Barcelona Cruise Passengers – Planning a Modern Architecture Tour
Posted by Cruise Ships For Sale in Cruising on December 11, 2009
Luckily for those passengers docking into Barcelona for the day, most of the Modernista architecture can be viewed within a day. Barcelona is a very accessible city, with public transport being both cheap and easy to use. The easiest way to head into the heart of the Modernista’s paradise is hopping on the green line metro, line 3, a short stroll from the cruise terminal to the bottom of Las Ramblas – the old town’s main thoroughfare. From here, take just 4 stops up to Diagonal metro stop and walk outside onto Passieg de Gracia.
Cruise Fun; Cruise Smart

When you really think about it, taking a cruise really can be one of the most economical vacations available. Your price typically includes cabin, all meals, entertainment, kids' programs, gym/sauna, jogging track, and other amenities. However, there are some very important pointers you must follow to prevent your cruise vacation from becoming a yawning money pit you will greatly regret.
1) Do your homework or get your travel agent to do his/her homework in comparing cruise lines and cruise packages. There is a vast array of them. Make darn sure the quote includes port fees and taxes. Many a traveler has had their bubble burst when they realized the price they were quoted was the basic cost before fees.
Finding the Cheapest Cruise Vacation Packages
Posted by Cruise Ships For Sale in Cruising on December 9, 2009
Hey, I understand. In these economic times, most people don't cruise-shop for the most extravagant cruise, the one that hits the most ports, or the one with the biggest liners. They go for the one that offers good quality at the lowest prices. And no one can blame the public for this. So who offers the best overall prices?
As recently as the early 1990s, Premier Cruise Line offered some of the most reasonable cruise prices available. They'd specialized in purchasing older ocean liners and converting them into cruise ships, primarily around the tropics. Premier began transporting scads of people to Disney World and was raking in money like autumn leaves. Disney even allowed them to bring Mickey and Goofy on board as guests to charm the families. But then, alas, Disney initiated its own cruise line and yanked the cartoon characters. Then, to make things worse for Premier, Carnival, Norwegian Cruise Lines, and Royal Caribbean began a massive building program of new liners. They grew so large that they could undercut almost any discount cruises Premier put out there. The company finally folded in September of 2000.
How do Top Cruise Lines Stack up?

Trying to decide which cruise line is best is almost like trying to announce the best NFL team in a partisan crowd. So try to remember that this article is based on an unofficial rating of some of the major cruise lines. In fact, the selection of a line depends much on what a particular customer is looking for. Some think the cheapest cruise is the best, or the most luxurious, or the most kid-friendly, or the one providing the finest service. So try to read this article with these concepts in mind. Your top-rated cruise line may not be your neighbor's. On one web site, cruisers rated cruise lines with the following criteria: Food, Entertainment, Activities, Staff, Accommodations, and Value. I only chose the lines that had at least 25 reviews. Here's how they ranked:

6 Tips for Choosing Boat Electronics
Posted by Cruise Ships For Sale in Cruising on December 7, 2009
So you've found the perfect boat. Now you're ready to outfit it with boating electronics. Choosing from amoung the vast array of units is great but may at times seem overwhelming.
Much will depend on the type of boater you are and the type of electronics you use in general. Can you read charts and the stars, or will you only want the best in electronic navigation? Do you plan to leave all civilization behind when on the boat or do you want a phone and email contact? Do you have a favored boat electronics brand, or would you rather cherry pick the best from several different brands? Know yourself, your boating plans, and your general attitude toward electronic gadgetry, and you'll have an easier time choosing how to outfit your boat.
Picking the most suitable boating electronics can not only make your boating trips more fun and your fishing more productive, but it can be important to your safety as well in the event of an emergency. Learning to use your electronic equipment is equally as important as choosing it. And that means you'll have to take the time to learn how to use the equipment whether it's from instructional videos, manuals, or having someone show you how to use it.
