Watching Your Ship Come In
This Antarctica cruise photo was taken from Paradise Bay on the white continent of Antarctica. We were ashore from the Hanseatic cruise ship while on a cruise roundtrip to Antarctica from Ushuaia, Argentina.

Sailing the Galapagos Islands with Quasar Expeditions
We had up-close looks at the fearless wildlife the Galapagos are famous for like giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies, and learned first-hand about the diversity of species and fascinating natural history of the island group. I saw vast numbers of marine life when snorkeling, including sharks, penguins, sea lions, and large schools of manta rays. I had a baby sea lion tickle my leg with his whiskers and watched the elaborate courtship of the blue-footed boobies. All in all, it was a marvelous voyage.

Today Is the Queen's Birthday! Trooping the Color Ceremony in London
Trooping the Color is English pageantry at its best. The ceremony starts at 11 am, when the Royal Procession arrives and The Queen takes the Royal Salute as she drives slowly past the Royal Guards and the Household Cavalry. After the inspection, the Royal Family gathers at 1 pm on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch a flyover of RAF planes. It's all very impressive!

Norwegian Breakaway - Cruise Ship Profile and Photo Galleries
I was on the Norwegian Breakaway for the christening and two-night preview cruise. The ship was designed for Norwegian's "freestyle-cruising", and has over 20 dining venues and about the same number of bars. All the dining venues are either open seating or by reservation-only. About half have an additional surcharge or charge a la carte pricing. The staterooms and suites are varied, with a price point for every budget. Those who expect more amenities and are willing to pay for them will enjoy staying in The Haven, the Norwegian Breakaway's exclusive and luxurious "ship-within-a-ship". The interiors are contemporary, and families will love the Aqua Park and Sports complex. The links below provide access to more detailed information and lots of pictures of the new ship.
