Feature Friday: Meet Marissa C.

Most people in the U.S. take cruises to either the Eastern or Western Caribbean, or to Alaska. Marissa and her family decided to go on a European cruise. Come find out what countries they stopped at, and what she thought about her trip!

Marissa and I go way back to my freshmen year of college. We met through swimming, as we were both on the swim team, and we hit it off immediately. We are similar in so many ways, we found it hilarious. After discovering the many ways, we concluded that we must have been separated at birth, and we even convinced someone that we were twins. One of the many things we share is our passion for travelling! Marissa has travelled to all sorts of places via car, plane, train, and boat. Her most recent trip was on a cruise. Come see what she has say!
