convenient 20 minute journey from the Cancun airport. Combine that with direct flights from many Canadian gateways makes for an ideal beach destination for those who don’t want to travel too far. What I love most about this resort, apart from the stunning ocean views, is its beach cottage theme rooms and boutique feel with the limited 148 rooms. https://www.bohemetravel.ca/home daily 1.0 2024-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/d1ec185b-1ceb-481f-aabc-16615f6b7753/47440C15-7038-4C4C-A473-5AA0FD3007AB.JPEG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/90d213f9-ac0e-4455-8b0c-7ed56b365b90/BohemeTravelBrandSession%E2%80%94WildHeartsCreative%E2%80%94September2024-076.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/8126b540-8226-4675-b9ed-669655116b5d/BohemeTravelBrandSession%E2%80%94WildHeartsCreative%E2%80%94September2024-062.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/f5cae246-5f6c-49a9-b3c3-e0d7b9fb297f/BohemeTravelBrandSession%E2%80%94WildHeartsCreative%E2%80%94September2024-060.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/5e586a14-202d-4172-bbf8-63e0b26c7c40/_.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/ff1bfa16-91fc-4fc7-8d99-26797d0b193a/f98db0657cb8be8532bf1bdbd52a2a30.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/4a48bb2d-3bfa-45ea-aaf6-98ce9eff84bd/_+%282%29.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1727293953202-PMMNVP3C8IO7DE8AM82F/1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1727293953396-HVWJ5D7EG1VT36FEKZU3/2.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/d5abe16c-d34b-41d5-9947-07a488d1a10f/Copy+of+follow+me+on+the+gram.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1721161952250-UWOSXP8BZ2I4AY77KU2R/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65fb4adb2ee0272566e6323e/b87d2803-8c03-4ed3-8917-6e7a4ff9cddf/Group+15433.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65fb4adb2ee0272566e6323e/785f0d63-fd52-49a9-9276-05fe2464c62f/Group+15434.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65fb4adb2ee0272566e6323e/817f1dc7-f463-4201-8057-cd34cb040d02/Group+15431.png Home https://www.bohemetravel.ca/contact daily 0.75 2024-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/4ff0ceb8-33c9-478d-af12-f7d8cbbef0f3/27d622643d84a2317acb08e6ff4cb34c.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/f9c31d4f-93dc-4f24-8844-b32373a76470/59fcd16eb95adefa57cf792f14b370eb.jpg https://www.bohemetravel.ca/about daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/8c1e379a-c84f-4af3-bb71-08c00a3aed09/BohemeTravelBrandSession%E2%80%94WildHeartsCreative%E2%80%94September2024-010.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/b62a27f7-01e1-4efd-be3e-3d6ebe4e2327/E8BBD504-0FC3-4CC8-BBA6-CA259552B63D.JPEG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/25c0aebc-5efb-43b5-ba6e-c2d40b29a53e/A0DCE141-2CCC-427F-B75A-31C0CEE26D6C.JPEG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1721682792715-AE4SBIWWLXO3ZM5KFBJD/THIS+OR+THAT+%281600+x+900+px%29+%282%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1722363234653-ERM13R362EHKXJL4YDUS/2.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1722363235757-YA3L1J43EOY6C639DGPW/3.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1722362985748-L8HRL22FNB43S1S6EP97/4.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669693afeab5a732e2ac1274/1722363234739-KHA5YD52J17RGCGDO44F/5.png About
