Carnival’s newest and biggest ship – chock full of kids activities
Kudos to Carnival for what they have achieved for families on their new and largest ship, Vista, now sailing in the Mediterranean.
Off the beaten cruise tourism track on Italy’s Amalfi Coast

Second port call in Cuba – beautiful French-inspired Cienfuegos
If Cuba had a Paris, Lonely Planet Cuba says, Cienfuegos would be it as it’s arranged around a spectacular natural bay (there are charter sailboats in the harbor and I can only imagine a lot more once Americans discover this place).
