From amazing key lime pie to a hat in Freeport, this cruise had it all! We're still over-collecting T-shirts though. While at sea, I finished the initial draft of my Civil War book, based on a relative's diaries. We also enjoyed Disney Springs and exclusive Club 33 access with our friend Jay. Thanks for the TikTok gifts and Facebook love!
