Cruising is the main way to explore awesome Antarctica

Virtual-Piano Our planet's vast, remote, southernmost continent - larger than Europe - is a much-coveted "final frontier" for many travelers. 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…

Meanwhile, grandchildren Tom and Betsy were…

A wintertime cruise above Norway's Arctic CIrcle

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. These are mostly passenger cruise ships, but also serve the vital function of transporting locals and cargo between 34 towns along the coast, some of which are otherwise fairly isolated. And they´re comfortable but hardly luxurious, without most of the bells and whistles common across the cruise industry these…

Capitals, castles and more on a Danube River cruise

Grand Circle Travel “Now we’re heading toward Dürnstein, one of the loveliest towns in Austria,” the voice over loudspeaker of the M/V Adagio intoned. “Its buildings represent a number of architectural styles and so many artists have gathered at one spot to portray the magnificent surrounding landscape that it became known as the Painters’ Corner.” The fact is, though, that on the way to Dürnstein we sailed past lovely town after lovely town. As the vessel continued its journey on the…

While we really don't know that the Navy doesn't feature lobster almondine (it actually sounds awful,) we do know that Carnival doesn't plan to have a ship dead in the water.
The cruise line is doing all they can and will make things right financially with passengers. It is a horrible way to experience a cruise, a horrible travel experience all the way around, but it was an accident. Just like the airplane's engine falling off, train derailments, etc.Stuff happens, and there is no joy in cruiseville when any line suffers this kind of thing
And definitely to lobster almondine.
Crab salad? Maybe.

The Navy doesn't carry a lot of lobster almondine....

This evening I saw a news item on TV about the cruise ship that's stuck in the waters off Mexico. The U.S. Navy responded by air-dropping Spam. Can you imagine?
