New Cruisers Tip #8: Docking vs. Tenders
Saturday, June 28th, 2008Because I didn’t make yesterday’s post an actual tip, I felt I should make up for it today by giving another tip for new cruisers. Today’s tip concerns the way your ship will stop at a port. There are basically two ways this can happen. You may have heard of the different methods, so I [...] Read more »
Carnival’s 45 Day Letters
Friday, June 27th, 2008I was thinking about making this a Tip for New Cruisers post, but I decided that since it is line-specific, I shouldn’t (as not all new cruisers are cruising with Carnival).
Anyway… For those of you who do sail Carnival, here’s a tip for you specifically. Maybe other cruise lines do this? Please inform me if [...] Read more »
New Cruisers Tip #7: Ship Size
Thursday, June 26th, 2008As a new cruiser, you might think all ships are about the same. That’s not the case though. Cruise ships come in many different sizes.

Excursions
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008One of the great things about cruising is that you get to visit several places in one visit, and you never have to change hotels, unpack more than once, or fly to each destination. You get to visit multiple places and stay in one stateroom and only unpack once. That’s the beauty of cruising. Best [...] Read more »
Quiet Spots
Saturday, June 21st, 2008Okay, I’m going to leave this entry pretty open-ended. Hopefully we can get at least a couple comments! The question is, does anyone have any secret quiet spots onboard cruise ships? Yes, cruises are all about the fun and activity, but sometimes you just want some quiet time.
