Valentines weekend in Cancun
Posted by: blissholidays on: February 2, 2010
Our next door nieghbours will be going to Cancun to celebarte Valentines Day, isnt that awesome? They will be leaving tomorrow and all we hope is that the flights are not cancelled! They told us they had been planning this trip for a while and that both of them were very excited. They will be staying at the Park Royal Cancun, one of my favourite hotels.
They have only been married for a year and have no children yet so they are really looking forward to some alone time. They booked the hotel room with the jacuzzy and the kitchenette so they can prepare nice meals, mexican style. On Valentines Day they want to place candles around the jacuzzy and admire the beach and enjoy the weather. You should all know that down here in Virginia the weather is so cold and we are expecting the second snow storm sometime today so you can imagine how much our neighbours are looking forward to getting to Mexico.
While in Cancun our neighbours want to visit Xel-ha, Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen and Chichen-Itza. My wife and I told them a bit about these places and they seemed very interested. They will stay in Cancun for a week and then they will fly to Puerto Vallarta, our favourite place in Mexico.
I think they will have a great Valentines weekend, there are many things to do in Cancun and they really know how to party in Mexico. Our neighbours want to try some tequila; we advised them to drink only a little and not like a shot but to drink it slowly, we found that was the best way.
Valentines Day Cruise trip
Posted by: blissholidays on: February 1, 2010
Most of the women in the US are very excited as Valentines Day weekend is approaching and they are quite excited as to find out what nice surprises their men will have for them. Some of them will start celebrating on Friday some others on Saturday and then Sunday which happens to be February the 14th. I bet many will want to take their loved ones to have a nice lunch or dinner which is more romantic. Some people will have family gatherings or simply will stay home with their loved ones and cook them a nice private dinner.
There has been a good increase in sales of certain items such as flowers, cards, chocolates, lingerie, sex toys, cars, jewellery, mens clothing and womes clothing. Here in Virginia we are actually getting ready for a second snow storm and really dont know how bad things will get but are hoping that is not much worst in order to be able to enjoy our Valentines weekend. We have been buried in our houses and have worked a lot on the outside in order to get rid of the snow. You should see our houses and streets, it is unbelivable!!!
Well, for the ones staying at home, this weekend will be a nice idea to get the fire places ready in order to enjoy a romantic moment with our loved ones. What I had planned to do was to take my wife to a 2 day cruise in order to celelbrate Valentines, I hope we can get to New York in order to board the cruise, I really have my fingers crossed! My wife us thinking of having dinner somewhere, she doesnt know that I have booked the cruise yet. I was thinking of driving her to New York on Friday and telling her that we were invited by her brother for the weekend, I will go a´head and tell her so anyway so she gets ready, I need to call my brother in law and let him know too..
Take her to the moon!
Posted by: blissholidays on: January 29, 2010
If I could, I would. I love my wife so much that if I could take her to the moon I would! She is the most precious thing in my life! We met 20 years ago and I still feel the same as the first time we saw each other. Yes, we have had our differences but we have worked them out and here I am so much in love with her.
I also love my family; my teenagers, they are fantastic kids, couldnt have asked for anything better. So, I have the information about the 2 night cruise and I will go ahead and book it. My wife will enjoy it so much, I am sure of that. I think this Valentines will be a very special day for both of us.
We have also decided on which ship we will book for the children; we will book the Royal Caribbean. It has so many nice amenities for children, especially water amenities! Our kids love being active and taking the sun so we decided that Royal Caribbean was the best option for our Easter Holiday.
Well, it seems that this year our land holidays will have to wait. It is good to change from time to time. I am so glad that I thought about that 2 day cruise for Valentines Day. I better call them now and book, I wouldnt like any surprises.
I am so excited about our holidays and also about Valentines Day as I know my wife will be the happiest woman on earth. I can just see her wanting a candle light dinner and then a walk on deck, some dancing or champagne in the suite. It will be the best V Day ever!
2 night romantic cruise
Posted by: blissholidays on: January 29, 2010
I am so into organizing my family Easter vacation that I almost forgot that V. Day is almost here. This is one of the many days I can forget! My wife is a romantic so Valentines Day means a lot to her. I was just thinking that it would have been impossible for me to forget as there are so many shops out there with masived red hearts on their windows announcing V Day. Still, I need to think what we are to do on that day.
I honestly think that Valentines Day should be every day but it doesnt really matter what I think, my wife loves flowers and nice dinners on this day. I think I will go ahead and book a table at her favourite Italian Restaurant where we were not able to dine last year as I tied to book a table and it was too late. Right now, I am booking 13 days in advance so they better have one for me!
I was just thinking that you can take a cruise for 2 nights!!!! This would be awesome!!!!! I live close to New York and I know cruises organize 2 night sailing for special ocassions. This would really be a surprise for her!!!! We do more or less the same every year so why not change this year and take her to a romantic 2 night cruise!!!
I need to contact my friend; he will give me the details as he took his wife last year and they had a blast! My wife will never imagine that I am also organizing a cruise for the 2 of us. What a great option and idea!!
Cruises for kids 4

Well, the more we find out about the magic world of cruising for kids the more excited we get as they are going to love it. We can just see them getting up extra early in order to enjoy all the amenities and activities these ships have to offer. We will keep this as a secret and just surprise them one day before we leave. In the meantime, they have to concentrate in school and their sport activities.
So, we have read about Carnival Cruise Lines, Disney, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean. We still have some more info to read and then we shall decide. All these ships sound very good but there are ships that offer more amenities for children than others. We also have to check the price and the points we will be using with Royal Holiday. To be honest, the price is not an issue as the only thing I think about is my teens having fun. These holiday is all about them and my wife and I are so happy planning the whole surprise for them.
Princess: the Princess Cruise Line offers supervised childrens programs for kids 3 to 17. Some of the activities to be enjoyed are: T-shirt coloring, disco nights, games, pajama parties, talent show and scavenger hunts. Pre-teens are treated to some of the same fun plus kids dinners, pizza and ice cream parties, and the Jr Chef at Sea program which aims to teach them a thing or two about cooking. Teens can hang out with their own peers at teen only deck parties, take hip hop dance classes and DJ workshops. They are also treated to hut tub parties, mocktail socials, dance parties and late night movies. Teen areas include video games and internet access on some ships.

We just called Royal Holiday and they will be able to book our cruise for this next coming Easter vacation. That made us really happy, the telephone rep told us that the earlier we booked the better as Easter is prime season and cruises get fully booked really quick. She also advised that Easter was a very popular holiday for children and that cruise bookings were already coming in.
We have decided that we will take a cruise for our Easter Holidays, right now we are just reading and finding out which the best option will be for our family. We also need to book the air tickets and check our passports. My wife is very excited, she really cant wait to see the childrens faces when we board the ship.
Royal Caribbean International: Royal Caribbean Freedom family of ships seems to be the best option for kids. The have many activities such as their H2O zone water park, flow rider surf simulator, full size boxing ring, ice rink, massive rock wall and presidential family suites that sleeps up to 14. They also offer a supervised Adventure Ocean program for children 3 to 17 with day time hours for the younger ones and evening hours for older kids.
Teens have their own nightclub and hang out area while yourget kids have lots of educational activities from science projects to pottery making and books. There are also family activities like scavenger hunts and talent shows where all the family can have a good time together.
There are also plenty of activities for adults and a nice chance to relax and enjoy the peaceful trip.
Cruises for kids
Posted by: blissholidays on: January 27, 2010
We have never taken the kids to a cruise holiday and we are thinking that this idea might really make them happy. They have seen ships and we have explained that people have fun in them while visiting many holiday resorts but they cant really picture the world of wonder inside this big vessels.
If they only knew the amount of fun and activities they can enjoy in these ships perhaps they wouldnt believe us. So, we are thinking that maybe this would be a really nice option for them. We have been looking at various cruise lines and finding out what they have to offer, we are amazed at the amount of options and would like to share them with you in case you like our idea and your kids are first timers.
Disney; these ships were designed with families in mind. There are family areas where children and parents can dance, watch a movie or swim with the kids. There are many activities just for children. For the little ones there is a pirate-themed play area and kiddie focused activities; treasure hunt, dancing lessons with Snow White and so on. For teens, there is a science lab and more activities. At night, the ships turns into an adult mode where they can dance, enjoy time at the piano bar or enjoy the sports club.
Norwegian; you will find an array of different types of accommodation, for example a 3 bedroom luxury roof top called garden villas, butler included and interconnecting, expandable family suites. They manage a Kids Crew program which is available to kids 2 and older. These program includes many activities like storytelling and developmental activities for toddlers and pre-schoolers. For older kids they offer many activities too, some of them are: pizza parties, lots of games, sports activities and movies.
Cancun is full of fun for kids!
Posted by: blissholidays on: January 26, 2010
Our kids are very much looking forward to our Easter Holiday and so are we. You might think it is too early to start planning it but you should go through trying to make a booking a month in advance, it is the worst experience ever. You might get to go somewhere but you wont get what you had in mind. We have learnt through the years that booking our holidays in advance is the best thing; we can relax once we have our reservations and look forward to a great holiday.
Right now we are hesitating whether to book a land vacation or a sea holiday. Both sound very attractive! Our kids love Cancun. If you really think about it, what kids really need for a great holiday is mainly the beach, the sun, a swimming pool, lots of drinks and food and of course, Mom and Dad watching them have fun. They also love taking pictures, enjoying the ocean, playing with the waves, swimming in the ocean with Mom or Dad or both. They also enjoy meetin other children and playing in the swimming pool.
When we travel to Cancun we love to stay at the Park Royal Cancun; they have the best all inclusive, the best entertainment and my kids love the resort, they feel at home every time we go there. They have had many good times in Cancun, they love going to the piramyds and listening to the story of who built them and how. They also love Xcaret, swimming in the river, snorkeling and watching the animals. Cancun is a great place for kids and we love it too.
Where to go next?
Posted by: blissholidays on: January 26, 2010
So, me and my family are thinking of our next holiday. We have 2 teen agers and we really want them to have fun. Where shall we go?? That is the big question right now. We love our Easter holidays, that is a real family holiday for us. The children take a break from school, the wives take a break from the day to day chores and we, the men, take a well deserved break from everything else.
We need to plan this holidays really well as next year we wont be able to travel at all as my wife will be on a medical treatment and we wont be able to travel to far away places. Yes, I know it will be difficult that is why we have to make the best out of this years holidays. In a way we are not rushing about our holidays as we have Royal Holiday and with them we can plan and do things whenever and however we want, but we want to make this holiday time special.
Cruises seem to be the nicest option we can think about right now, we are really concentrating on the children, our teen agers! We really want them to have a memorable holiday and for my wife to enjoy and be happy.
We could also think about going to Orlando or Mexico where the teens have had a really good time as far as we remember. Their favourite place in Mexico is Cozumel and Cancun. They love the history and culture of those places. They also love the food and the people. They adore the hotels: the Park Royal Cancun and the Park Royal Cozumel.
