Merry Christmas and a Cruisin' New Year!
I just wanted to put up a quick post to say thank you to my loyal readers of this blog (wherever you are!) and to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I know that times are tough for all of us right now, but I also want to encourage those of you who are thinking about traveling this coming year to go ahead and do so as soon as possible. The travel industry in general is struggling right now and there are some really tremendous deals out there. It looks like it may be a long, cold, snowy winter here in the Midwest, so why not take advantage of some great deals and head off towards warm and sunny weather during the next three or four months? You could be lying on a beach getting a tan or frolicking in the ocean, while the rest of us are stuck here shoveling snow!
Cruising continues to be a fantastic all-inclusive way to travel and a great value compared to land-based resorts, so I hope to see you sailing away on a luxurious cruise ship this coming year!
Once again, thank you to my loyal readers, and I wish everyone of you out there a Merry Christmas and a Cruisin' New Year!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow.... On a Cruise Ship?
Princess ships are now preparing for another festive season at sea, and according to the latest reports, weather conditions are again pointing to unusual snow flurries onboard. Princess Cruises debuted this concept last year to rave reviews, so they've decided to do it again. Snow (yes, SNOW!) will actually fall in the ship's atriums, transforming the ships into floating winter wonderlands throughout December.
"What's better than the romance of a white Christmas, especially when it's an unexpected surprise?" said Jan Swartz, Princess senior vice president. "Our snowfalls were such a huge hit last year that this has now become a new tradition on Princess ships."
Princess Cruises has developed an innovative snow-making process which creates falling snowflakes that vanish on contact, letting passengers enjoy the excitement of snow flurries without the need to bundle up. Princess' daily snowfall will occur on all ships except for the Pacific Princess, Tahitian Princess and Royal Princess, as these smaller ships do not have multi-story atriums.
The fun holiday experience doesn't end with the snow, however. The ships are all decked out in holiday decor with Christmas trees on the vessels' masts and carolers strolling throughout the decks. Passengers can get into the fun with the "gingerbread challenge," where teams try to construct the most creative gingerbread structure. Or they can test their holiday craft skills by creating a personalized photo ornament. And for those of us who are cutlery-challenged, guests can learn how to expertly carve a holiday turkey from the onboard culinary experts.
Sounds like fun to me! I think this is a really great idea and I'd love to experience it for myself. For those of you who can get away this holiday season but haven't made any plans yet, consider taking a Princess cruise and REALLY get into the holiday spirit!
