Brandcation 2014: #SeasTheDay with Royal Caribbean

I’m so excited to announce that in just a few weeks, I’ll be sailing off with 39 other bloggers on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship to #SeasTheDay for Brandcation 2014! Last year, I headed to Destin, Florida, for my first Brandcation. It was so much fun, and I just know that this year will be even better.

I’ve never been on a cruise before. I’m actually leaving next week on my first cruise (more on that later), and I’ll head out again for Brandcation just a few weeks after that. I’m so excited to check out all that the Liberty of the Seas has to offer!
