Royal Caribbean’s main dining room menu rotates nightly through an assortment of menus that are shared across their ships, usually coordinated with the ports they are sailing to and the tastes of the main demographics on board the ships. That said, I’ve seen many of the same menus across multiple ships in different ports so … Lee mas
The islands of the South Pacific make for beautiful travel destinations, and the ability to cruise to them makes it so much easier to see them, or parts of them at least. Islands like Vanuatu’s Mystery Island and New Caledonia’s Loyalty Islands can be very expensive and difficult to get to via any other mode … Lee mas
So, you’ve booked yourself a cruise on a big, beautiful cruise ship.

The Dragon Lady is one of the complimentary speciality dining options onboard P&O Australia’s entire fleet of cruise ships. It is an inspired ala carte dining option with dishes from all over Asia including Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and India.

This way, we can watch them whenever we feel like it without needing to purchase an internet package onboard a cruise. Of course, if you don’t pre-download anything, the … Lee mas
En septiembre y octubre de 2018, hicimos un viaje por carretera de 32 días alrededor de la Isla Norte de Nueva Zelanda, seguido de un crucero de 10 días que nos llevó de regreso a Australia a través de la Isla Sur de Nueva Zelanda. Lo sé, 32 días parece mucho para gastar solo en la Isla Norte de Nueva Zelanda, ¿verdad? Especialmente teniendo en cuenta que volvemos a visitar algunos de esos lugares en el siguiente crucero de 10 días a casa. Sin embargo, en realidad hay muchos lugares para ver y cosas que hacer aquí que a menudo se pasan por alto.
