This cruise was a multi-generational cruise—grandparents, and adult children with a two-year old grandson. For Wendie and me, it was a last-minute decision to join them on their vacation on this mega-ship cruise and to check out the ship. Our first day, I looked at Wendie and told her I didn’t think this is going to be the cruise for us, but by day seven we were converts and had a wonderful time. Watching Torque in the Aqua Theater, I was amazed at just how far these production shows at sea have come.

This was a family cruise with my wife, sister, and brother-in-law to see the port towns and change in colors on the northeastern seashore. This was a reintroduction to cruising for my sister and brother-in-law, which they absolutely loved and didn’t want to leave the ship! The towns that we walked were great with lots to see and do. The color change wasn’t in full swing yet but still had wonderful views. We are also doing this same cruise as a group on the Majestic Princess in 2026 and wanted a preview!

This was a five-day cruise out of the Port of Tampa. My wife and I decided to take a quick cruise for our anniversary to unwind, relax, and be pampered for a few days. Enchantment of the Seas is Royal Caribbean Cruises' third-oldest Vision Class ship, revitalized in 2016.

This was a pre-cruise stop. We flew in to Madrid, took the subway to our hotel, and then explored this pleasantly walkable city for the next two days. As we walked around, I remember telling my wife that I could see us coming back to explore more of Madrid. One day, we took a quick train trip up to Segovia to walk around the city and grab a bite to eat. Lastly, it was a comfortable train ride to Barcelona with a chance to see the countryside before boarding our cruise ship.

This Vietnam and Cambodia Mekong River cruise was our annual special vacation planned to coincide with our 25th anniversary. The crew aboard The Jahan were truly amazing, greeting us by name as we boarded all the way through to disembarkation. At the time, the boat was only at half capacity so we got to know all of the passengers and even made Facebook friends that we still share our travels with. The twice daily guided tours introduced us to amazing people and two rich cultures that we continue to talk about and will treasure forever!

My son is stationed in Germany and lives in Amberg, so it gives my wife and I an opportunity to visit once or twice a year. Germany has an excellent public transit system, so getting around is fairly straight-forward. We have visited the Christmas Markets in winter and this last trip gave us the opportunity to stroll through the town, relax, and visit with family and friends over great food and beer!!
