We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the massive ship and the upgrade to a mini-suite was …

We opted for the …

Norwegian Cruise Lines recently expanded their American branch aptly called Norwegian Cruise Line America with exclusive service to the Hawaiian islands. The one thing I’ve learned about any “exclusive service” is that lack of competition doesn’t breed a great product.
One of three different ships — the Pride of Aloha …

My first cruise was with Silversea Silver Wind. This is a very beautiful cruise and a large one at that. …

Being on Bergen Line Nordkapp Cruise to me is truly wonderful. I love everything about the sceneries, the good food and everything else that the cruise has to offer. The only bad thing is the price tag, but then every good thing comes with a price, right?
Me …

During my stay in Hong Kong, I have been on the ‘Star Ferry’ a couple of times to get from Tsim Sha Tsui across to Central. The fare was pretty cheap, about $2.2 HK which is… practically $0.25 USD if not less. It’s so cheap because it runs every …

Regal Empress is a cruise that I have been with my aunt and her family before. The price of this cruise was very expensive and I must say that it doesn’t match; value and money. Here is my review.
We went some time around June 2000 …

For a really unique evening out, I would recommend dinner and river tour on a historic paddlewheeler riverboat up the Fraser River from New Westminster to Fort Langley, BC. The food is very good, and you can actually learn a lot about the history of the river and the fur …

Recently I experienced a P+O cruise out of Sydney. It was a 10 day cruise, and I hoped I was going to enjoy myself seeing that P+O had had their fare share of bad press.

The Caribbean has been a constant favorite of mine for cruising. I just love the wide stretch of the archipelago and the surrounding islands when you pass by is something worthy of anticipating. I just rush outside and gaze at the shores of those places the ship will pass …

I will say up front that I had no yen to go on a cruise. I am not entirely oblivious to my own shortcomings, and claustrophobia is one of them, so I was at best dubious about the prospect of spending a week …

At a total cost to the equivalent of US$1466.00, this cruise is something I would never actually afford myself, especially not on a regular basis, which is why it’ll be something I’ll remember for as long as I live as it was given to me as a courtesy gift …

There is this particular cruise that I have been to which covers some part of Europe. The cruise is called M.S. Finnmarken, a very unique name as far as I’m concerned. I was with my whole family and we wanted to head to Norway, but preferring the …
