A little throwback music video to a very special family cruise! Back in 2013, our entire family set sail together aboard the Carnival Freedom to celebrate Patty’s parents, Raquel and Santiago, and their incredible 50th wedding anniversary. Nearly 100 friends and family members joined us for an unforgettable cruise filled with love, laughter, memories, and plenty of celebrating. This trip was about so much more than just a cruise. It was a celebration of two amazing people who showed us what a life filled with love, faith, family, and travel can look like. Sadly, both Raquel and Santiago are no longer with us today, but their memories and the love for cruising and travel is something Patty and I carry with us today, and something that has become a part of our entire family. Looking back at this video reminds us why we love cruising and traveling so much. It’s not just about the places you visit or the ships you sail on—it’s about who you experience those moments with and the memories you create together. We hope you enjoy this little throwback to one of our favorite family adventures and a very special celebration we’ll always hold close to our hearts. ❤️ ⚓ Looking to book your next Cruise?
