Mandatory cruise ship activities: 1. Eat. 2. Sleep. 3. Become the Cornhole champ. Cruising is all about setting priorities!

No seriously, we traded our work laptop for a sack of beans and the high seas. If you're not pausing to conquer the ship's Cornhole championship, are you even cruising right? 😉

Important reminder: "Important things" aren't always in an email. Sometimes they involve throwing little bags in a hole and soaking up the sun. Balance is everything!

Have you ever tried throwing small bean bags in a hole or any other "exciting" games at sea?

Hello Funchal! 🇵🇹
Our Transatlantic crossing aboard Celebrity Eclipse brought us to the sunny shores of Madeira, and we spent the day exploring beautiful Funchal!

From the cruise terminal it’s an easy 15–20 minute walk into town (or just a quick taxi ride if you’re saving your energy for sightseeing).

We wandered through the Mercado dos Lavradores, full of tropical fruit, flowers and local color, then stopped by the Funchal Cathedral, one of the island’s oldest landmarks with beautiful wood carvings inside. A walk through the old town led us to the bright yellow Forte de São Tiago, a 17th-century fortress that once guarded the harbor — and the best part? Entrance is free!

Add a cable car ride up to Monte for stunning views, and maybe a wild toboggan ride back down, and you’ve got the perfect day in Madeira. Finish it off with a glass of Madeira wine and some bolo do caco (garlic bread magic!) by the sea.
Até à próxima, Funchal!

Why fight rush hour when you can cruise hour? Our commute to the office takes less than 30 seconds... and involves a balcony and the open ocean. Traffic jam, what's that? We've officially peaked at 'work-life balance.' Sorry, not sorry, to everyone else on the freeway! 🚢💻🌊

Stateroom Jackpot!

Talk about a last-minute score! We booked this cruise just days before departure and lucked out with this incredible Accessible Stateroom aboard the Celebrity Eclipse.

While we don't personally require the accessible features, we are absolutely loving the extra space it provides! If you're looking for a luxury upgrade without the luxury price, this is it. We have so much room to spread out, get ready effortlessly, and never feel cramped.

The wide-open floor plan feels like a suite, the spacious bathroom is a dream, and having no step out to our expansive verandah just makes enjoying the ocean views that much easier. This stateroom is a testament to how comfortable cruising can be! Cheers to finding a fantastic, spacious sanctuary for our voyage.

Cruising Comfort & Accessibility Note

We are incredibly grateful for the extra space this room offers! We want to take a moment to acknowledge that accessible staterooms are a limited and vital resource for travelers with mobility needs. We always encourage those who genuinely require these specific features to prioritize booking them first, as they are a lifeline for a smooth, barrier-free vacation. For us, this extra space is just a very fortunate bonus!

NCL introduces a $5 Fee for a Second Entrée!

Norwegian Cruise Line is making a big change to its complimentary dining experience. Passengers will now face a $5 surcharge for ordering a second or any additional entrée in the main dining rooms. This quiet policy shift effectively ends the long-standing tradition of unlimited, complimentary main courses, a cruise hallmark!

NCL's move, which follows similar policies by MSC and Carnival, is reportedly driven by a dual goal: reducing food waste and generating ancillary revenue (a practice critics often call 'nickel-and-diming').

Critics feel it diminishes the 'all-inclusive' value and worry about portion sizes, while others see it as a necessary deterrent for waste and a minimal fee.

What do YOU think? Let us know in the comments!
➡️ Is this $5 fee a good measure against food waste, or simply a case of 'nickel-and-diming'?
➡️ Do you find main dining room portions on cruises to be too small, just right, or even too large?

NCL introduceert $5 toeslag voor een tweede hoofdgerecht!

Norwegian Cruise Line voert een grote wijziging door in haar gratis dinerervaring. Passagiers betalen voortaan een toeslag van $5 voor een tweede of extra hoofdgerecht in de hoofdrestaurants. Deze beleidswijziging maakt een einde aan de jarenlange traditie van onbeperkte, gratis hoofdgerechten, een kenmerk van de klassieke cruisevakantie!

Deze stap van NCL, die volgt op soortgelijke maatregelen van MSC en Carnival, zou gedreven zijn door een dubbel doel: verminderen van voedselverspilling en genereren van extra inkomsten (wat sommigen 'nickel-and-diming' noemen).

Critici vinden dat het de 'all-inclusive' waarde vermindert en maken zich zorgen over kleine porties. Anderen zien het als een noodzakelijke afschrikking tegen verspilling en een minimale vergoeding.

Wat vind JIJ? Laat het ons weten in de reacties! ➡️ Is deze $5 toeslag een goede maatregel tegen voedselverspilling, of is het gewoon weer een voorbeeld van 'nickel-and-diming'?
➡️ Vind je de porties in de hoofdrestaurants op cruises over het algemeen te klein, precies goed, of zelfs te groot.
