Cruises
My wife and I love to cruise! We also like to share our cruise experiences with friends, family and other travelers. In this category, you will find posts about the various cruises we've been on in recent years. Cruises that traveled to a variety of destinations around the world.
To date we've cruised to the following destinations:
- Alaska cruise
- Hawaii cruise
- Eastern Caribbean cruise
- Western Caribbean cruise
- Southern Caribbean cruise
- Mexico cruise
Next on the list:
- Mediterranean cruise
- South Pacific cruise
What we love about cruising is the simplicity and comfort they provide. No worries, no hassles, no getting up by 6 am for the tour bus. Just pure vacation bliss.
You can go ashore, or grab a lounger and work on your tan. No pressure. There's always something to eat no matter when you get hungry. Indulge in a scrumptious meal in one of the many formal dining rooms, or a quick bit at the abundant buffet.
There's always something to do onboard with countless activities to choose from. Head to the spa for a relaxing massage, catch a movie in your stateroom or on the big screen, work out at the gym, or take relaxing a stroll on the promenade.
At night, things heat up with non-stop events, shows, activities and of course shopping. There are boutiques for every taste and need.
For us, it's a no-brainer vacation experience. we hope you enjoy reading about our cruise vacations, and our other destinations.
Happy Travels!
