Had the pleasure of visiting Aruba, Bonaire, Cartagena (Colombia), Panama, and Jamaica on an MSC cruise aboard the Poesia in December 2012. Amani and Malaika had a ball on the ship – the staff in the Kid’s Club were great. And a fringe benefit of a great Kid’s Club was Zawadi & I having plenty of R&R time to ourselves :-)

We snorkelled at Bonaire, toured the island of Aruba, ventured to the mud volcano El Totumo in Colombia, visited a native Indian village in Panama and had a “Dolphin Encounter” in Jamaica.

All in all it was a really enjoyable trip. So good in fact that we’re doing another MSC cruise this year!
