Retirement Cruises
Norwegian Bliss Mexican Riviera March 2023
2023 Mexican Riviera is in the books. Great little trip to see and spend some time with the kiddo. We enjoyed some nice time together, a spectrum of food from blah to yah and some good music and laughs. Do to the success of this trip, we may need to plan another.
On the downside and unlike the other cruises, we souvenired a case of Covid back with us to Texas. The price we pay for a good time.

Norwegian Cruise Hawaii June 2022
June of 2022 we sailed on the Pride of America visiting 4 of Hawaii’s beautiful islands (Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai). This ship is the only US ship in the world and an all American crew. I low bid a cabin upgrade 2 months ago and since they were sailing at 50% staff and guests, we got the upgrade to Penthouse with large balcony. The way we were treated, it will be hard to get just a regular cabin in the future. Very nice accommodations and kudos to the crew for many perks and outstanding treatment. This cruise has been one of our favorite large liner cruises and we have already pre-purchased a deposit for the next Norwegian Cruise. (I get no money from this promotion)
After the cruise, we spent an additional five days in Honolulu, Oahu. Those pics are towards the end.
Carnival Dream April 2022
Sailed on the Carnival Dream with Mom and John. Due to connectivity, I was not able to update the blogs very well but here are some shots of the trip. This 8 day cruise started in Galveston and sailed to Key West, Freeport, Half Moon Cay, and Nassau then back to Galveston.
Triple Net March 2022
This Florida cruise with PawPaw Bob and Joani aboard the Triple Net has recently been completed. During the trip from Key West to Boca Grande, we stopped in both the Tortugas National Park and Naples, FL. The Triple Net had a crew of 4 including Captain Sam, First Mate Bobby, Chef Ryan and Stewardess Janie. It is a 92′ yacht with a 3000 gallon fuel capacity and we average 11 knots during the trip.
