Day 5 aboard the ms Eurodam, or as she's called, the “Mighty E.” We're stopped in St. Thomas, on a somewhat overcast day, where the expression “be wise, sanitize” is echoing throughout the ship. Last evening a letter was delivered to our cabins announcing that the extra sanitation measures that…
Some guy who simply goes by his initials, J.T., rudely awaked me with an early morning announcement that we've arrived in Grand Turk. I wasn't quite sure if I should jump out of bed, skip changing my underwear and scurry off the Eurodam with the rest of the people or…
Day 2 was one of those days you just sit back, relax and watch the world go by. In other words, a day at sea. Those who cruise as much as I do enjoy a sea day much better than any port day. I won't go into my rant about…
Those of you who follow me, know I'm an avid cruiser. My latest adventure has me returning to Holland America's ms Eurodam, which I last cruised on shortly after her launch in 2008. With 2100 passengers and 800 crew, the Eurodam is one of two of Holland America's largest Signature…
Before the suitcases are put away and my dirty underwear is in the washer, it's time for a review of my week aboard the largest passenger ship in the world, Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas. Unfortunately, due to Tropical Storm Isaac, this 7-day Western Caribbean cruise was shortened to…

Safety at sea is something that I'm never really concerned about, as I feel my chances of meeting my…
When your days are filled with nothingness it's hard to find time to blog. Excuses, excuses. I'm currently onboard the m/v Seven Seas Navigator, one of three ships that make up the Regent Seven Seas Cruise Line. This is my second time aboard the Navigator, my last visit was over…
“I'll take a bad day at sea over a good day on land anytime.” I overheard someone say that last night and it rings so true. There is something calming about the sea, whether stormy and rough, or flat calm like it is this morning as I write this. Maybe…
It's hard to believe that the end is almost near. No I'm not talking about what will happen if Sara Palin actually gets elected president, I'm talking about the end bliss as I currently know it. There are some times in life when you wish time would just stop, this…
After four and a half days at sea onboard Holland America Line's ms Nieuw Amsterdam, we finally made it to Grand Cayman where the weather is spectacular! Due to strong winds and rough seas, we were unable to hit any of our port-of-calls up until today. Some people throughly enjoyed…
