To make this cruise even more memorable for us we have also booked a 15 day / 7 port Panama Canal cruise from Tuesday, February 6, 2024 to Wednesday, February 21, 2024. That cruise departs from Los Angles, California and arrives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where we will begin our second leg of our 29 day cruise adventure which is detailed on this website.
The information we are including on this website is garnered from cruising websites such as Cruise Critic, Cruzely, Tips for Travellers, Cruise Hive, Life Well Cruised, the Princess Cruise website, and watching countless hours of YouTube videos about cruising (such as Tips for Travelers, La Lido Loca, Don's Famiy Vacations, Life Well Cruised, Emma Cruises, etc.), plus personal observations we have encountered on our cruises and talking with other experienced cruisers. While we are hardly veteran cruisers, we do like to do our research and are happy to share what we have learned with our friends!
While a cruise may seem expensive, it offers us the opportunity to travel to many exotic ports, eat, be entertained, pampered, eat, relax or be active, eat, and enjoy times with each other. Did I mention we could also eat? It is truly a unique vacation experience!
What do we love about cruising?
Being at sea. For us, one of the best things of cruising are the sea days. The experience and pace of life with a series of sea days is amazing. You truly can unwind and relax, as it is so peaceful. You unwind and relax like you never do on land.
Get to see places that can be hard to see by land. Some of the smaller Caribbean islands and areas may be difficult to otherwise visit.
Region Taster. It is great to get a taste for a number of places in a region and then decide which island or area you may want to go back and spend time at and really explore. For example, it can be hard to decide which Caribbean island or area you want to commit to going to for 1 to 2 weeks. But if you go on a cruise you may see 5 or 6 islands or areas, explore for a day, and decide where you want to invest more time and money in the future.
People. Very friendly and a sense of community. People are more chatty and friendly as they a have a shared interest and focus – much more than on land based vacations.
Diversity of things to do – all within a short walking distance. A cruise ship is a one stop total city experience where everything you want is within a few hundred feet and a huge range of activities to indulge in. Fine dining. Broadway Style Shows. Variety of dining venues. Shops. Lectures. Fitness center. Spa etc. Nearly everything you could imagine.
Variety. For people that prefer not to stay in one place a cruise means you can see many places without the hassle of packing and unpacking, changing hotels etc. You wake up each morning someplace new!
If you're new to cruising you may want to first refer to the glossary of cruise ship terms to become familiar with the nautical and cruise ship jargon used throughout this website.
If you have additional questions they may also be answered by reading through the Cruise Answer Book created by Princess Cruises. This booklet should be very helpful in answering many of the questions you may have as a first time cruiser.
