/

With cruise lines looking for clever onboard features and offerings, it is no surprise that NCL has come up with a few adventurous activities. We all found it revolutionary when Dzisney came out of the Aqua Duck water ride. RCCL introduced the Flowrider and I-fly and for those who want to try out sky diving and surfing.
Read MoreMy Visit To UNICO, Riviera Maya
/
To say that the all-inclusive market is saturated is an understatement. In order tobreak through the clutter, particularly in Cancun and Riviera Maya, a resort has to be truly different. Unico, as its name implies – is unique – from the overall ambiance, to the inclusion of spa, hair and nail treatments, to the favorable price point...
Read MoreCruising In True Ritz Carlton Fashion!

The Celebrity Silhouette embarked on her maiden voyage in 2007. Although she carries 2886 passengers – she is not considered a mega ship, but a mere baby in comparison to RCCL’s Oasis class – which is almost double her size.

GUITLY. Yes, I am guilty of basing my opinion of Paradisus Palma Real on a visit I made there many years ago – before they were truly ready to welcome incentive guests.
