Our adventures continued with a 7-night sailing onboard Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas through the Norwegian Fjords. I’ll be honest…I saw the breathtaking beauty of the fjords on Bravo’s Below Deck Adventure series and immediately booked us on a cruise. The Norwegian Fjords weren’t ever on my bucket list of destinations to visit, butContinue reading “Cruising the Norwegian Fjords”

Stonehenge
On embarkation day, we needed to get from downtown London to Southampton to board our cruise. We opted to do a transfer tour that included a stop enroute at Stonehenge. Because…why not!?! It’s one of the seven wonders of the world and in 1986 became a world heritage site. A basic one way transfer fromContinue reading “Stonehenge”

That could be a good or a bad thing depending on what your expectations are. Virgin Voyages is not for everyone, and I don’t think theyContinue reading “Like a Virgin (Voyage, that is)”

Two new ships in 2 weeks? Why not!?! I was so excited to explore Royal Caribbean’s newest ship, Odyssey of the Seas, on a 2-night preview cruise last week. This ship is loaded with “WOW” and I was so impressed that I booked an 8 night sailing on her for March of 2022 to giveContinue reading “Royal Caribbean’s Odyssey of the Seas”
Covid’s Impact on Cruising
We just completed a 2 night “Simulation Sailing” onboard Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas from Port Canaveral stopping at Perfect Day at CocoCay. This was a requirement by the CDC as part of their Conditional Sailing Order that must be successfully completed prior to allowing paid passenger sailings to resume. Here’s what has changedContinue reading “Covid’s Impact on Cruising”
We’re Back to Bon Voyage!
After 18 months of waiting, cruising is finally returning to service. I was really starting to think this day would never come! Slowly, but surely, the cruise lines are setting sail, mostly on shorter itineraries at reduced capacity. We were lucky enough to be chosen to be among the first guests to sail from aContinue reading “We’re Back to Bon Voyage!”
