I would like to thank everyone that took the time to cast your vote for me as Best Cruise Blogger, however that was rough water to navigate with the other talented nominees. Not sure if I was disqualified or not because I along with another nominee were left off the list for 4th & 5th. Thank you for your support and it was awesome to be nominated in the first place.
