Cruising to the French Riviera Pics
Ever since I was a child I can rememberthe French Riviera as being synonymous with luxury and glamor. Itwas the place where royalty and movie stars went to vacation. It wasalso the location for numerous films including Hitchcock's “ToCatch A Thief” and several James Bond movies.
It wasn't until I first went therethat I realized why this place attracts people who could go anywherein the world. It is simply a beautiful combination of sea, mountainsand charming looking towns. The light is soft, not too harsh. Theweather is mild, not too hot and not too cold. A really nicecombination.

This week our primary focus is the Disney Dream of Disney Cruise Lines. The Dream was the third shipbuilt for Disney. But while she maintained the traditional oceanliner look of Disney's two earlier ships, she is a much larger ship. In addition, she was built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany,which is known for its quality.
Carnival Splendor Revisited Pics
The first time that I saw Carnival Splendor was a few months after she entered service in 2008. She wasdoing a series of Caribbean cruises from Miami before heading aroundSouth America to her new home port, Long Beach, California. Thisyear, she returned to the East Coast to take up station as CarnivalCruise Lines' year-round ship in New York. In between much hashappened to the ship including a fire that attracted media attentionand subsequent repairs and upgrades that did not get much newscoverage. Consequently, I felt it was about time to go back and lookat the Splendor again to see what kind of cruise experience she isproviding these days.
Royal Yacht Britannia Pics
With a new baby expected any day now,many people are thinking about the British Royal Family. Accordingly, it seems fitting to look at the Royal Family's ship, HMYBritannia.
The Britannia was built in the early1950s not to be a pleasure boat for the Royal Family but to assistthe monarch in her duties as head of state by acting as a mobile baseof operations during her visits to foreign lands. Among otherthings, the yacht allowed the Queen to host receptions and banquetsunder the British flag while she was abroad. And the list of foreignheads of state that visited Britannia during her 40 years of serviceis quite impressive, including four United States Presidents.
Alhambra, Cruise port Malaga, Spain Pics
When I was growing up, I rememberhearing of the Alhambra. It was most likely in connection withWashington Irving's writings, as his house was not far from ours. However, the image stayed in mind of this beautiful castle in Spain. This image was only reenforced as I grew older and read countlesstravel articles discussing the romance of the Alhambra.
Celebrity Eclipse superior cruise ship Pics
Celebrity Eclipse is a superior cruiseship. She is one of five Solstice class ships built by Meyer Werftfor Celebrity Cruises. All of these ships are nicely designed withattention to detail. They also offer a very good array of diningoptions ranging from casual to healthy to classic fine dining. Inaddition, they offer a good program of reasonably sophisticatedentertainment and activities even though the enrichment program isnot as cutting edge as it was just a few years ago. They are alsogood ships from a nautical perspective.
