Cruising can be one of the most value-friendly vacations going but offers some extraordinarily high-end options as well. But how the heck do you choose from all the hundreds if not thousands of options out there? Here are some resources (including non-traditional cruising, like freighters) and feedback.

The exclusive dining experience on the Princess Discovery is unlike any other I have been a part of during my travels. "360: An Extraordinary Experience" is dining immersion making one feel like you’re sitting in the Greek countryside with olive trees or smelling the fragrance of lavender in the south of France. Thanks to Princess Cruises, I savored this time with fellow bloggers. I immediately became captivated with the experience when I heard beautiful music played by two violinists and…

And booking Antarctica vacation packages via cruise ship offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see frozen landscapes that can't be seen anywhere else along with a plethora of polar wildlife. With vacation packages typically ranging from one to three weeks, cruise ships departing from Argentina's Tierra del Fuego make the two-day crossing through the…
Read more…Carnival Cruise Line On their recent Carnival Cruise Lines vacation, every member of the Meyers family was busy enjoying their three-generation vacation getaway. Tom and Martha were playing their favorite sport of pickleball, which is a popular pastime among people in their advanced age group. Their son Ben and his wife Melissa were steering electric race cars along a winding two-level track (above and below), slowing to negotiate sharp hairpin turns. Meanwhile, grandchildren Tom and Betsy were…
Read more…We spent two nights were spent aboard the MS Nordkapp., a 590-passenger ship that´s one of the nine currently operated by the Hurtigruten line, which plies the Norwegian coast daily.

Hi, I would lile to introdce myself, I am Cara Bertoia and my husband is Ray and we love cruises. We worked on cruise ships for many years. We met on a cruise ship and we even wrote a book about our adventures called Cruise Quarters – A Novel About Casinos and Cruise Ships.
I have cruised to most of the continents and the Carribean. Ray has spent most of his time cruising in Europe. My favorite cruise was Northern Europe and Russia.
We also walked 500 miles across Spain. Our movie of the trip, Camino De Santiago - A Walker's Guide, is a popular guide to the Camino. You can find us at www.caminovideo.com or on Amazon.
Thanks,
Cara B
In a world of ups and downs, right and left, good and bad, you never really know what you are going to get.
I have seen safe and unsafe everywhere I go. I really can not defend anyone cause I Iknow that we all have made mistakes some where along the way.
I can only tell you that we at Countryside tours do our best to make sure that everything goes well.
Sometimes its not easy but we will try our best to do the right thing, to be reliable, punctual, accomodating and do the best we can.
DONT WORRY BE HAPPY
