…n a trip of a lifetime and missed out. One that sticks in my mind was on a South American trip on Holland America last year. The highlight was going to see penguins in the Falklands, which for most would be the only cruise they’ll ever go on to see penguins in their natural environment. But I met so many that had waited until they got on board to try and book that excursion – it was sold out. I booked months ahead and got to see them. I put in my…

For example, on a recent Holland America South America trip, I was invited to go to a table hosted by one of the senior officers and we were all given a commemorative shot glass to take home at the end.

Cruise Buffet Dining: What SMART Cruisers Do (And DON’T Do)

…t international themed dining option. I get to try Indian, Mexican, Asian, South American, French, Italian, and so on across my cruise. And, many of them will have sushi nightly, which I find impossible to get in the main dining room every evening. So, a smart cruiser sees the buffet as a way of trying a more diverse range of foods. As a tip, I see smart cruisers always do a full circuit of the buffet before they make any choice to see the entire…

These 4 Overrated Cruise Tips Are Probably Costing You BIG TIME!

I have very limited status on Holland America, but the deal at the time included their “Have It All” package. So, I got Wi-Fi, drinks, gratuities, dining and excursion credits, which not only are way above any of the limited perks I would get on Cunard but would have been add on costs of well over $2,000 if…

4 Overrated Cruise Tips You Should Ditch (And What To Do Instead)
