I think we all have a “Bucket List.” Whether we want to admit to it or not, there are a few things that we each want to do before the Grim Reaper rings the doorbell. Me, I have a few on my list. The first involves Kirstie Alley, Justin Beiber,…
Following a day at sea, we made a very quick stop in Cartagena, Colombia on our way to the Panama Canal. We docked around 7am, and those with shore excursions jetted off the ship while those who didn't, like me, slept soundly until the Indonesian guy who brings the scrambled…
The best day on a cruise is a day at sea. The absolute perfect day to relax with a Bahama Mama by the pool. If you buy her a drink... well, that's a bad joke. Speaking of bad jokes, a guy walks into a bar, and says to the bartender,…
When you're on a cruise, you're held captive with people from all over the world. Some don't speak English. Some may dress in their cultural attire. Some think wearing a Speedo at 450 pounds is acceptable. Some may be offended by the 20-something French woman who's topless on Deck 10…

Day two aboard Holland America Line's ms Zuiderdam has come and gone, and what an awesome day it was! I started the day having breakfast served on my verandah where the warm sunshine, bright blue water, and a gentle breeze were the perfect accompaniment to scrambled eggs, bacon, and ham.…
Living just 30 minutes north of Ft. Lauderdale has its perks for folks like me who like to cruise. During the winter months, the cruise lines base several ships in Port Everglades to take those who want to escape the cold to the warm climate in the Caribbean. Having been…
Beware the Ides of March. A day that wasn't too good for Julius Caesar was a great day in the Bahamas onboard the Eurodam. At least for those who got off the ship! We arrived at Holland America's private island, Half Moon Cay shortly after 8am. While 95% of the…
Time sure flies when you're having fun, doesn't it? It's hard to believe that it's time to pack up and leave the beautiful ms Eurodam after a week. I have to figure out what it is exactly that makes a vacation week go by so quick and a work week…
