To Cruise, Or Not To Cruise? That is the question…part 2

Won’t I Get Seasick? Most ships are so big and well stabilized you can hardly tell you’re moving, especially in the calm waters of the Caribbean, Alaska, and the Mediterranean. Global satellite positioning, high tech gadgetry and even underwater “wings” (yes, like an airplane) helps ships limit motion on the ocean. Radar helps big ships outrun hurricanes and other bad weather patches, but if you do happen to pass through some rough water, any queasiness can usually be relieved by an over-the-counter medication like Dramamine or Bonine. If you are very prone to seasickness, ask your doctor before you leave home for the Transderm patch, available by prescription. Alternative remedies include ginger capsules and acupressure wristbands.

To Cruise, Or Not To Cruise? That is the question…part 1

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

 Travelers new to cruising often have more excuses as to why they’ve never sailed than there are ships at sea. And often these excuses are often based on misconceptions about what a cruise vacation is really like. Over the course of the next 6 blogs, we answer some common questions to give you better insight into the cruise experience

1. Isn’t It Expensive?
The upfront price may come as a shock, but remember that your cruise fare includes your accommodations, food, activities, some complimentary drinks and nighttime entertainment. Add that to the option of reduced-rate airfare and transfers, and you can more often than not save mega bucks going on a cruise as opposed to a land-based vacation.

Kangaroos, Koalas and Emus…Oh My!

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Over 50 exhausted but totally thrilled Amazing Journeyers just returned home after a memorable and just plain “billabong” awesome tour to the Land Down Under.

For 15 days (for some, it was 18 days with the added land tour to Cairns and The Great Barrier Reef) we cooed at Koalas, went face-to-face with kangaroos in the wild, went wine tasting, penguin viewing, pub crawling, sheep herding, and trainspotting on one of the most beautiful train rides in the world. We climbed the Sydney Bridge and toured the Sydney Opera House, inside and out…and partied at a truly remarkable New Years Eve celebration aboard our cruise ship, Celebrity Millenium. There we danced under the stars, chugged champagne, and watched fireworks over the skyline of Melbourne, while exchanging hugs and kisses at the first stroke of midnight in 2009 throughout all of planet earth.

Thanks to those who joined us for some true on-the-barbie fun over New Years.
