What an adventure! I took a tale on the bottomless blue to Cozumel, Mexico with Royal Caribbean and The Curvy Fashionista!
Those who know me, know how crazy this is! If you had asked me a year ago would I ever take a cruise, my answer would be ‘no way!’ No way would you ever fine me in the middle of the ocean. But my, how times have changed.

Luckily, two of my closest friends came with me, so the idea of being trapped in the middle of the ocean became a little less daunting.
We flew from Philadelphia airport to Tampa, Florida where the cruise docked out from. When I tell you the ship was huge, it was massive. Stepping aboard the Brilliance of the Seas was absolutely amazing — with the music, the lights, champagne, and everything else they had going on, it truly felt like a 5-star hotel.
