For my second day at sea out of three, I was woken up early by the gentle swaying of the ship as we sailed through the Caribbean Sea. My waking by the sea was less “violent” as it had been earlier in the cruise. Due to the position of my stateroom, which is very far […]
The Carnival Breeze arrived in Aruba early in the morning yesterday. By the time I had woken up, the ship’s crew were already preparing the mooring lines to be tied up at the dock. Looking towards the city of Oranjestad from my balcony, I knew our final port day would once again turn out to […]
I woke up this morning looking out the window of my balcony stateroom. All I saw was the blue sky, the dark blue water of the Caribbean, and the bright green island of the Dominican Republic. Shortly, we docked in La Romana, our second port of call. Shortly after docking, I disembarked the Carnival Breeze […]

After a great couple of days at Cruise3Sixty, I’ve finally boarded the beautiful Zuiderdam in Vancouver, Canada. Embarkation was, put bluntly, an ordeal. The Port Metro Vancouver terminal is built to berth four ships at once, but luckily only two ships were in port today – Zuiderdam and the Diamond Princess. Here’s why embarkation was […]
