Whether you are headed directly to your cruise embarkation point or to the airport for a flight to a cruise on a distant shore, it is most important to heed this warning: I have seen so many people make the fatal mistake of packing their medication in their checked luggage. One should always transport this potentially life saving cargo in one's carry on luggage and do not let it leave your side.
Ziplines have become all the rage in Alaska since the first one opened in 2005. And as the zipline has gained in popularity over the past decade, it has spread throughout the Southeast region, where the heavily traveled Inside Passage is almost entirely covered in temperate rain forest — making it the perfect environment for an exhilarating ride through the tree tops.
I am back from my last amazing cruise just 10 days, and although I miss many things about life on the Seven Seas Voyager....the butler service, the cocktails, having a steward to make the bed every day..... I am really happy to be back to my broadband connection....
Back in Sydney writing this after three days of torrential rain, and am so missing the Voyager! No steward to pick up our towels and make our bed, no butler to bring us canapes.......
It's not easy to find single cabins on most cruise ships, usually singles have to pay a single supplement. When one books a cruise, you normally pay a per person, double occupancy price. The single supplement is usually quite expensive - 50 percent+ or more of the total cruise cost because it is designed to recoup the income lost by not having a second traveller in the cabin.
What you pack in your carry on bag can make or break your vacation. Most cruisers think that cruise lines never lose bags, which is correct, they just misplace them – sometimes for a few hours, occasionally for a few days.
It's been a week of high drama on the high seas for a variety of reasons! First I had to see the doctor on board Seven Seas Voyager; only the second time I have seen a ship’s doctor in more than 20 years of cruising, but my second visit in six months!
