THE BEST LUXURY CRUISE LINES


 I BEGAN WRITING THIS POSTING THREE DAYS AGO...THEN OUR SHIP ENTERED A DEAD ZONE...UNTIL NOW.  I'll probably have another article later today if the Wi-Fi works.  We just arrived in Phuket, Thailand.

Earlier this year Cruise Travel Outlet reported on the Best Luxury Cruise Lines.  At the top was Regent Seven Seas.  They said:

All four cruise ships of Regent Seven Seas feature all-suite accommodation, cozy retreats that’ll feel like home, whether you’re at sea for 7 or 120 days. What sets this cruise line apart is its staffing—there’s one crew member for every one or two guests. When they’re not indulging in great food and spa treatments, passengers can join programs about the culture and cuisine of each cruise’s destinations.

Their fleet consists of 6-star, all-suite and all-balcony ships, all featuring plenty of amenities. Complimentary WiFi is available throughout each ship, while other features range from open-air pool decks and Regent Choice Shore Excursions to the Smithsonian Collection and show lounge with Broadway musicals, cabaret shows and circus-style performances.


Further:

Cruises starting at only $3,399 pp

Then in order were Viking, Cunard, Oceania, Azamara Club, Seabourn, Windstar, Silverstar and Atlas Ocean.  As our next adventure will be on Seabourn in March of next year, here's what they said:

A multi-award-winning cruise line, Seabourn consistently ranks as one of the best luxury cruise lines on earth. This is, in fact, an ultra-luxury cruise line, its small ships characterized by and famed for their unparalleled grace and elegance. This is the company that basically pioneered this particular type of cruising. Based in Seattle, Seabourn operates all over the world. Its voyages can take you to places like the Caribbean, but also literally around the world (in more than 100 days).

The Seabourn ships can accommodate between 208 and 450 guests, which allows for a much more personal approach and top-notch service. There are only ocean-view suites on board, which feature luxuriously appointed furniture and decorations.

From the moment you step on the ship, you’ll notice the elegance and luxury that characterizes Seabourn. The complimentary welcome Champagne certainly helps! Afterward, all other spirits and fine wines are complimentary at all times, too.


To confirm, Points Guy just last month listed, not in any particular order, the 4 best luxury cruise lines for elegance and exclusivity:  Atlas Ocean, Silverseas, Regent Seven Seas and Seabourne, pretty much verifying the first comparison.  You never heard of Atlas because it debuted last year, offering upscale experiences on small ships up to 196 passengers.  They began with the World Navigator, and will soon  have available the World Traveller.

Well, that's it for now.

HONOLULU TO SEATTLE

The story of the day is Hurricane Milton, now a Category 4 at 145 MPH, with a track that has moved further south and the eye projected to make landfall just south of Sarasota.  Good news for Tampa, which is 73 miles north.  Milton will crash into Florida as a Category 4, and is huge, so a lot of problems can still be expected in Tampa Bay with storm surge.  If the eye had crossed into the state just north of Tampa, the damage would have been catastrophic.  Milton is a fast-moving storm, currently at 17 MPH, so as bad as the rainfall will be over Florida, again, a blessing.  The eye will make landfall around 10PM EDT today, and will move into the Atlantic Ocean north of Palm Bay Thursday morning. My first trip to Seattle was in June of 1962 just after I graduated from Stanford University.  Caught a bus. Was called the  Century 21 Exposition .  Also the Seattle World's Fair.  10 million joined me on a six-month run.  My first. These a...

OSAKA EXPO: Day One

Well, the day finally came for us to go to the Osaka Expo.  We were told ahead of time that the long walks would be fearful, giant lines will need to be tolerated just to get into the Expo, with those ocean breezes, it would really be cold, and so forth. Maybe it was pure luck, but we avoided all the above warnings  We had a grand day, and are looking forward to Sunday, our second day at the Expo.  So come along for an enjoyable ride. Our hotel is adjacent to the Tennoji Station, a very large one with several lines.  We upgraded our Suica card and caught the Misosuji red line towards Umeda. Transferred to the Chuo green line at the Hommachi Station.  This Osaka Metro train took us to the Yumeshima Station at the Expo site.   It was a very large mob leaving the train and heading to the entrance. Took only a few minutes to get to the entrance.  This mob was multiplied by at least a factor of  ten of those already waiting to enter.  However...

WHY YOU SHOULD CONVERT TO A JAPANESE HIGH TECH TOILET

Did you know that   Oktoberfest   in Germany is mostly in September?  The very first day of Oktoberfest 2021 was supposed to be today, September 18, extending into October 3.  Well, as in 2020, Oktoberfest was cancelled. So why is it called by that month when it is held mostly in September?  The first celebration in 1810 was in October. Did you also know that Oktoberfest is held only in Munich?  These days seven million drink more than a liter ( about three typical cans ) of beer each, costing around $11.  Except for my wife and I when we followed the crowd to board the S-Bahn to the fairgrounds near Old Town.  It was drizzling a bit.  We bought a large pretzel outside of a typical barn where beer is served.  We did not know that you needed to get this inside the hall.  So no one came to serve us beer.  After a while we decided to have lunch, and the restaurant we settled on only served wine.  Thus, we might have been the ...
