Can you still have fun on an older cruise ship? I put this question to the test when I recently sailed on Celebrity Equinox and Celebrity Edge for a combined total of three weeks. 

The older Celebrity Equinox ship was quite different from the innovative Celebrity Edge, providing two different experiences, and the results of my dueling cruise adventures surprised me. 

Do you love 70s or 80s music, or maybe you are a huge Star Trek fan? A themed cruise might just be the ticket for you.

There is an incredible selection of themed cruises that let you enjoy your favorite hobby, sport, passion, or music for the ultimate cruise vacation. 

With famous bands, celebrities, and theme-related activities, it can be a wonderful way to combine a cruise vacation with something you love.  

Where to start? We look at some of the best options offered and everything you need to know to plan a fantastic themed cruise. 

While Bahamas and Caribbean cruises are popular year-round, the Alaska cruise season is short-lived. Sailings typically begin in late April and go through early October. The peak season, however, falls between June and August. 

Cruises are popular vacation options due to their convenience; you pay one price for unlimited food, entertainment, accommodation, and transportation between each port of call. 

Are cruises truly all inclusive, though? While you can certainly have a great vacation without paying extra for add-ons, the base fare of your cruise is usually not all inclusive. 

On several Celebrity cruise ships, you can find a very unique, animated dining experience called Le Petit Chef. This is a specialty dining restaurant onboard Celebrity’s cruise ships and features an immersive and visual dinner.

Le Petit Chef is not exclusive to Celebrity’s cruise ships; in fact, there are over 35 Le Petit Chef restaurants around the world. Celebrity created a partnership with the restaurant to feature this one-of-a-kind cruise ship dining experience.

Planning any vacation is exciting! You get to take time away from your normal routine and reconnect with family and friends. 

While cruises are popular for their convenience (I mean, there's nothing better than only unpacking once and visiting multiple different places in a single trip!), a little time spent preparing can help make sure that you have the best trip possible. 

Each cruise line aims to offer a unique and unparalleled onboard experience to compete in the cruise industry. Because of this, there are so many cruise lines that can fit the travel styles of almost anyone.

There are things to like and dislike about almost every cruise line. At the end of the day, you have to find the cruise line that not only fits your budget, but also your cruising style and priorities.

This month on March 9th 2023, Disney Cruise Line officially announced that their newest private island paradise will open next year, in summer 2024! Along with this announcement, Disney shared some concept art photos and revealed further details regarding the newest cruise line private island in the industry.
