Once upon a time, a Japanese lord was riding by a dilapidated temple. With an intro like that, you know a fascinating story must follow. So begins one of my favorite tales about the beloved creatures known as Maneki Neko or Lucky Cats. But what does that story have to do with my cruise aboard the beautiful new MSC Seascape? The story is relevant because of the tasty dinner I enjoyed in the ship’s Kaito Sushi Bar… Many people wait until the last moment to get things done. Why else would Super Saturday, the Saturday before Christmas and the Thursday before Christmas be #2 and #3 on the list of the ten busiest shopping days in the US? (1) Let us make the case why now is the ideal time to book a cruise, regardless when you intend to sail. A cruise is a spectacular present. Years ago, my wife and I gave each… I love wine. I dream about wine. My wife tolerates my enthusiasm for drinking and collecting wine. Yes, I am a wine fan. On our recent voyage on Cunard’s Queen Victoria, I had the opportunity to interview Vellen Mootoosamy, the Chief Sommelier. The Wine lists on Cunard are excellent. What is new for 2023? What are you doing differently? When we had our discussion, the Queen Victoria was starting the 98-night world cruise. As the ship circles… THE MUCH-AWAITED SILVER NOVA SETS SAIL THIS AUGUST Silver Nova ushers in an entirely new era in 21st Century luxury travel.

On what is being called the “ultimate amusement ride” onboard MSC Seascape, passengers can choose their own high-tech fun. The first robotic arm ride at sea has a fitting name – Robotron. Watching others climb on the ride and then enthusiastically climb off, I could see why this new ride is popular. “We heard about it so we wanted to try… In the late Eighties, there was a famous commercial for bath products that coined the line, “Calgon, take me away.” That could easily apply to what Princess Cruises has achieved in creating “360,” an immersive and interactive dining experience like no other, where a select group of guests are virtually transported to a tour of European food meccas. Launched last November on Discovery Princess, it debuted on Enchanted Princess in January, and this week, invited media got… In my mind, I could hear Frank Sinatra crooning “New York, New York.” Start spreading the news, as the song says, that the beautiful new MSC Seascape is my kind of ship. “I want to be a part of it,” Frank would sing. And for one wonderful week I will be a part of the glorious Seascape as we cruise from Miami into the sunny Caribbean. On MSC Seascape, the Statue of Liberty raises her arm in… Are you sailing on a cruise from a nearby homeport? If not, you are likely flying to Europe or another distant destination to join your cruise ship. Why not extend your vacation for a couple of days and enjoy the city? If you are sailing from a homeport, you can drive (or be driven) to the pier on the day of your cruise. If you live in New York and are sailing from Southampton, you will be… Sleet pinged off my car window. Snow edged the highway where plows had shoveled it aside. My heater was going full blast but I could still feel the wintry wind buffeting my small car. Hoosier winters can be tough. But I’m on my way to the Indy airport for a flight to Miami to board the beautiful new MSC Seascape for a weeklong Caribbean cruise. Wonderful time to escape an Indiana winter and learn more about the… Regent’s Longest World Cruise – New 154-Night 2026 World Cruise – Offers Luxury Travelers Exploring 41 Countries Across 6 Continents Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the world’s leading luxury ocean cruise line, has unveiled its longest World Cruise to date, sailing January 10, 2026, on board the elegant Seven Seas Mariner.
