I Put THE 3 Big Issues Cruisers Have With Holland America To The Test!

…h they are incredible, skip the longer and so more expensive Falklands and South Georgia itineraries which are around three weeks, as well as the Antarctic Bridge options where you fly over Drake Passage and join the ship in the region as the flights make them at a premium. Also skip the sub-Antarctic islands and southern Antarctica (Ross Sea) itineraries from New Zealand as they are long with few options and so more costly overall. With those gen…

Seniors Cruise Tips: Too Many Cruisers Over 55 Fall For These 8 Cruising Traps

…rts of the world like South America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific. It also means avoiding the busy cruise regions of the Caribbean, Mediterranean, or Alaska which tend to have more 7-night itineraries well suited for younger more time limited travellers. But if those three regions appeal, then I recommend you avoid cruising in peak school vacation seasons as not only is it cheaper, but it also means fewer crowds in ports and…

What should you expect when cruising the Caribbean?

…mes to take control of the islands. They then shipped in slaves from North Africa mostly in horrific conditions where many would perish on the trip. They were then sold in markets held in what are now picturesque and charming town squares. The slaves were required to work in the huge sugar plantations that soon covered most of the islands, with cruelty and force ensuring compliance. It is clear that the sugar plantations owners, all of who were fr…

Cape Town Restaurant: Beleza Obrigado

It was a good safe and steady menu which was tasty and good value. Not a place to rush back to or rave…
