  • Did You Hate Your First Cruise? Maybe You Just Picked the Wrong One

    Up until recently, I’ve been somewhat skeptical of anyone who told me they went on a cruise once and hated it. The crowds. The lines. The noise. My response was, “you must not understand how to cruise.” After all, I’ve been on over a dozen cruises and, sure, there are… Read more

    Ask this in a cruise Facebook group, and you will get a LOT of strong opinions. My opinion is that, if you will get enjoyment out of your cruise massage, then you absolutely should get one. I’m a sucker for a spa day. But I rarely have the time, energy,… Read more

  • Here’s What It’s Like to Spend the Night on a Haunted Ship

    The last time I sailed from San Pedro, I got in a day early to spend the night at The Queen Mary. After a less-than-ideal travel day (it was during the government shutdown), I FINALLY got checked in around 5:00 PM.  At first, I was really frustrated that I lost… Read more

  • Your Guide to Cruising Solo on the Quantum of the Seas

    I recently came back from a solo trip on board Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas. This cruise ship has dedicated solo cabins, so I thought it would be worth trying to see how the experience differs from other ships that don’t specifically cater to solo travelers. I’ll start by… Read more
