I found the Irish Ferries.com site very …

In response to another reviewer about the British Columbia Ferries, I wanted to add the facts as I see them. The overall opinion of that reviewer is that the Ferry trip is “pleasant”. While I have found there to be many pleasurable aspects of the Ferry Service from Vancouver …

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 …

My husband and I ventured on our very first cruise in November 2007 aboard Princess Cruise Lines. Having never cruised before we were looking forward to being pampered. And pampered we were!

Last summer I took a 4-day cruise to the Bahamas on the Carnival Celebration, leaving from Jacksonville, FL. Since it was my first time taking a cruise, I was very excited-especially upon being told how many amenities there are on board (Oh the buffets!!!). At any …

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 …

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 …

Cruises and Ports of Call 2007, published by Frommer’s, is a tremendous resource for people starting to do the homework on scheduling a cruise in the United States or anywhere in the world. I bought it for a Christmas present last year and we have used it in …

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 …

A trip to the French Quarter in New Orleans isn’t complete without a dinner cruise aboard the Steamboat Natchez.

Varlack Ventures operates the ferry service between St. Thomas and St. John. Unfortunately, I can’t give them high ratings for anything, but they’re the main source of transportation between the two islands. They’re definitely the most affordable option among very few options, but their service is consistently …

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.
