Today's report is dedicated to the couple in 11165. The couple felt the need, at 4:30am, to open and slam shut every drawer in the closet (there are six) and slam all three closet doors. Now those who have been on a cruise before know that staterooms aren't necessarily the…
Day 2 onboard the MSC Divina saw us at sea as we sailed towards St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands where we arrive at 9am AT on Tuesday. The day started out with breakfast in the ship's buffet, which was only served until 10:00am. For late risers like…

Last Thanksgiving, I was onboard Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas for the ship's inaugural sailing out of Bayonne, NJ. Quantum, at the time, was Royal's newest and most technologically advanced ship with a price tag of one-billion dollars. This Thanksgiving, I'm on another Royal Caribbean ship, Independence of the…
