Q – We enjoyed your site – spent three hours on it last night. I suspect we are younger than your average reader and we have taste buds that are still in their prime. We work them out fairly regularly in the Santa Monica area. We are going to do our first cruise this summer…
Q – We are drilling down to make a decision on choosing a ship for a 2018 Around-The-World sailing. Can we book this through you and can you help us decide? We’re looking for a sailing that might be really elegant, I’ve had a very good year in the market, a bit dressy from time…
Q – Good day and thank you for your efforts on this site. It is wonderful.. We work with an Ensemble agency and they have us on some great mailing lists so we see a lot of the new offers. We just received one announcing a series of upcoming sailings that will go to Cuba….
Q – We have close friends who want us to join them on a cruise that spends three days in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. We enjoy downtown Chicago, where we have retired, and, quite frankly, my wife has some safety concerns about traveling right now to Israel. I am wondering what your writers feel about…

Q – My wife and I are booked on a cruise that will spend three days in St. Petersburg, Russia. We are trying to decide whether or not to take a local tour or stay with cruise ship tours. Who would take better care of us if one of us became ill? We are both…
Q – Don’t know if you can answer this but, as a CPA, I am really curious about the profit, if any, that cruise lines can make from the spending guests do once aboard the ship. My wife and I have never sailed any of the line son the Top Ten List, but we have…
Q – It seems like a lot of the cruise lines are cutting out the Midnight Buffets. We are working our way up to one of the five-star, inclusive small ships you write about but we’re trying to find one that has midnight buffets. A – Sorry – they have gone the way of Bingo…
Q – We love , absolutely love your site(s). Hope you can continue forever. But, sad to say, we haven’t cruised since an awful big ship experience in 2012. We sailed a ship where our fellow passengers were rude and dressed like slobs. But the worst part was that we had an “assigned” table with…
