April 2020 ~ Around The World In 80 Cruise Ships

“While it’s easy to focus on cruising because of its high profile, the fact is cruising is neither the source or cause of the virus or its spread,” CLIA said in a statement. “What is different about the cruise industry is the very stringent reporting requirements applicable to vessels that do not apply to comparable venues on land where the spread of communicable disease is just as prevalent. It would be a false assumption to connect higher frequency and visibility in reporting to a higher frequency of infection.”

Cruisers, talk to each other, and influence each other. So progress gets amplified through WOM, Word of Mouth.. The more people who have ocean cruised, the more who will tell others, the more who will want to take an ocean cruise too. I am doing my part by blogging about my travels.

Here are my TOP SWEET SPOTS-

1. Santorini, Greece

Let The Orinoco Flow

2.Maldives, Islands

Consciousness Is Wireless

3. Bora Bora

Tahiti-Stopover In Paradise

4. The Fjords of Norway

Mother Nature and Father Time Are Effin Special

5. The Fjords of New Zealand

Milford Sound-Are We There Yet?

6.Full World Cruise

L.A.To London in 110 Days

Honaroable Mention (45 days) Hong Kong to SOTON (Southampton)

7. The Oasis Of The Seas

Game Changer- The Ship IS the destination. Remarkable. This 225,282-ton, 5,400-passenger colossus that cost Royal Caribbean $1.4 billion.

It only ends once-anything before that is just progress

Too much cruise ship? Quantity is its own kind of quality.

Go BIG or Go HOME

The Hawaiian Islands

2011 was a watershed year- At sea for 365 days- with a few days on land to chase a ship down in Australia and the USA.

Here are my accounts of those 364 days (more like DAZE) in 2011-Once around without leaving the ground.

There is no doubt about it, the exhilarating state of mind that travel can evoke, when everything seems suddenly fresh, vivid, intensely interesting, and memorable.

Travelling by cruise ships-12 ports in 14 days, is like flirting with life.
It's like saying, I wanna love you, but I have to go; this is just the way it is.
