Our first cruise

Home / Chapters / Our Travels/ Our first cruise

After two years of supplying Disney with their video packaging and banking the commission, we decided it was time to upgrade our travel. So, we set sail in style on the luxurious Sitmar cruise line aboard the Fairsea. Departing from San Pedro, our journey would take us to the sun-soaked shores of Acapulco. This wasn’t just any cruise—it was a floating paradise of elegance, fine dining, and unforgettable ports of call. From dressing to the nines for glamorous dinners to indulging in world-class cuisine, every moment felt like a scene from a classic Hollywood film. It was, in a word, epic.
