Tips for cruising the right cruise. There are so many cruise options available so it can be sometimes difficult to choose the right one . Where to go, which port to take the cruise, the type of onboard experience you prefer are all questions on your mind when considering a cruise. And don’t forget the big one - PRICE. While money is no object to some of us, most of us need a good deal most of the time. Here are some tips for choosing the right cruise
  1. Timing. If you are after a good deal the best cruise dates would be outside the prime periods which are January to March

  1. Style. What is your style or what do you prefer? You may want to avoid the party scene and opt for a more mature experience. Some cruises cater to different needs so do your research so you can pick the cruise that best suits you.

  1. Length. How long do you want to be on a cruise. Cruises can be as short as 3 days to several months. Of course the longer ones will cost more, so pick the cruise based on the length of time you prefer

  1. Where to. Will it be a Caribbean cruise or a European, South American or Mediterranean cruise? There are so many choices but why not do all of them at different times of course.

Cruising gets into your blood and after your first cruise you will find you have become a kind of addict.

There is a marked absence of vegetables and coleslaw seems to be the closest thing to green you will see. Don't expect any special treatment if you are vegan or gluten free . You don't always get what is on the menu as it seems they are not always able to prepare what you ask for and bluntly tell you they can't get you what's on the menu without giving a reason. I ate there once and had the fish and chips which was okay. Service at the Cattail Service was mixed when I visited. The serving staff behind the counter were pleasant enough but not very accommodating. I asked if they had veggie burgers and the guy looked at...

St Malo Provincial Park ©Ashauntae(2020) St Malo Beach Having just acquired our first motorhome , it was time to start planning trips to campgrounds.

It seems like due to COVID-19 and stay at home orders, campgrounds had become a high demand commodity. ©Ashauntae(2020) Tiffen Allegro Motorhome With perservance we managed to find three nights in the St Malo Provincial park in mid July.

pirate museum, Nassau, Bahamas, image Ashauntae Located in the heart of downtown Nassau is the Pirate Museum and a must see for tourists who want a glimpse into the history of piracy especially as it relates to the Caribbean.  Inside the museum you will find a true replica pirate ship which hosts most of the exhibits on two floors. Enter if you dare. It can be like entering a haunted house with sights and sounds of an era past on a pirate ship. The first room on the ship belongs to the ship's carpenter who had the most important job on the ship. The ship holds many historical facts about famous pirates, their conquests and their demise. There are replica jails, re-enactment image  of a gruesome surgery at sea, and other pirate artifacts. On the outside of the museum you can take your photo locked in the stocks. All in all it was a very informative experience.
