Not all cruises are created equal

My idea of the perfect vacation. Visit a lot of places without actually having to spend time traveling, living out of a suitcase or hunting down the best places to eat, play and sleep. 

Cruise anyone?

Cruise, Baby, CruiseCruise, Baby, CruiseAll entertainment, meals and accommodations are included and while many ships cruise by night, many are also floating resorts that have more than enough fun onboard. But all cruises are not created equal. And choosing one that caters to your needs - and desires - will guarantee yours is so much more than just a day at the beach...

Health & Fitness Nuts

If you want to stay active while cruising, but can't bear the thought of another treadmill, Carnival Cruises is your best choice. Their routes along the Western Caribbean offer a wide variety of snorkeling, hiking, biking and scuba diving.

Girl Time

Carly Milne says Royal Caribbean rocks out with girlfriend cruises. "By the end of the trip, Sandra and I were blissfully un-stressed and sad to see it over with."

And if you take a repositioning cruise (ships moving from one region to another between seasons) you'll enjoy the best the cruise line has to offer at a fraction of the cost.

Big-Time Celebrations

Cruises used to be the hangout places for the newly wed and nearly dead, but today they're a great way to celebrate all the milestones in between. Whatever your celebration, go big with a cruise across the Atlantic on the Queen 2 Mary (Cunard) or a barging cruise through the French Waterways (GoBarging). Elegance, days that revolve around wine and fine dining and time to while away with your lover - now that's what I call perfect.

Have you cruised before? Did you choose wrong or do you want to hit the rewind button and do it again and again and again?

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Julia Rosien said "Great to meet you as well, Terri. And yes, we adore the Bay of Fundy :-) While I'll agree it's no longer parka weather in your neck of the woods, it's not quite string bikini weather either. Shall we toast to it and let the beer warm us up? Happy St Paddy's Day! Julia"

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Terri said "hey Travel girls, great to hear that you love our Bay of Fundy here on the east coast of Canada as much as you love Tim Horton's ...and, as a Bay of Fundy chick, I love the green tide analogy. For sure, there will be lots of fun times down here around St Paddy's day but I just want to send you a correction to say you certainly won't be needing a parka? to visit at this time of year. It's +8 to +10 degress Celius (that's in the 50s F for our American friends) - definitely well above parka weather. haha So nice that the birds are chirping and the maple sap is flying out of the trees and, ultimately, on to our pancakes. Happy spring! Terri the Bay of Fundy blogger bayoffundy.blogspot.com "

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Sad and heavy heart said "On a note about the roads of Totrola which are steep, and windy and narrow, all the more reason that tour vehicles should have regular safety checks, SEATBELTS (which dirvers should mandate use or not allow passengers to continue with the tour, driver's should go slow, and Princess Cruise Lines should do extensive background checks, and not hire people with the nick-name of Crash-Dummy."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Jan said "We were also on the ship with our friends, had spent the day at the beach in Tortola where the slider on my Omega came off, "broke" and lost. I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."
