I wonder if anyone has any advice, I’m kind of torn… We’re looking to do a cruise towards the end of august 2020 and the general advice seems to be to book early because rates rarely drop and room availability can be difficult later. We’ve gone on four cruises before (1 disney, 2 royal carribean […]
My boyfriend and I will be taking a cruise with NCL in July. Cruise will dock at 7 am in Livorno, Italy. We want to take a wine tour, specifically in the Chianti region of Tuscany. Most tours we’ve seen begin in the afternoon. This would not give us enough time to return to the […]

Just booked a cruise on Celebrity (early 2020). It’s 5 days out of Miami. I opted for the pre paid gratuities ($145) per room. The classic drink package was included and I paid to upgrade to the premium drink package, which also charges 18% gratuities. We have $300 on board credit that we plan on […]
We are really interested in giving X a try. However, we tend to cruise more for the ship and less for the itinerary (we’ve done a ridiculous number of Bahamas cruises, and it’s not because we love Nassau!). We don’t mind a port-intensive itinerary, and therefore a ship with fewer bells and whistles, but they’re […]
Also called “the City of Sails,” a sprawling metropolis between two harbors (Waitemata and Manukau Harbors), Auckland is located in New Zealand’s North Island. It is a friendly, cosmopolitan city of 1.45 million inhabitants – it has attracted a large concentration of Polynesians from South Pacific islands as well as Asians. New Zealand’s largest city […]
We sailed in 2017 in a balcony and noticed about midway thru our cruise our cabin was very musty probably related to our damp clothes and sea air. I also way overpacked last trip. This go around we have 4 port days, 3 we will probably hang at the beach so I am planning more […]
I’m asking this here because I’m a bit confused. My family and I always choose options like My Dining Time because we want to be free of going when we feel like it. This is our first time cruising with Royal (on Allure of the Seas in April) and I got emails saying we should […]
Are there any negatives to having this? I feel like I’ve read somewhere they charge you extra in gratuities. Last time we sailed we didn’t have specialty dining and were fine with the regular restaurant options. Can it be challenging getting reservation times? I HATE planning my vacation around mealtimes as this stresses us out. […]
