I was wondering how many others on this board love Transatlantics as much as we do, and why. We love the value for money on these wonderful long cruises. Also the fact that we really feel like we have had a vacation!!! How about you??

Since I started this blog back in 2011 working for Carnival Cruise Lines… I wanted to reflect a little about my time on ships. Although its only fair to say that over 8 years ago when I started ( Jan 2010 ) on the Carnival Freedom, I have actually only been on ships a total of 30 months ( 2 1/2 years) out of 8. The other 5 1/2 years I have been traveling and visiting all of the people I met on ships and playing gigs to cover that cost. This was my new life… driving, staying with friends/family, not really having a home. The opportunity for working with P&O Australia came in 2014 and I jumped at the opportunity to spend time down under.... little did I know it would be another life changing journey. P&O wanted to do an artist feature of me on their facebook and I made a video for them to highlight it. Check it out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzfsDd2LDn0&t You never know where life will take you... you wouldn't even believe what my life was like before ships... (and ill get to that another time) So get out there... cruise to exotic places and invite the musician to your town to play ?

Hi Jason! Thanks So Much for the Welcome! I’ve been everywhere you mentioned, that’s what I do in between cruises. Glad you like my “neighborhood”. Lol I love the desert in the winter, but actually prefer Florida’s hot weather and humidity! Be ready for HOT weather next month, for sure! Sea Ya Around The Desert?!?! A.J.

Nice going! Keep booking! ? Virgin Voyages will be sailing beginning in 2020, building her now. Itineraries are not known yet, but the ship will be sailing out of the Port of Miami. They are accepting deposits for future bookings. The verdict is still in limbo about the Celebrity Edge, so please return and report! Viking River Cruises depends on itinerary, let us know where, or if you want any suggestions. Great to Sea Ya Cruising, A.J.

Hello, and thanks for the welcome! Definitely am blessed and humbled by my cruising record. I would be willing to answer any and all questions related to cruising, just bear in mind I’m brutally honest and opinionated! Lol Seriously, my current bucket list is to book a Virgin Voyages cruise in 2020. Sea Ya! A.J.

Welcome Aboard, A.J.! You definitely do fit right in - I just booked a November cruise because I knew I couldn't last between my late August cruise and my February 2019 cruise! And you definitely are NOT new to cruising, with over 50 cruises under your belt? Would love to hear about some of your favorites...itineraries...cruise lines/ships....what is still on your bucket list - so hope you will post more and help us get to know you better!

I know! Just realized I have 4 cruises booked! Lol I’m definitely going to fit in!!!! ?
