Traveling to your cruise might require you to fly to the embarkation port, unless you’re lucky enough to live close to your cruise port and you can drive.

This summer, travel delays seem to be increasingly more common with horror stories of travelers getting stranded in the airport for hours with cancelations and delays.

Most of this is due to the 2022 summer travel chaos with unprecedented demand for travel, but these kinds of delays can happen at any time when you are flying. 

Get ready to sing along to Donna Summer's all-time greatest hits on Norwegian Cruise Line's next new cruise ship.

Norwegian Cruise Line announced the new show will be titled ‘Summer: The Donna Summer Musical’, and will make its debut with Norwegian aboard the Norwegian Prima, which is currently scheduled to welcome aboard passengers on its first sailings next month, August 2022.

Celebrity Cruises is known for offering a refined cruise experience onboard its fleet of upscale cruise ships. While part of the Royal Caribbean Group, Celebrity Cruises is one of the more well-known cruise lines at sea, they actually operate one of the simplest fleets of any major cruise line.

With only 16 ships designated among 4 classes, Celebrity Cruises focuses on building innovative, modern, and trendy cruise ships that are sure to leave a lasting impression. 

Nothing is quite like that moment when you step on a cruise ship to start a much anticipated vacation.  

While you grab a cocktail and get some lunch, the crew loads and starts delivering luggage to thousands of passengers. This can take some time, a couple of hours most often.

Given this delay, everything you need for that first part of your day, items like flip-flops, shades and valuables, should be in your carry-on. 

As many people return to cruising after a long pandemic pause, they may be asking themselves if an upgrade to a suite is worth it.

Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island, is always a port of call on the Disney Cruise Line ships departing from Florida. It’s one of the most popular stops for families - offering beautiful beaches and fun activities.

Whether you want to spend the time on this beautiful island relaxing, or if you prefer staying active, here are twenty fun things to do on Castaway Cay.

Packing for a 7-day cruise with just a carry-on suitcase and a backpack might seem impossible. In fact, that’s exactly how I felt before I tried it myself. 

I travel frequently, both for work and for leisure. Until recently, I had no issue checking luggage with the airline when I would travel. However, with the current chaos ensuing at the airports and people losing their bags left and right, it seemed that traveling with just a carry-on suitcase might be my best bet to having a positive travel experience. 

Doing laundry on a cruise may not be necessary for some, but it can be helpful for longer cruises or for those guests traveling with younger kids who go through a lot of clothes.

Another factor to consider is that cruisers aren’t allowed to bring irons or steamers onboard due to a potential fire hazard, making pressing services helpful at times.

Unfortunately, sometimes we need to change travel plans. Not ideal, but life is busy, and things pop up. Adding to travelers’ worries are the recent flight delays and cancellations, resulting in some guests missing their cruise.

Before booking a cruise, it is a good idea to understand cancellation policies, especially as it relates to any promotional pricing and packages. Details regarding how much money you will get back, timeframes and processes are all things to know ahead of time.
