Why I Fell in Love with Cruising
Barbados
I fell in love with cruising on my very first cruise vacation. I went by myself to sail the Southern Caribbean out of San Juan, Puerto Rico almost 5 years ago. To this day, it is one of the most memorable vacations of my life. Possibly for two reasons……  it was my first time on a large cruise ship and it was my very first vacation on my own. After returning home from my voyage, I knew that this would become important in my life, I just wasn’t sure how. I met my husband shortly before I went on this first cruise and he encouraged me to make more of this passion by making it a business. Not long after we took our first cruise together, I made Curious Compass a reality. We are embarking on our 7th cruise this fall with a New England/Canadian itinerary to see the leaves changing and eat some fresh seafood :) My love of cruising grows with each cruise we embark on.  I love to help others plan their dream cruise vacation so they can share in the joy I have found in vacationing aboard a cruise ship.
Cruising has so much to offer. There are so many exotic ports to visit, from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean to the South Pacific to Alaska and pretty much anywhere in the world you could dream to visit. Cruising makes it easy to see many places without having to pack and un-pack each time you change your location. I love waking up in a different port every day. The days at sea are also an enjoyment for my husband and I. We tend to use these days to catch up on rest and reading a good book with the sound of the ocean as a backdrop.  The entertainment onboard is extensive, from Broadway shows and shopping talks to poker tournaments and pool parties, karaoke and much, much more. Most of the entertainment is included in the cruise fare. Always one of the highlights of our cruise vacation is the Love and Marriage show, hysterical, a must see that leaves us laughing for most of the evening. Ready to experience your first cruise?  I would love to help you plan! Â
Happy Sailing 🙂
