My wife Karen and I find that cruising is our favorite way to travel. We have met many people and enjoyed their company during the cruise. The food on-board has been delicious and there are many restaurant choices to choose from if we did not eat in the main dining room. The crew of each ship was friendly, helpful and treat you like royalty. The staff members go out of their way to make your cruise experience absolutely wonderful.
We enjoyed the show productions. They were just like seeing a production at any theater. We also once in a while stopped in at the casinos on the ship. There are many on-board activities which you can do or sometimes we would just relax by the pool. In addition to the many activities available we love to get off the ship at each port and do some sight seeing or shopping.
In 2005, we took a Southern Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean International, Serenade of the Seas. Our ship itinerary: St. Thomas, St. Martin, Antigua, St Lucia and Barbados.
RCI's Serenade of the Seas
In 2002, we sailed on Carnival Cruise Line on the Imagination. Ports of Call: Belize and Key West.
In 1998, on Royal Caribbean International, we took an 11-day Mexican Riviera cruise on the Legend of the Seas. We visited: Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, Manzanillo, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta and Ixtapa/Zihuatenjo.
In 1978, my wife and I cruised on Premier Cruise Line, (no longer in business) on a 4-day Bahamas cruise, we stopped in Nassau and Freeport Bahamas.
No matter what cruise itinerary you choose, Alaska, Hawaii, Caribbean, Europe, Mediterranean or even a world cruise the options and itineraries are outstanding. My wife and I especially enjoy the Caribbean because of the beautiful aqua color and the clearness of the water and because of the nice people we have met on the ships.
If you are interested in cruising whether you are a first time cruiser, have cruised in the past or have certain cruise destinations you would like to visit or you just want to have a ton of fun on a beautiful cruise ship please contact me.
