About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

This video highlights our 8-night cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas that traveled from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas and Bermuda. The video discusses the ease of cruising when living in The Villages Florida, as 5 cruise ports are within a 4 1/2 hour drive. The video details the COVID rules that were in place for our cruise and destinations. We provide details on the ship Mariner of the Seas to include dining, activities, and entertainment. Lastly highlights of the cruise ports visited. Charlie and Jennifer Pryde have lived in The Villages for two years and in Central Florida for sixteen years. Our main activities in The Villages are biking, fitness parks, pickle ball, platform tennis, golf and swimming. We love to travel throughout Florida, the United States and internationally. Our Youtube channel’s focus is on promoting a physically active lifestyle for mature adults, but we will also indulge ourselves in a good restaurant, bakery or watering hole that we find during our travels.
