I recently went on a cruise to the Caribbean, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we boarded, the staff made everything smooth and welcoming. I loved the shore excursions — snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, exploring local markets, and even a zipline adventure on one island. Onboard, the dining was fantastic, and I especially enjoyed the evening shows and live music.
One tip from my experience: plan a mix of on-board relaxation and active excursions. It made the trip feel balanced and memorable. Honestly, cruising is such a great way to see multiple destinations without the stress of constant packing and traveling. Can’t wait for my next adventure

Have many unforgettable moments- 1st- getting upgraded to the Penthouse Suite on the Princess Grand in 1999- cruise was not going well- 7 hrs late in boarding, no bathrobes upon request, ignored in mdr- sat for 45 min - no orders were taken- finally got up & left- spoke to purser- not helpful so we made appointment w/ supervisor- explained problems- asked what could be done- we asked for possible cabin upgrade= 12 hrs later we had the Penthouse Suite- fireplace, wet bar, walk in closet- canapes delivered to room, also private elevator!! 2nd- being invited to dine at the Captain's Table on The NCL Norway- still can't figure out why my best friend & I were selected- private Reception before dinner- walked down Grand staircase to mdr (this was before specialty restaurants existed) superb food, wine w/ each course- -those events stand out amongst all my special moments
Hard to pick a couple after 85 cruises, loved the penthouse we had on Edge right after Covid and on my wife 60th birthday, concierge and staff gave us wine , flowers and sang happy birthday to her along with a full table of appetizers for some new friends. Loved passing by an active volcano after dinner in Hawaii and seeing a river of lava pour into the ocean and seeing the steam come up .
