I wrote a post last week about Carnival Cruise Lines' sale in honor of Veterans Day. Today Princess Cruise Lines is promoting their on board military credit program. Available to active and retired members of the armed forces of the United States and Canada, the on board credit ranges from $50 to $250 per stateroom, dependent upon length of cruise.

You undoubtedly have heard the news reports. Carnival Splendor, with 3299 passengers on board, is adrift at sea after a fire early Monday morning in one of the engine rooms. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but it left the ship dead in the water. The crew was able to restore power to some critical systems, but basic hotel functions remain inoperative.

Ocean Cruise? River Boat Cruise? Why Choose?

Princess Cruise Line has come up with something quite interesting for next summer. Cruise tours are nothing new. They give passengers an opportunity to extend their trip beyond the scope of a cruise and explore areas not easily accessible from the ship. Think Alaskan lodges or three nights in Beijing, for example.

Yeeesss!
If you have been reading this blog for a while, you will have undoubtedly noticed that I have a particular interest in options for single cruisers. This is, however, not a wholly altruistic penchant. I have, on occasion, failed to take advantage of an opportunity to cruise because no one I know is in a position to travel with me. Single supplements and the lack of

Lindblad Expeditions will mark the 70th anniversary of John Steinbecks's "The Log From The Sea of Cortez" with a special Baja California expedition. The expedition will both recall Steinbeck's famous journey with his friend, biologist Ed Ricketts, and explore the marvelous and extensive natural beauty and ecosystem of the sea that so captivated them.

Sometimes you just have to shake your head in disbelief.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers had a busy day October 24th in San Juan. In two separate, apparently unrelated incidents, a total of four passengers from the Serenade of the Seas, fresh from a seven-night Caribbean cruise, were taken into custody for drug possession.
In the first incident, Diana Hortencia Latigua-Lore
