🗣️ Cruise Chronicles - May Edition
WHAT KIND OF CRUISER ARE YOU?
Believe it or not, the range of ships, experiences, and destinations can seem as vast as the ocean. Over the next few months, I will pose a few questions to help you determine the kind of cruiser you are.

SHIP SIZE
Which sounds like a lovelier Sunday afternoon?
A. A bustling city street fair filled with craft vendors, music, stages, food stands, and rides.
OR
B. A country drive with lunch, a little shopping, and enjoying the locals in a quaint rural town.

If you answered "A," choose a MEGASHIP.
Why? Big ships appeal to people who like lots of options for entertainment, dining, and deck-top fun.
Carnival - Mardi Gras, Jubilee
Royal Caribbean, Icon of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas
Norwegian - Escape

If you answered "B," choose a SMALL SHIP.
Why? You will have access to remote ports of call and (it has been said) the attention from the crew on smaller ships is extraordinary.

Stay tuned for the next Cruise Chronicle. In the meantime, let's schedule your next cruise vacation!

This week..... Royal Caribbean.🛳️

Last week (see post on 4.27.23),
I shared the Carnival Cruise Line ships by size. Let's take a look at Royal Caribbean.

Royal Caribbean's cruise line brings an ambiance that the more "mature" adult can appreciate. Carnival Ships may be known as the "party ships," but Royal Caribbean has its full share of fun. Price comparison? Royal Caribbean cruise pricing will, in most cases, be HIGHER than Carnival.

In closing, the same applies when it comes to experiences and destinations...no matter the line or ship, to experience destinations further than the Bahamas & Mexico, you must go BIG and plan to spend greater than 4 or 5 nights onboard.

Your next vacation experience awaits! Contact me to begin planning!

👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

The biggest Royal Caribbean cruise ships are, by definition, the Royal Caribbean ships with the most pools, waterslides and other deck-top activities.

Cruise Chronicles - What's the BIG DEAL?

You may have heard the phrase "size matters.". Well, let me keep it real. When it comes to cruise ships, IT IS TRUE. SIZE DOES MATTER!

I've sailed on close to every CARNIVAL Cruise ship with the lastest being onboard MARDI GRAS! MARDI GRAS will soon NOT be the largest ship in the fleet. However, the larger the ship the greater the experience, the more options in dining, entertainment, activities and the destinations are more exquisite.

Take a look at the Carnival lineup via the link below. 👇🏾

In closing, as your Cruise & Travel Specialist, you can count on me to provide you with an experience that meets yours needs and fits your budget. Yet, let it known....when you want to see more of the world, YOU MUST GO BIG!
