Our visit to Beaches Resort in Turks & Caicos

Jackie and I had the opportunity to visit the Beaches property in Providenciales, Turks & Caicos last week. We were so excited to visit a location that we had not visited before but we were wary of visiting a "family" focus resort. Since we don't have children, this would be something different.I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. Okay, maybe blown away. The property was absolutely beautiful! There are three (3) separate villages at this resort: Caribbean, French and Italian. The accommodations in all 3 were beautiful.

The service was outstanding, the food was excellent and the facilities were state of the art. Beaches are an all inclusive property so there is no tipping and all meals, snacks, alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Non motorized water sports are included. If you are a certified diver, and present your diver certification card, up to 2 dives per day are included! If you are not a certified diver, Resort Certification is available for a fee. The only other services not included are spa services, character breakfasts, laundry and dry cleaning, after hours babysitting, internet access and shopping.

There are age appropriate, supervised activities for infants through teens. The resort employs Certified Nannies. The little ones will enjoy Camp Sesame and visits by the characters from Sesame Street. Even I enjoyed the Sesame Street Parade! You could feel the excitement of the children in the air as they waited for the character parade. The looks on their little faces as the parade approached was priceless. The parade ends with a show on the open air stage. There is Pirate Island with a water park and ice cream shop and a kid sized swim up bar. For the older kids there is an XBox 360 Game Garage, Crayola Art Camp, Scratch DJ Academy, Beach Olympics, Karaoke, and more.

There are 8 pools,-5 with swim up bars, a water park with 2 waterslides and a surfrider, a lazy river, outdoor movies, snorkeling, windsurfing, hobie cats, kayaks and sea trykes. There is a 7,000 square foot Shopping Village in just the Italian Village! There are 16 separate dining options! Did I mention the resort sits on a 12 mile stretch of powder white sand beach?

I thoroughly enjoyed the water slides and lazy river. The swim up bars was great and it was a hoot to watch the kids order the "virgin" pina coladas and other frozen drinks. They all thought that they were extremely cool. A few of the parents were envisioning blenders of frozen banana and strawberry drinks in their futures.

There are also special programs available for groups. Packages include Family Reunions; Group, Weddings by Martha Stewart and Best Friends for Ever. The programs offer special rates and exclusive benefits.

We had a great time at this resort and would highly recommend this for a great girlfriend getaway, a family reunion, a family destination wedding or a great beach vacation. If you are looking for a perfect family beach getaway you can't go wrong with Beaches, Turks & Caicos.

The Difference between Cruise Lines

Which fleet is the best? What is the best ship? These are questions that cruisers ask, and they are almost impossible to answer since everyone’s tastes and priorities are so different. With that said, we can help you pick your ideal cruise vacation by explaining some of the main features of the major cruise lines. Here are nine of the top 20 fleets, alphabetically listed. Please keep in mind … cruise lines attempt to please a wide range of people and all provide some common amenities. However, with a little research, you should be able to narrow down your choices to a couple of cruise lines depending on your lifestyle, interests and budget.

Azamara Club Cruises

While they may only enlist two ships, their itineraries reach far across Europe, Asia and South America. You will find a country club atmosphere on these medium sized, ultra premium ships, in part due to the more casual dress policy and wood paneled lounges. You can expect exceptional cuisine and service, outstanding itineraries that include an overnight stay in a port on every cruise and upscale accommodations.

Carnival Cruise Lines
Not only are they the world’s largest cruise line, but they are also the most popular. Hallmarks of this fleet include the cruise industry’s most vibrant nightlife, above average food and large staterooms. If you love Las Vegas, these ships will certainly fit the bill. The entertainment is dazzling and the casino is lively throughout the day and night. Families also flock to the “Fun Ships” because of Camp Carnival’s supervised activities, the spiral waterslides and the other kids’ facilities. Best of all, the super low prices on Carnival make the fleet a big hit with families, singles, couples, groups … just about everyone!

Celebrity Cruises
Celebrity offers an upscale cruise experience with a focus on food and service. These award winning ships have a casual European atmosphere, with a great selection of modern art and contemporary design. You will find more newlyweds, couples celebrating anniversaries and families with older children on board. The fleet’s newest vessels offer plenty of balcony staterooms, gourmet restaurants, posh spas, glass blowing demonstrations and a real lawn for picnics, putting, croquet or bocce ball.

Disney
Discover the most magical family vacation every to sail the seas, on an enchanted 3-night getaway to the Bahamas, or a 7-night voyage to exotic Caribbean islands or the Mexican Riviera. On board, you’ll enjoy uniquely separate areas and activities for everyone. So kids, teens, and adults all feel like a Disney cruise is just for them! After all, it’s always a great time to take in the tropical wonders of a Disney cruise, including Disney’s own private island adventure, Castaway Cay.


Holland America Line
Here you will find a sophisticated style of cruising aboard medium sized ships with larger than average staterooms and a rich history of premium service. These classically designed ships cater to cruisers who like a more tranquil cruise experience with refined entertainment, fine art auctions and immersive enrichment classes. Holland America is a natural choice for many multi-generational families, travelers over the age of 55 and couples marking special occasions.

Norwegian Cruise Line
NCL is best known for “Freestyle Cruising,” which is a big hit for those seeking an unstructured seagoing vacation. You can eat whenever you want, with whomever you want. No dress code to follow in the main dining rooms. Small surcharges expand your options to seemingly countless specialty restaurants. Highlights on the newest ships include an ultra chic lounge with plush beds and bowling lanes, a lounge made of ice, Blue Man Group performances, Second City comedy shows and a Cirque du Soleil dinner theater. With all of this for some of the most affordable fares at sea, the industry’s youngest fleet is popular with families, singles and couples.

Oceania Cruises
While they say they are not a luxury cruise line, the experience certainly is close to it. The food is overseen by Jacques Pepin, and it is among the best in the cruise industry. The 640 passenger ships fill up quickly with loyal guests (many of them retired) and who enjoy single seating dining in four restaurants, very polished service and staterooms boasting down comforters, high thread European sheets and, if you are in a suite, personal butlers.

Princess Cruises
Princess has a loyal following of travelers who love the ships; dining program where you may choose assigned seating or dining whenever and with whomever you please. The fleet has come a very long way since earning fame on the 1970’s “Love Boat” TV show. Today, Princess’ ships feature contemporary design and stylish amenities alongside very good food, nice staterooms, friendly service and superior shore excursions. While there are families aboard every cruise, these floating resorts primarily attract couples of all ages.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Regent provides a true luxury cruise experience with large staterooms, superb dining, exceptional service, onboard experts and worldwide itineraries. Both ships host less than 700 guests, showcase Scandinavian décor, and offer extraordinary spas operated by Carita of Paris. Fares include opulent accommodations, roundtrip airfare, gratuities, all beverages and unforgettable shore excursions.

Royal Caribbean International
They are among the most innovative fleets in the industry, boasting the world’s largest cruise ships and arguably the most with a real “wow” factor. Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas each offer an unprecedented set of onboard experiences: 2 surfing wave pools, high diving shows at an outdoor amphitheater, scuba lessons in a pool, zip line rides, a boardwalk carousel, street performers, loft suites, and outdoor grass park with sidewalk cafes and much more. Previous ships in the fleet introduced the first rock climbing walls, ice skating rinks, mall sized promenades and other onboard thrills. Endless options for dining, accommodations and activities, plus amazing values make Royal Caribbean a favorite for families with kids, couples, singes, groups and cruisers of every kind.

Our Stay at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa

The "Grand Floridian" met & exceeded all our expectations. Upon arrival we were greeted by Laura of Concierge services, who graciously escorted us up to the Royal Palm Club to relax and get our itinerary that we had planned before arriving. We had planned to be staying in the Sugarloaf building only to be told by Laura that we had been upgrade to a Castle view that had a view of the lake/river and a beautiful view of the castle... Laura not only greeted us, but escorted us to our room to make sure our expectations were met.


When we open the door to our room it was total amazement. The view that we had was amazing, not to mention the smile on my wife’s face when she saw the castle through our patio door.


We stayed here to celebrate my wife’s birthday and our anniversary and were given a "Happy Birthday" button and a "Happy Anniversary button” to wear, which I do suggest wearing for every character & Disney employee would wish her a "Happy Birthday" and us “Happy Anniversary. It actually was fun for the first day or two, for I would also get free birthday desserts when I went out to eat on some Disney properties. The room was spacious, and nicely decorated with hidden characters everywhere, even on the wallpaper. It had a couch, flat-screen TV, full-size balcony with (2) wrought-iron chairs...which were comfy to sit on for watching the fireworks every night form our balcony. Every room at this hotel has a balcony....but the views vary with each room.


The monorail (located on the 2nd floor of the main bldg) was convenient, not waiting anymore than 5-minutes for one. The monorail makes exactly (5) stops only: "Grand Floridian Hotel", "Magic Kingdom", "Contemporary" Hotel, (ticket & transportation center), & "Polynesian". It’s just loops all day to those (5) stops. if you want to go to "Epcot", you have to get off at the (tickets & transportation center) and change to another monorail there to the "Epcot" monorail. If you want to go to "Hollywood Studios (formally MGM studios), "Downtown Disney", "Typhoon Lagoon", or "Animal Kingdom", you can only take the Disney Bus, for the monorail is not connected to those parks. The bus picks you up in the front of the "Grand Floridian" and runs every 15-20 minutes continuously through-out the day/night. All free, of course!


Getting back to the hotel itself....it is beautiful!! The pictures do not do it justice. As the saying goes you get what you pay for, and the "Grand Floridian" is the best Disney Property if you want the convenience of being on Disney grounds...which was perfect for us...for when it got too hot or if it rained, we were able to hop on the monorail or bus back to the hotel in a jiffy, and then back to the parks later in the evening, with little or no effort. So, if you want the convenience, then stay here. If that does not matter, and you want more bang for your buck, & don’t mind driving your car & sitting in traffic to get to the parks, then stay off grounds.


The room was quiet, clean, and very big! We never heard our neighbors on the other side. Around 9am, "mouse-keeping" would start cleaning the rooms but you never heard them. Every cast member was very nice/friendly, and wonderful, not to mention having the Royal Palm Club down the hall where you could start your day with Grand Beginnings at 6:30am, Mid Day delights at 11:30, Afternoon Tea at 2:30, twilight refreshers at 5:00 to ending your day with Grand Indulgence at 8:00 with cordials and desserts along with coffee, sodas, wine, beer, wonderful music playing all evening long and the friendly conversations we had with other guest.

We also had the chance to visit the Wedding Chapel while we were there, and I must say it is every girl’s fantasy dream wedding location. From the moment we walked in the main chapel area and seeing the “Castle” through the oval shaped window at the altar to the wonderful bride and groom areas that is set up it was an amazing site. There is also a wedding coordinator on site at Franck’s just outside of the wedding chapel.


I would not stay anywhere else when traveling to Disney World Resorts. In my opinion the Grand Floridian is “TOPS” and not only should be put on your vacation bucket list, but every bride should think of having their wedding there.

Family Cruising

Getting familiar with what cruise lines have to offer for kids

We as parents love to cruise with our kids, and for good reason. We can spend as much time together as we want. While we as parents take the opportunity to relax we can let our children loose in chaperoned programs that most cruise lines have to offer for kids of all ages.

The kids of all ages are no doubt enchanted by the elaborate programs offered onboard ship nowadays, from the children’s programs to the teens. It’s important that you know what ship has the right program to meets your family’s needs, as some programs are more comprehensive than others.

Some cruise lines particularly luxury or upper-premium companies don’t encourage children but will bring on counselors during summer, holidays and peak family times.

One rule of thumb is to find out how much time your family members want to spend together, “All families approach cruising in different ways,” some families members want to spend quality time together, while others want to spend time on their own meeting new friends.

It is very important that you book a ship that offers a wide range of activities that appeal to all age groups in your family.

Some families like to book suites or adjoining cabins, that’s why we suggest booking your cruise ahead of time to ensure you get the best possible cabin, especially during high peak seasons such as summer, spring break and around the holidays. The cruise may be available, but cabins with quads, adjacent cabins and suites may not be.

Over the next several weeks we will be spotlighting different cruise lines and their children’s programs and facilities offered.

This week’s spotlight:











Carnival Cruise Lines
With its fun twisting water slides and water parks on most of its ships, as well as facilities and programs for kids based on age.

Camp Carnival
It's all in fun...Camp Carnival includes a wide range of activities designed for children in three different age groups - Toddlers, Juniors, and Intermediates. All children are supervised by staff who have experience and/or education in child-care. You'll see your child's excitement grow as soon as they meet their counselor and get assigned to their group. And when it's time to eat kids get their very own menus, featuring all their favorites like hot dogs, chicken nuggets, pizza, macaroni & cheese, hamburgers and more.

Toddlers
The age-appropriate activities at Camp Carnival are sure to delight your 2-5 year-olds. The smaller children enjoy many of their fun events in the Camp Carnival headquarters. From finger painting to cartoon time, arts and crafts to puppet shows, your little ones will have a blast!
They also provide babysitting services in the evenings. So plan a "date night" or "quiet time" just for two. Toddlers do not have to be potty-trained in order to be part of Camp Carnival; parents simply need to provide the youth staff with diapers and toiletries for their child.

Juniors
When our 6-8 year-old guests enter the bright and lively world of Camp Carnival they'll enjoy fun-filled and exciting activities like Spin Art, dodge ball, volcano making and more. Your pint-size cuties will also participate in a large variety of themed activities and games - including prize bingo, water colors, jewelry making, foosball, air hockey, and much more.
Your kids will have so much fun, they won't even noticed they're being supervised. They'll think of our counselors as just big kids.

Intermediates
Your 9-11 year-olds will feel a flurry of excitement every time they step into Camp Carnival. Our young cruisers will play all day long - from dodge ball and pool parties to video games and scavenger hunts. They'll also be excited about the new friends they've made.
Parents can take advantage of our evening "After Hours" services from 10 p.m. till 12 a.m. After 12 a.m., juniors and intermediate will join the younger cruisers for our Slumber Party service until 3 a.m.

Circle “C”
The ultimate spot where children ages 12-14 can cruise, chill, and connect to others. Cool activities, awesome facilities and lots of great new friends to add to their text-mail lists. The activities (think games, dance parties, outdoor movies and more) are supervised and created just for them. The friendly and experienced staff at Circle "C" wants to give your teens the best vacation experience possible. All activities are coordinated by a Circle "C" Director and dedicated to keeping the activities fun for our young guests.

Club O2
Club 02 for ages 15-17 activities are designed to be cool and a little more relaxed. Teens can hang out with their friends and watch a movie, listen to the latest music, play video games or join karaoke jam sessions. We've even set up teen-only shore excursions so your young adults can enjoy the sites and sounds of our beautiful ports with their peers.

The fleet wide club was developed by the Coca-Cola Company and includes teen directors a 1000 to 1800 square –foot teens club a dance floor, DJ, sound and lighting system, and a large screen plasma TV. There’s even a “Coke-tail” lounge that offers Coca-Cola products and non-alcoholic specialty drinks for your teens to enjoy while hanging out with the new friends they meet onboard.
