Jack, Jill, John and Jane

It was the start of summer when Jack and Jill with their two kids, John and Jane, set off on their long-awaited cruise, excited for a week of well-deserved rest and relaxation.

 The sun was already high in the sky when the family arrived in Madeira, Portugal, embarking with joy aboard the opulent ship.

The moment they stepped through the gangway, they were transported to a world of fantasy and adventure. But first, a relaxing evening dining among the lively atmosphere of Madeira, Portugal. Exploring the surrounding area, the family discovered the local culture in its churches, museums, and galleries. As the sun set, they watched in awe the skyline blushed with warm, red hues, only making their excitement to be on the cruise even more intense.

The journey began the next day with a breezy cruise along the Atlantic Ocean. Jack and Jill made sure to get early up so they could enjoy a jacuzzi in the morning’s fresh air. John and Jane scrambled around exploring what the ship had to offer, from the daring rides along the Typhoon and Cyclone slides to the kid-friendly aqua park and FlowRider surfing simulator. There’s no denying that everyone enjoyed the time spent there.

The midday brought a generous lunch at the renowned Chops Grille restaurant, where the family savored the finest ingredients, like steaks and fresh-caught seafood. Later, the luminous presence of Izumi restaurant gave the family a good reason to stay a little longer, tasting its distinctive cuisine and intense flavors. To top off this first day, Jack and Jill organized a movie night for John and Jane under the stars.

The fruit-perfumed daytime of the second day made every family activity extra enjoyable. To get some alone time and recharge for the week, Jack and Jill enjoyed some coffee on deck chairs next to the solarium, watching the horizon while John and Jane plunged into the pools and slides. Back on board, a delicious dinner awaited them at Gioavanni's Table, the perfect place for a night of Italian flavors including some freshly made pasta prepared to perfection.

The following day was filled with the same exciting itinerary - soaking up the rays of the sun on the deck, exploring more of the ship amenities, and a serve of delicious meals for lunch and dinner. Jack knew that when the end of the week drew near, he and his family would never be the same.

This last day was known as the most eventful night of the cruise. As clouds painted the sky in orange and red tones, the family went out for a walk in Orlando, Florida. As Jack had always wanted to explore the shoreline of Port Canaveral, this seemed the perfect time to do so. There, the family watched as the launch of a rocket added an extra flair to the beach.

The following day, the family was already packing their suitcases while getting ready to dock in Fort Lauderdale. Jack and Jill had to admit they had never had a more exciting, fun-filled family vacation. Although they were sad to leave, they had families a lot of beautiful memories about this fabulous holiday that would last forever.
