The 2013 Bud Light Cruise is Actually the Bud Light Hotel 2014
The Bud Light Cruise – particularly the Bud Light Cruise of 2014 – is one of the single greatest things we’ve learned about recently. (The Bud Light Cruise of 2013 was also great, but the cruise of 2014 sounds particularly excellent.) Most obviously, it is a cruise that involves lots of Bud Light, but this year, there as an additional component: it will be docked in New York City for this year’s Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium (making the Bud Light Cruise more like the Bud Light Hotel). For a certain type of person – essentially, an American male – the Bud Light Cruise sounds like a cruise experience to end all cruise experiences. Below we outline the Bud Light Cruise, both in general and with special reference to the Bud Light 2014 Cruise. Read more […] -
Cruises from Boston
The Port of Boston is a major U.S. port with a storied history. It’s the oldest port in the Western Hemisphere that has remained continuously active, and it is also the site of the celebrated Boston Tea Party. As far as ports go, it’s famous, and it’s also fairly well known in the cruise world because it is a major departure point for cruises to New England and Canada. There are many cruises that depart from Boston, although only for part of the year. Cruises from Boston are also quite diverse in that five cruise lines, two of which are luxury lines, operate ships out of the port – many different styles of cruising can be had on the ships sailing from Boston. Since it’s hard to keep track of all the cruises from Boston, we’ve provided an overview of them below to give you a sense of what’s available. Read more […] -
Things to See and Do When You Are Leaving on a Cruise from the Port City of Boston
The Port of Boston is well-known, not only because it is the oldest continually active port in the Western Hemisphere, but also because it is the location of one of the most famous events in U.S. history: the Boston Tea Party. What is perhaps not so well known about the Port of Boston is that it is the point of departure for a number of different cruises. It is, indeed, a major cruise ship port, albeit only during the summer season (approximately May to October). So, if you are taking a cruise from the East Coast, especially one that goes north to other parts of New England and Canada, there is a reasonably good chance you’ll sail from the Port of Boston, and if this is the case, you might want to know what there is to see and do in the port city of Boston. Below we supply precisely this information. Read more […] -
Things to See and Do When You Are Leaving on a Cruise from the Port City of Baltimore
Baltimore is generally not regarded as a cruise departure point, but it does have a major port from which two cruise ships sail year round: the Carnival Pride and the Grandeur of the Seas, part of the Carnival fleet and the Royal Caribbean fleet, respectively. In case you find yourself traveling to the port of Baltimore for a cruise, we have listed a few things you can see and do during your stay in the city. We have also supplied some information about the cruises that depart from this port, as the sights and attractions of Baltimore might be the very things that draw you to depart from there.

Mississippi River Cruises: An Overview
Cruise vacations are deeply intertwined with the experience of being at sea, and rightfully so, as cruises are generally affairs that take place on the ocean. However, cruises can take place on other bodies of water, including rivers, provided the river is large enough to accommodate a ship that might meaningfully be called a “cruise ship.” One river that is definitely large enough is the Mississippi River, and there are plenty of cruises that sail along it. Mississippi River cruises take a number of different forms: they can be long or short, take place in a large ship or a small ship, cover most of the river or only a small portion, and so on. A Mississippi River cruise can also emphasize different things; some Mississippi River cruises are essentially quick sightseeing trips, whereas others are primarily slow, leisurely trips down the Mississippi. In this article, we sort out all you need to know about Mississippi River cruises. Read more […] -
Things to See and Do When You Are Leaving on a Cruise from the Port City of Bayonne
If people know of Bayonne, New Jersey at all, they probably know it as a port city. That’s how we know of it, and that is likely how other people who are interested in the cruise industry know of it as well. Three cruise ships sail from the city, and between the three vessels cruise vacations are offered all year long from Bayonne. Thanks primarily to the activity of Royal Caribbean’s two ships, the Legend of the Seas and the Explorer of the Seas, which offer the vast majority of the cruises out of New Jersey, the Bayonne port is actually a fairly major port for cruise ships. (The Celebrity Summit is the other ship that sails out of Bayonne, but it doesn’t offer nearly as many cruises as the combined total of Royal Caribbean’s sailings.) Given that lots of people sail out of this port, we figured it would be helpful to let people know what things they can do and see before they leave the Bayonne port. If you find yourself in Bayonne awaiting the departure of your cruise, here are few things – sights, attractions, etc. – that might help you pass the time. Read more […]
