Summer Won't Wait
Fresh from an amazing cruise in Norway and Iceland myself, I'm happy to remind you of just how great the onboard entertainment is, regardless of where you cruise.

"I don't know, what do you want to do today?"
It's not too late to book your cruise for this summer, or you can plan ahead for a winter break, when you know you will be going stir crazy if you don't get someplace warm. You even have time to book a trip to celebrate next Cinco de Mayo in Mexico.
Each new ship they introduced should have given pause to consider how that stacks up against our pre-conceived notions as well as against competitors.
Galveston also appeals to California residents, because DFW Airport is in the middle of the country, whereas Miami/Ft. Lauderdale and Port Canaveral are on the far side.
So, if you find yourself treading water rather than metaphorically swimming toward your next great vacation, it's time to climb aboard a friendly ship and reach your travel goals the easy way.
So, if you want to get the best deal without the hassle, book early.
What will you do with your freedom?
Why not take a transatlantic or Caribbean cruise of your own to celebrate whatever you want to celebrate?
Early cruises on a mainstream line like NCL or Celebrity might feel more like Oceania or Azamara in terms of space, which is not a bad thing based on my experience.
Anticipating a future trip is part of the fun, and wouldn't it be nice to have a different subject to discuss?
Today, March 8, 2020, Celebrity Edge will sail under the command of the first American female cruise ship Captain, Kate McCue. She will be at the helm of the first cruise ship to ever embark with an all-female bridge and hotel officer team.
Why not book a cruise to the Caribbean or Mexican Riviera? It's good for what ails you!
We love this ship, including outstanding entertainment, stylish decor, tasty food and a welcoming crew!
On the West Coast, we also have 5-night cruises that stretch the paradigm by taking us all the way to Cabo.
If I don't know enough about you, then I can't possibly provide you with the best alternatives.
While Carnival Panorama may not be your grandmother's cup of tea --- although, it may be if Granny is as hip as hip hop --- young people love Carnival!
A mega-ship like Norwegian Joy has the Haven for families who expect and can afford the best and small inside rooms for those who just want a place to change clothes before heading on their next adventure, plus lots of other categories between those extremes.
You expect great family activities and entertainment, but did you know there are now Cloud 9 Verandas with special Spa access geared toward more sophisticated tastes on many Carnival ships, including Horizon?
Whether you choose an easy-to-plan cruise from close to home or the trip of a lifetime in Europe or some other distant destination, a cruise is the best way to go.
And wives, if you see this email, make sure you forward it to your husband. Just to be sure he isn't too blunt, make sure to personalize it with a subtle introduction like, "This is what I want as a Mother's Day gift."
Doing a bit of advance research before leaving home not only prepares you for your trip but in some ways stretches your vacation high. I'm always happy to share tips on things to do.
In keeping with Princess' usual high maintenance and update standards, Ruby Princess had been refurbished just two weeks before our cruise. With carpets replaced with contemporary designs, it felt very much like a new ship.
You could take Ruby to Cabo San Lucas at the peak of whale migration season and miss only a few days of work.
While it's exciting to go new places, you can easily have a lot of fun taking a cruise you've taken previously, because there is so much to do both on board and on shore, you can find totally new experiences.
Fun in the sun is the name of the game...
