Caribbean Cruise 2026 part three

~ Spence's Girl ~ Leave a comment

The moon over the ocean is pure magic. I make it a point to get up before daybreak to catch sunrises when on a cruise.

One morning well before daylight, I got to enjoy the moon reflecting in the sea below. Mesmerized, I sat on my balcony with a steaming cup of tea and watched the sky until sunrise. I’ll never know if any other passengers were up that early to see it.

It might’ve just been me and the moon enjoying each other‘s company, sharing a moment…

As the sun came up, the moon hung over this cluster of clouds for a while longer. Stunning.

For a foodie, cruise food is always a treat and this trip was no exception. From hearty breakfasts to salads, appetizers and dinners, the offerings were beautifully plated and delicious while the desserts were decadent and (almost) too pretty to eat.

Back from my latest cruise, this time New England (Newport, Boston, Bar Harbor) to Halifax. Sailing on the Enchanted Princess was special, it was the ship I took my first-ever cruise on earlier this year.

Shrimp and Avocado
Orange Soufflé – only served at lunch on embarkation day
Prosecco, my go-to on cruises
Discovered Bellini’s, bar on deck 7
Giuseppe l’Orange
Raspberry Romance – per Stefano my bartender, the most popular drink at Bellini’s

Stay tuned for more on this trip…..

Cruising Alaska – onboard the ship

~ Spence's Girl ~ Leave a comment

My first-ever cruise was in April on the Enchanted Princess and this recent Alaskan cruise was on its sister ship, Discovery Princess. I love the layout of the ship which was familiar to me though I have to admit I got lost a few times.

I wanted to share some photos of fun on the ship in this post. We saw Rock Opera, Spotlight Bar and the ABBA tribute show – all were excellent and we also did the Yes/No show one evening – always funny. Several of my group attended a cooking demo followed by a tour of the ship’s galley. The galley tour was fascinating and the cooking demo, done by the Chef and Manager of Restaurant Operations was hilarious – they could have careers as stand up comedians!
