This time we are on the Regal Princess. We were on this ship in 2018 on a Transatlantic where we disembarked in Copenhagen. We spent some time in the Piazza listening to music and watching the production cast perform. Dinner was ok. Princess doesn’t have escargot on the menu every night, so I had shrimpContinue reading “Back Out To Sea Again”

Now we are on the second cruise of our back-to-back. It was a four day and three day. Same ports but no sea day on the second one. So how do you do a back-to-back? Find the cruise that follows the one you are on, and book it. On departure day, all those on theContinue reading “On a Back-to-Back Cruise”

I have fond memories of the Celebrity Reflection. It is the ship that made us fall in love with cruising. We took it from Fort Lauderdale to Rome. We spent many a day enjoying the Persian Garden Spa. Now, 10 years later, we are Elite, and I get a free day during port days. IContinue reading “On Board Celebrity Reflection”

Today was a fun day. I bought tickets to Beetlejuice at the Kravis Center in Palm Beach. I used Bruce’s Chase Sapphire Reserve to book the tickets. The card gives you $150 back using StubHub each half-year so the tickets came to $147. What’s crazy is the outrageous fees StubHub charges. The tickets were $40Continue reading “Date Day with my Hubby”

We woke up to a view of snow-covered mountains in Whittier, Alaska. We traveled by train from Whittier to Anchorage. It was a domed train that gave us excellent views. We saw snow-capped mountains and open water for miles. I hoped to spot a whale but did not. The water has a bluish green tintContinue reading “Traveling From Alaska to California”

We woke up to another cloudy day but with a mountainous terrain out our balcony. We had a tour booked through Viator to include learning about the Gold Rush and also going to the Gold Rush cemetery. As we left the ship, we sighted a whale right in front of our ship. Unfortunately, I didContinue reading “A Visit to Skagway”

Today we woke to cloudy skies and 45 degrees Fahrenheit. We wanted to go to the gym and then planned to get off the ship. The gym was empty which was great. Looking out the gym windows we saw long lines waiting for the shuttle bus to town. We decided to wait and use theContinue reading “No Sitka”

We spent two days at sea, enjoying the shows, eating, talking with new friends, and playing in the casino. I had escargot for two nights which I love. One night we even had a sunset. Last year when we were on an Alaskan cruise, Ketchikan was a tender port. We were going to get offContinue reading “Today Ketchikan”

It was time to say goodbye to Vancouver and our lovely hotel the Fairmont Pacific Rim. We spent most of the morning showering repacking and trying to organize our stuff. Check in on Royal Caribbean‘s Ovation of the Sea wwas 2:30. It was an ugly, rainy day not one for site seeing. We did spendContinue reading “A Voyage on The Ovation of the Seas”

We are on our way back to Vancouver after a wonderful few days in Banff. Our route this morning has been quite lovely with clear blue skies. The mountains were gentler with y’all trees and lush green landscaping and little snow. But as we grew closer to Vancouver snow-capped mountains began to appear! There wereContinue reading “Traveling to Vancouver”
