The Perfect Hawaiian Cruise Vacation

Since my wife, Terri, was a little girl, one of her wildest dreams was to one-day experience a magical vacation to Hawaii.  When I married Terri, the girl of my dreams, I told her that I would show her the world.  Following through with my promise, I’ve taken her to China, Norway, the Caribbean, and Alaska, but the dream destination from her childhood still called out to…

Seven Seas Mariner Review

Early morning June 17th we packed our bags, my wife Terri and I, and my son Jacob departed Minneapolis non-stop for Vancouver to embark on an Alaska cruise adventure aboard Regent’s Seven Seas Mariner.

The Norwegian Pearl Experience

I wish I would have kept a writing blog during the cruise on the Norwegian Pearl, but I was too busy, and I don't have a lap top yet. I did complete the editing of the Norwegian Pearl Experience for Cruising Authority so if you haven't listened to the show, I want to encourage you to do so, because we have some nice interviews with key people on the ship like the Captain and the Cruise Director. This cruise on the Noregian Pearl was interesting for me, because I had not been on an NCL ship in a… Continue

Review of the Eurodam

It was a short cruise out of New York City aboard a brand new ship called the Eurodam, Holland America's first Signature-Class vessel. I brought my wife, who has never been to New York so I was thrilled to show her around the usual spots like Times Square, the Brooklyn Bridge, ground zero, the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. It was a whirl wind trip, but well coordinated like a fine time-piece. Cruising Authority the Talkshow has become the most listened-to cruise-related… Continue

Cruising Authority has been quite the journey!

Why did I start this talkshow? First of all, I love to talk about the cruise industry, and talk with those who are involved with the cruise industry. If you've never been on a cruise...I like to talk with you too! It all started when a buddy of mine from college invited me to be a guest on his talkshow. I enjoyed the interview, and thought to myself, hey, I can do that. It wasn't long before I began to experiment with some interviews. My first interview was with a long-time friend of mine who I… Continue
