Expert Bio
Renee's expertise includes full knowledge of Walt Disney World which is her favorite destination. She has also cruised with Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruise Line and Holland America. She has also spent time in Scotland.
With Disney Cruise Line the magical experience of a Walt Disney World land vacation can certainly be found at sea! Disney goes the extra mile to offer lots of activities for families to do together such as nightly Broadway style shows, deck parties, movies, and out-of-the-ordinary fun like we had on our cruise: building vegetable race-cars! The kids can also have time of their own at Oceaneer’s Club or Oceaneer’s Lab, while Mom and Dad can enjoy the adults-only night clubs or dinner at the adults-only restaurant, Palo.
Royal Caribbean International is a great cruise line for people of all ages: families or couples. Their Voyager and Freedom-class ships are some of the most imaginative ships at sea with ice-skating rinks, rock-climbing walls, flow-riders, mini-golf courses and more! I was very impressed with the Royal Promenade, a long row of shops and restaurants that run right down the middle of the ship. I really enjoyed my promenade cabin- an inside cabin with a view! These cabins feature a bay window overlooking the Royal Promenade which is the best seat for viewing the parade!
Renee visited the Western Caribbean on her RCCL cruise with ports of call in Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and Royal Caribbean’s private beach- Labadee. Climbing the waterfalls at Dunn’s River in Jamaica is not to be missed!
Carnival is a wonderful cruise line for all ages. They have a great kids program, Camp Carnival, designed for kids aged 2 through 14 which offer fun activities like pizza parties, movies, scavenger hunts, dances and karaoke. Carnival has 22 floating resorts to choose from, visiting many exciting ports of call in nearly every area of the world! I had a great time seeing all of their nightly Broadway-style shows and sampling the midnight buffet!
Renee sailed to Key West during her CCL cruise and loved how beautiful and quaint it was! During her stop in Cozumel she took a shore excursion to see the Mayan ruins in Tulum and would highly recommend it.
Holland America has a fleet of elegant and spacious ships which offer 5-star service. Their ships are filled with fresh-cut flowers and original art-work. The service is wonderful, very attentive and friendly staff. The dining is superb. I loved their private island, Half Moon Cay.
Renee has visited Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland. Her favorite thing about Glasgow is the people. They are all so down-to-earth and friendly- very eager and willing to talk about their country, customs, etc. St. George’s square was the perfect place to sit and people watch or explore the numerous shops around the square. The train ride from Glasgow to Edinburgh showcases the beautiful, lush green countryside. As the train pulls into Edinburgh, you can look up and see Edinburgh Castle perched upon Castle Rock, an ancient volcanic mound. I visited Edinburgh Castle, which features the Scottish Crown Jewels, and stayed at one of the most luxurious and magnificent hotels in Edinburgh, The Balmoral. The architecture of Edinburgh is beautiful, dating back to the 12th century in the Old Town section of the city. Lots of shopping, restaurants and theatre, and tourist attractions make Edinburgh an exciting place to visit.
My Recent Trips
My favorite destination by far is Walt Disney World. I have visited Disney World numerous times, both with and without children and have found that there are many activities, shows, and dining experiences which can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. I have stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort, Port Orleans French Quarter, Port Orleans Riverside and have visited many of the other Disney Resorts. I’ve also experienced many of Disney’s dining options, including several Character Meals and would highly recommend having breakfast with Mickey Mouse or Pooh Bear as a great way to start your day!
My greatest piece of advice for visiting Disney World is plan ahead! In a theme park which encompasses 47 square miles, I feel that planning your days is essential to seeing and doing all that you wish to during your vacation. I love to help people plan their Disney itineraries and make the very most of their time in “the World”!
