I searched and searched for a cruise that will provide new and interesting destinations to visit combined with free time on the ship to enjoy the many amenities the cruise offers. I found it with Carnival Cruise lines! Add to that a pre-cruise night in New Orleans in the French Quarter and you have a perfect winter getaway. Our three ports of call will be the Isla Roatan in Honduras; Belize; and Cozumel. I’m particularly excited about the Honduras and Belize ports. It all adds up to a great time with your fellow Daughters of the Nile friends. I hope you’ll join me for a tropical getaway next March. There are limited balcony cabins; make your reservations early to book your choice of cabin.
