Update: I forgot one and there is no way I can cut this down so make that 10 great cruise blogs plus one. </p>There are a lot of great travel blogs out there but not a lot that deal  exclusively with cruise vacations. Here is a list of my favorites, in  no particular order, along with the names of their writers and what they  have to say about themselves. These are 10 great cruise blogs that  anyone half-way interested in cruise vacations should take a look at,  probably every day.


Some of these writers I have met, others not but all share a passion  for cruise vacations that is undeniable. For good cruise vacation  information, these are the ones to read. They’re also some of the best  ones to follow on Twitter so I included their Twitter handles too. In  fact, if you made a list called “Cruise Experts” every one of these  would make great additions.



  1. USA Today’s The Cruise Log-Gene  Sloan- “I oversee USA TODAY’s Cruise Log (cruises.usatoday.com), an  online site where cruise fans can blow hours at a time talking about  cruising. It’s just my latest gig as a travel writer, an occupation that  has kept me on the road more than 1,200 days over the past 15 years as  I’ve written about everything from cruising to trekking in the Peruvian  Andes” (@CruiseLog)
  2. CruiseCritic blog-Carolyn  Spencer Brown and a host of others- “Sometimes the juiciest info we  come across as we report on all things cruise related simply can’t make  it into the “real” stories we produce on the Web site every day. But  we’ve got space here to share with you outtakes, random observations,  occasional glimmers of inspiration, and other stuff – so we hope you’ll  not only visit often but also join in the conversation.Who’s on the  Cruise Critic team? Our key bloggers will be London-based Sue Bryant  (SJB), Cruise Critic’s contributing editor, and Carolyn Spencer Brown  (CSB), the site’s editor in chief. Jamey Bergman (JAB), Cruise Critic’s  U.K.-based web producer, Dan Askin (DA) and John Deiner (JD), our  managing editor, will also be jumping onboard as will occasional guest  bloggers.”
  3. John Heald’s Blog-John Heald-  “I started this blog when a lady called Stephanie said “Oh John, please  write a blog, it will only be for a week and won’t take up much of your  time.” That was back in 1492 and here I am still writing in the same  pair of underpants. I am Carnival’s Senior Cruise Director and Brand  Ambassador, and I am here to share my life with you in all its boring  and sometimes toilet-based glory.” (@CarnivalCruise)
  4. Avid Cruiser- Ralph Grizzle-  “I began my journalistic career at the age of 32, following the  conclusion of my ‘sabbatical decade.’ From 1980 through 1990, I bicycled  across America, pedaled through Europe and island-hopped the South  Pacific. After backpacking through Bali, bussing through Java, hopping a  boat to Singapore and crossing Malaysia to Thailand, I flew into Burma,  tramped to Dhaka and endured a 32-hour train ride from calamitous  Calcutta to bustling Bombay. From there, I hopped a plane for Greece and  traveled to Switzerland before returning home, where I settled, quite  naturally, into a career of travel writing.” (@avidcruiser)
  5. Captain Greybeard-  (this is the plus one- Sheesh, how could I forget?) “John Honeywell is a  cruiseaholic and addicted to traveling the oceans. Any day at sea is  better than a day in the office” (@CaptainGreybeard)
