This will be a big relief to all certified scuba divers who are going on cruises with itineraries that include such great scuba dive destinations as Cozumel and Grand Cayman.

New York Rivals Florida As Favorite Homeport for Cruise Lines
New York Rivals Florida As Favorite Homeport for Cruise Lines
As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, New York is a sought after vacation spot in its own right. In recent years, however, cruise lines have discovered the benefits - for their guests and themselves - of calling New York home.
Norwegian Cruise Line was one of the first cruise lines to temporarily homeport a ship (the Norwegian Dawn) in New York during winter. According to Andy Stuart, Norwegian Cruise Line's Executive Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Passenger Services, docking in New York started as a result of travel agent requests. What was then considered a wild card location soon became the permanent residence

For many of us personal computers and laptops have an important role in work and life. We all know that, and apparently cruise lines know that too. That is the reason why they put a lot of effort into facilities and services that will cover information technology needs of passengers.

Cruising from the States ? While Miami and Fort Lauderdale are the main ports for Caribbean cruises, it is worth remembering that cruises also operate from New Orleans. Norwegian Cruise Line has two ships based in New Orleans that make cruises to Mexico and the Caribbean. To reach New Orleans, you need to fly via another US hub, but there are plenty of flights available with Delta, American Airlines and Continental. The cruise terminal in New Orleans is a great deal quieter than those in Florida, and the city makes an interesting stop at one end of your cruise. Another option is to look at cruises from Los Angeles, because flights in the winter are fairly cheap. Mexico i

Italy Beats Hawaii As The Best Honeymoon Cruise Destination
Ask any bride-to-be and she'll quickly tell you that honeymoon dreams come true in Hawaii. This tropical paradise has been king of the hill when it comes to honeymoon destinations for nine straight years. But this year, the king was dethroned.

In previous years, Italy ranked third, but in the 11th annual Modern Bride survey for 2007, it surpassed Hawaii, followed by Tahiti, Costa Rica, Mexico and France. The 11th annual survey was conducted through a network of 6,000 luxury travel agents who ranked their 50 favorite honeymoon spots. The results appear in the magazine's August/September

Food is basically available round the clock. There are casual and formal meals. Large or private meals. Of course depending on the cruise line you choose will determine the quality of the food.

How To Live On A Cruise Ship Part Time
How To Live On A Cruise Ship Part Time
There has been a lot of buzz lately about living on a Cruise Ship full time as an alternative to living in a retirement home.
However, I don't think it would be very exciting after about 6 months or so.
Ships, even Cruise Ships, are noisy for at least 2 reasons:
1. Engine Noise.
No matter how new the ship, no matter what new turbine engines the ship may have, the 24 hour engine noise may get to people.
2. Parties, bars and restaurants.
There is always a kind of party atmosphere on a Cruise Ship, people eat and drink too much, nobody tells them when to go to bed, they don't have to get up the next morning, so, parties make noise.
It gets boring staring

From Chandris Cruise To Celebrity Cruise
From Chandris Cruise To Celebrity Cruise
The Chandris Line was the precursor of Celebrity Cruises. One of the ships operated by Chandris was the beautiful Liner America previously owned by the United States Line and initially captained by Demitrios Challioris who had been in charge of a crude oil tanker in Southampton.
Chandris bought the largest passenger liner ever in Greece called the Australis. The Australis had served extensively as a troop ship during the second world war so underwent a major refit and became a one-class configuration geared to carry 2300 passengers. The aft promenade decks were extended, a swimming poolwas added, and air conditioning was installed. She made 3 month voyages around t

This not only includes your cabin or room but also a meals, activities, use of the facilities and even entertainment.

Digital Camera On Cruise Ship Vacation
Digital Camera On Cruise Ship Vacation
Today's market is overwhelmed with tons of different models and new ones are being launched almost weekly. Top brands cover all aspects of digital photography as well as all types of users.
First choose the right camera and decide how many mega pixels (MP) resolution you want. Basic rule of thumb says that 2MP will give you film-quality photos up to 6x9 inches, 3MP up to 8x10, 4MP up to 11X14 inches and 5MP up to 14x17 inches. Of course, more mega pixels means more expensive camera so this choice depends on funds you have for this purchase. Amount of mega pixels is not the only thing that determines quality of pictures, though it is the most significant. However ther

Cruising Is The Popular Holiday Choice
Cruising Is The Popular Holiday Choice
Cruises are currently in the middle of a big resurgence in popularity. For a few years, it seemed like cruises might have been killed off by an age of ever-faster trains and cheap flights, but something about the romance and the luxury of the experience has managed to keep them alive. For most cruisers today, the cruise is no longer about a way to travel in style from one place to another ? instead, it's all about enjoying your time on the boat itself, living the sea life and relaxing on the ocean waves. This has led to a shift in focus, from trying to make the ship go as fast as possible to it taking weeks for it to get anywhere.

Cruise Discounts, Six Ways To Value
When planning any vacation, we all want to find the very best value possible. This is no different when planning a cruise vacation. Finding ? and getting ? cruise discounts is not that difficult. Not all cruise discounts however will give you the best value.

If you are flexible or if you simply want to ?get-away-from-it-all' then any discount will be a good one for you.

Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid Matey, the Origin of Pirate Flags
Although the origin of the pirate flag is unknown, it is generally thought that it was invented to strike fear in the hearts and minds of their enemies. The pirate flag, or "Jolly Roger" as it often called, was likely intended to scare their potential victims into a speedy surrender.

The classic skull and bones design was also often used in the Captain's log to indicate the death of a sailor. This flag was an important part of the pirate's armory, a
