2003-2006

Samu keeps talking about going to a Caribbean Cruise, slowly talking rest of us into going..

2006 January / February

We are looking up for a different ship lines to choose from, and of course checking out the different itinerarys to choose from

2006 February

We finally decided where we wanted to go - Or actually, we first chose to kind of ship we would like to cruise on. We ended up with Voyager Class ships from RCCL (Mostly because they have been built here in Finland). After that, it was up to the destination - We chose the 7 night Western Caribbean cruise, with Navigator of the Seas. We reserved our Cruise from Aimotravel through email.

2006 June 

Now that we had the cruise, it was about time to start planning the rest of the trip - how to get there! First, we had to decide how many days we want to spend on Florida. We ended up with 3 nights, 2 full days, which ended up being a way too short time to visit Florida!

First of all, we reserved our hotel. First we ended up reserving Best Western South Beach, but after reading many reviews from Tripadvisor, we decided to change our hotel to Fairfield Inn and Suites (Nowdays known as Best Western Atlantic Beach Resort), which seemed much better choice than the original Best Western South Beach. We ended up paying 199,50 € / person for 3 nights.

Few days after that, it was time to reserve the flights also - We already had the cruise and means to stay at Miami, Florida but we were still lacking the transportation to get there :-)

We ended up using the ebookers once again, and ended up choosing a Virgin Atlantic flights, which costed us €680 / person for Helsinki - London - Miami including return tickets.
