Jenni joins us this week to discuss her family’s first time sailing the Disney Magic to the Southern Caribbean. This was a 7 night sailing out of Puerto Rico, with stops in Antigua, St. Lucia, Aruba, and Bonaire. These are ports which are on many cruisers bucket list, so we spend the majority of the show talking about the experiences they had in each of them. But before that, we touch on planning for a cruise like this with a younger child, how they got to and from Puerto Rico, and of course all the fun they had onboard the Magic. So if you’re ready to head out for ports unknown, pack those bags, grab your suntan lotion, and don’t forget your best sunglasses, we’re headed out to explore the Southern Caribbean aboard the beautiful Disney Magic.
