I finally had the opportunity to cross the Atlantic Ocean on a cruise ship! It was a wonderful experience with a great itinerary, affordable pricing (as a SOLO cruiser), an incredible ship and even though the weather was unpredictable, the overall cruise was fantastic. I hope my experience inspires you to travel or go on a cruise, even if you have to do it alone. Don't wait for others, live you...

The final episode. What a wonderful cruise it was, regardless of not being able to visit Israel's Holy Land Wonders. I enjoyed every single port, even those that I had already visited. The ship is wonderful and the staff is amazing, most of them. Nothing is perfect but this cruise line always goes the extra mile. In my videos, I just share my experiences. I'm a solo traveler. Budget traveler. H...

Another two amazing days on our cruise, Limassol (Cyprus) and Rhodes (Greece). Lots of places to see, rich in culture and history. Gorgeous views! All that we want to have on a vacation, plus the cruise (Nieuw Statendam) as a beautiful hotel! Hope this encourages you to travel!
Alanya, Turkiye - My Holy Land & Ancient Kingdoms, Holland America 14-Day Cruise, October 2023
Переглядів 3155 місяців тому
Due to the unexpected military situation in Israel, Holland gave us Alanya in Turkiye (or Turkey) as a replacement port. It was a great substitution. It will never compare to what we were looking to experience in Israel but it is a beautiful place indeed. It is old and modern, and has beautiful beaches!!! Turkiye (or Turkey) is a little box of surprises!

Beautiful day at Heraklion, Crete, the largest and most populous of the Greek islands. First time visit. Arrived early in the morning. Went on a tour to the Palace of Knossos and then went through the city. Visited the Koules, Venetian fortress in the bay, and the Archaeological museum. Beautiful place!

Spectacular day in Mykonos, Greece. This is my second time there; however, thirty years apart. Beautiful as it was then. Always wanted to visit Delos and was finally done. Worth it. We were there the full day so I had time to spend a couple of hours walking and enjoying the beach and the cats.

    All I can say is join the crowd when it comes to catching Covid on a cruise.

I know of other friends who have also contacted this virus during or close to the end of their cruise.

    WOW, we had a wonderful experience by the end of May. We had a rough start, ship came in late and embarkation was a mess, took 2.5 hr to board. Didn't set sail till 6pm and the ship ended up missing port and switching itinerary. But that's Alaska and it worked out really well for us. We had sunny skies the entire time in Alaska and very comfortably warm in the high 50s and mid 60s. We saw whales not once but twice and the second time it was so close I can clearly see the markings on the tail fin. Food was ok and the buffet really need some work but the program was great. We had so much fun and I feel like I need more at sea day cause I didn't have enough time to do all the things I want to do.
