Finding unbelievable deals. I did three cruises in 2024, so cheap. I found great deals again on all three cruises. First one 13 day New York USA to South Hamton, England all inclusive $1,341.26 April 29 to May 13 then on the same cruise ship I stayed on but did not buy it from them found a better deal with Vacations Togo, could have got it for as low as $322 but because I was solo they charged a little over double $686.33 still not bad. So, it was from South Hamton England to Copenhagen Denmark May 13 to May 22. The third cruise was from about an hour and a half outside of Rome I took the local bus from the airport to the port for $5 Euro I herd a lot of people were paying between $75 to $150 Euro, 21-day cruise from Rome to Miami started October 27 to November 17. I learned so much about cruising could not believe how cheap it was and it’s like staying at a 5-star resort, talking to a lot of cruising people I got a better deal than they did, guess it’s my experience of traveling. My third and last cruise of 2024. Now home sweet home, back in Playa Del Carmen Mexico. Another amazing cruise I met a lot of amazing people on my travels. I'm travel lucky again today I went to the airport really early had no choice have to get off the ship the lady told me my flight was going to be delayed till 3:30 PM. I asked if they had an earlier flight and she said yes I took the last seat again and free of charge she changed it for me. so it gave me enough time to have a late lunch in Playa or maybe it's my blogging card you get a lot of perks if you're a travel, blogger. On the cruise I got a great deal plus I got balcony instead of inside for the price of a inside cabin. Lucky me. November 12 2024 Love Barbados, brings back lots of memories with our family vacation in the 70s. mom, dad, my three sisters and myself. I must've done about eight hours of walking and taking the Local bus meeting loads of local people that's what I love to do best meeting locals. Rain day today in Granada so did not do much, just a little bit of walking around. #barbados #travelling  November 2 2024 Finally made it to the Canary Island, Spain. I love all Spain. Only 1.35 Euro to take the train across to the other side of the Island beautiful trip. Next stop in six days to Barbados. Maybe no Internet for me. #canaryisland #spain #santacruzdetenerife November 4 2024 My favourite thing to do while I'm at Port, is to meet the local people in their Centro Park and just walk around their cities and try to teach them English lol. It's always easy to communicate with a smile and some good laughs. #southspain #cruiseship #spain Valencia Spain one day after the big flood. Valencia España un día después de la gran inundación.October 31 2024. Very devastating in Valencia Spain, now with over 140 deaths confirmed and many more missing. I arrived on my cruise ship today in Valencia one day after the devastating storm, one years worth of rain in less than eight hours, does not look like the tourists area got hit that hard. I did my daily walk and saw some homeless encampments, lucky they did not get hit too hard in the city. The past year, I think I've been to about 10 countries and we all have the same problems, homelessness , the price of food, the price of gas. Prayers for the world. No Internet or phone for the next couple of days unless I get reception from Spain or even Morocco. I have a great European Sim card that surprises me that works in some places. #valencia #spain #cruise  October 30 2024 Brings back memories Barcelona. I remember backpacking 18 countries around the world by plane about 20 years ago. The Hostels back then were about $10-$12 a night. In the video, I'm pretty sure it's the same Hostel I stayed at 20 years ago. Nowadays, I call myself a cruiser, Cruise Ship backpacker lol.. #barcelona #Barcelona #backpacking #cruiseship #cruise  October 25 2024 My third cruise 2024, still can't believe I got a balcony at the price of an inside cabin plus a 21 day cruise for only $778.00 solo. I'm such a lucky cruiser, and I just started cruising, this is my third cruise this year. I'm at the Calgary airport waiting for my flight to Rome. Today I finally read my itinerary and noticed that I got a balcony and I paid for inside single so I called Vacations To Go and they told me that NSC upgraded me and this is my first time ever on this cruise MSC the manager said it's probably because I took so long to respond like two weeks ago. They probably didn't have any more inside suites. So as you can see, this is about $1000 upgrade so far, my Cruise friends I was thinking of negotiating an inside as long as they give me the Wi-Fi/drinks and a couple of restaurants do you think that will work? May 22 2024 My final destination, Copenhagen, Denmark also did another city in Denmark three days ago called Aarhus after 23 days of cruising I still will not be relaxing another over 23,000 steps again today. Belfast Ireland tomorrow for six days. I left the ship around 9 AM after taking the bus and the subway to my hotel, I arrived at the hotel about 11 AM and I asked the guy if I can store my luggage, he said no your room is ready so I checked in went out right away stopped in a couple of high-end hotels where I saw people from the ship, not getting their rooms are not allowing to store their luggage, I only talk to a few people and they said they didn't have storage for them, I noticed also at the ship a big lineup to get a taxi with no taxis available. Don't think they're ready for 3000 people getting off the ship. Lucky for Google Maps shows you what public transportation to take. This will be another country. I will visit again. May 21 2024. Germany, two cities Warnemumde (Rostock) and Kiel of course, other cities on the train. Another great country to visit. A little less English than the other countries I've visited, but still easy to get around. I was going to take the train from Kiel to Hamburg first thing this morning but it looked like rain, it ended up being really nice. I will be back to Germany to see more. Final destination on the ship tomorrow in Copenhagen. Denmark, then off to Belfast Ireland for a week before I head back to Canada. This cruising thing has been an amazing experience. May 19 2024. Yesterday I was in Oslo Norway, couldn't post anything because I don't have Wi-Fi on the ship. I'll post some things today as now I am in Aarhus, Denmark I will post Denmark after my final destination in Copenhagen Denmark. Norway was beautiful again hitting 22 Celsius sunny skies all day. Next couple of days heading to German. May 16 2024 Leaving Amsterdam soon heading to Oslo, Norway. Did over 22,000 steps again today. Walking through Central then took the free ferry over to North Amsterdam, where it's more calm. Ran into four older guys riding their bicycles around Europe from Vancouver Island, Canada. I let them know. I have my good friend Stephanie van Hoeijen from Holland/Netherlands starting her bike ride across Canada on Vancouver Island. She's an amazing traveller on her own time. We met when I drove from Calgary to Panama three Dutch people that are voting me for anything I wanted to do lol... No Wi-Fi for the next day and a half. Because my cruise is so cheap they won't let me buy the package. Just learning this cruise life. Just amazing how they get around in Amsterdam by bicycle rush-hour. I did not do the swing and the roller coaster. I didn't have enough time. My ship is gonna leave. There will be a next time in Amsterdam. Love Amsterdam Holland/Netherlands. As a traveler, I have a good feeling for this country. I will be back to explore it all. My Calgary friend Lisbeth Weis and I did the Canal tours. We did not do the hop on hop off bus tour as it was sold out. I did not post Belfast because I will be back there May 23 after my cruises Now back in Belgium twice within four days on the same ship. May 11th I went to an old city called Bruges today May 15th I went to a more modern city Knokke-Heist with a beach that goes for miles on the tram (train). A little cooler and rainy this time around, but still nice. Tomorrow back to Amsterdam then one day on sea over to Norway for my first time. May 14 2024 Time to travel alone again. My friends and the people I met are all gone their own different ways and countries. While in Halifax, I saw this amazing deal on Vacations To Go cannot believe 95% off $322 USD. I got lucky and had the last ticket to go nine more sailing days three are the same places that I've been to on the way to Southampton, England that is where the new journey begins. Spent the day in Southampton yesterday now back in La Havre France. I have no connection to the world other than being that port as they can add extras on my deal no Wi-Fi or phone unless I'm at the port. May 7 2024 After crossing the Atlantic for five days, we are now in Dublin heading to Belfast tomorrow morning. Day three crossing the Atlantic it was really rough on me so I took a couple of motion pills in the afternoon at dinner time there was a solo group I attend having dinner I almost fell asleep at the table after having a couple glasses of wine with dinner. Made it to my room slept over 13 hours straight without waking up had no idea what happened. I read the directions on the pills the next day it said do not mix alcohol while taking these pills. I still can't believe the deal. I got on my next cruise on the same ship. $686 USD That's for double travel partner it would be half of that. Unbelievable. Looks like i'll be cruising for years to come. May 1 2024, Sitting in Halifax, I have a layover in Europe for two weeks just found a great deal on the same boat. I can continue from Southampton England to Copenhagen, Denmark. $322 USD I have to double that because I'm going single. That's why I don't plan always finding deals.
