I love all types of cruising. From small boats to large ships, I am happiest on the water. I am sharing stories and photos from my cruising experiences all over the world.

All My Memorable Majestic Princess Dining Options Including the Chef’s Table

Sharing my all the Majestic Princess dining expereinces from my three week cruise across the Pacific.

I love sea days, which is why my cruises on the Majestic Princess were some of my most memorable.

I sailed on the Majestic Princess on a 21 day transpacific cruise from Los Angeles to Auckland, New Zealand, and also on a 14-day transatlantic cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona.  These were both wonderful cruises with lots of lazy sea days and plenty of time to just relax. For me, the Majestic was the perfect ship for such a long, laid-back trip.

In this extensive Majestic Princess review, I share my expereinces onboard after cruising twice on long repositioning cruises. I also share a lot of photos of one of my favorite Princess ships.

I’ve sailed on the Majestic Princess on two long repositioning cruises and have loved my experiences each time. The first time was a transpacific from Los Angeles to Auckland, and the second, most recent cruise, was a transatlantic from Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona.

The Majestic Princess has become one of my favorite Princess ships, and now, after its most recent drydock renovations, it’s even better.

Dining Like a Princess – All the Regal Princess Dining Options Including the Chef’s Table Experience

In this Regal Princess dining review I share the many dining options available on a Regal Princess cruise, including my Chef’s Table experience

I certainly didn’t lack for food choices on my Regal Princess cruise. Good food is an important aspect of a cruising experience, and each person has their own idea of what constitutes a good meal.

I am somewhat of a foodie, but I also like a tasty burger and fries. With the many food options on board a Princess ship, I had no trouble finding something good to eat as I toured around the British Isles.

Cruising Like a Princess – A Complete Regal Princess Cruise Review With Photos

In this Regal Princess cruise review I share my detailed expereinces on this beautiful Royal Class ship, including lots of photos.

I was lounging in a deck chair with an Irish coffee in hand, tucked under a cozy blanket, and watching a movie on the big screen as the sun set behind me.

I do not think of myself as a princess – quite the contrary. But occasionally, I do like being treated like one. For a little while, it’s nice to have someone else make my bed, cook my meals, and bring me a specialty drink when I am in the mood for one.

A cruise gives me all this and more. I love being on the water. I love feeling the ship’s gentle rocking under my feet. I love staring at the ocean and watching the sunshine play on the waves. And I love feeling and smelling the salty breeze when I am on deck. Being on a ship gives me a sense of serenity that I don’t normally feel when I am on land.

There are many reasons to take a cruise, and a never-ending supply of good food is certainly one of them. On a recent cruise to Norway, I tried many of the Sky Princess specialty restaurants, along with the included Sky Princess dining options. I also had a chance to try the much sought-after Chef’s Table dinner experience.

Cruising Sky High With Princess – A Complete Sky Princess Review With Photos

In this sky Princess review I am sharing my personal cruise experience with lots of information about the ship, the itinerary and the excursions I did, including many photos for inspiration.

As I sit on my balcony, drink in hand, I am mesmerized by the scenery that slips by. On this day, it’s not the typical frothy ocean blue. Today, the water is a calm, deep, sapphire shade, reflecting the surrounding emerald green slopes where waterfalls slip and slide for hundreds of feet and little, red-roofed cottages look like something out of a fairy tale.

I am cruising through Norway’s longest fjord, and I wish this day would never end!

Penguins and Ice and So Much More – My Favorite Princess Cruise Antarctica Photos

These are some of my favorite Princess cruise Antarctica photos from my trip on the Sapphire Princess that took me around South America and to the Antarctic peninsula. It was quite the scenic adventure.

To say that I took a lot of photos on a Princess cruise to South America and Antarctica is a huge understatement. But if this was going to be a once-in-a-lifetime trip, then I was going to make sure I captured every moment.

The feature photo for this post was recognized with an Honorable Mention award in the Landscape and Nature category in the 2023 North American Travel Journalists Association Excellence in Travel Journalism competition.

“This is unlike any other cruise you have experienced before! It’s an adventure and we are all explorers!” – Captain Todd McBain of the Sapphire Princess.

I wasn’t on board the ship for very long before the captain set the tone for the next 16 days – and he was right, it certainly was an unforgettable adventure!
