While I definitely do not cruise as much as I would like to, I think about cruising and what it would be like to work on a ship much more often than I should. When I graduated from college, I wanted to work on a cruise ship for a contract or two, likely as an … Continue reading The (Somewhat) Cure To My Obsession: Bravo’s Below Deck
Hurricane Season 2017
While some years hurricane season is not as harmful as others, 2017 has been pretty troublesome. Being from the United States, I can tell you that Harvey and Irma impacted many people in horrible ways. You all have seen the news, so I am not going to recap these storms for you. The US cruise … Continue reading Hurricane Season 2017
Got Burgers?
There's one huge thing that stands out to me about Carnival Cruise Line and that's their attitude towards fun. Apparently National Hamburger Day is this coming Sunday, May 28th. While, I didn't know this "holiday" existed, Carnival Cruise Line sure did. In celebration of the holiday, the Carnival Liberty culinary staff created a massive cheeseburger while docked in … Continue reading Got Burgers?

Whenever you are considering taking a trip, always go. You never know when it will be your last. Cruising has always been a family tradition for me. My parents both went on cruises with their parents, and now I go with my parents and extended family. While my family is extremely important to me on … Continue reading Always Go
Bermuda
This past August I made my first trip to Bermuda on the NCL Breakaway. The island instantly became one of my favorite ports! You may think of Bermuda as a sunny, warm, and tropical island with pretty beaches and bright turquoise water. This is certainly true for the British territory in the summer, but surprisingly … Continue reading Bermuda
NCL Deck Parties

Sailing out of NYC
This past August, I decided to take a chance on Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). As I mentioned in a few of my earlier posts, this was my first cruise with NCL, and my first out of New York. With low expectations, I was completely blown away by how incredible the staff of the NCL Breakaway … Continue reading Sailing out of NYC
New Year’s Eve
Yesterday, a friend of mine asked me what I thought we should do for New Year's Eve. My response: "I've only been on land for NYE probably twice in the past 15 years. I'm assuming a huge deck party in the middle of the ocean isn't an option." Growing up, it was always a family … Continue reading New Year’s Eve
