Disney Dream Reaches Home Port near Orlando

A couple hundred Disney cast members, a bevy of specially invited press, hundreds of members of the public, and a few rather large rodents, greeted the arrival to Florida of the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet this morning – The Disney Dream. Port Canaveral will be the home port for the ship that has been under construction for nearly two-years in Papenburg, Germany. For the most part The Dream will sail three, four, and five night cruises to the Bahamas.

First Pictures inside the Disney Dream

Even though the Disney Dream has floated out of its dock at Meyer Werft in Germany, that doesn’t mean the work is all done on the floating theme park. In fact, a lot of interior finishing work is still under way

Into the Wild, Volume One

When I first became a travel agent (way back in 2004) and immersed myself in learning about new places, one of the first things I did was watch the DVDs for the Princess Cruiseline Alaska Cruisetours. This was both a good idea and a bad one, as it gave me a very strong desire to visit a place I had never been (Alaska)…but also instilled in me that there really was no way to do it other than a Princess Cruisetour. And of course a balcony stateroom on the cruise portion was a must

Can You Trust Online Cruise Reviews?

  A good question lately!  Once there was a rather large dust-up when it was disclosed that a major cruise line had given away some free cruises to a core group of its fans who posted regularly on a large cruise community site.  There were many cries of “foul” and “reverse censorship”.  While this may have been blown a bit out of proportion, it does open the door to a question lots of novice cruisers ask.  And the question is “Should I trust the reviews I read on sites like Cruise Critic?”  The answer is Yes and No. Why the ambiguity?  Because the most important thing to remember that what you are reading is just one person (or couple’s) opinion about a particular ship, cruise line or service amenity.  Have you ever gone to a shore side restaurant that a friend raves about and found it to be very disappointing?  I think we all have.  And what about that fabulous plumber who was recommended strongly?  The one who broke the pipe and flooded your new carpet?  Oops

A Second Cruise: Learning to Love Carnival

Recently, I’ve faced some interesting expressions when revealing that my fiance and I have chosen Carnival Cruise Line as the carrier for our honeymoon later this year, and despite feeling that I have the ability to explain our choice, I find myself thinking that people still don’t get it. Poor Carnival…they really do have a bad rap. They’re the party cruise line, man
