Greetings Tips For Travellers
Today I boarded the first of two (what are called) “side-by-side” cruises .
The first is a 14-night repositioning cruise on Regent Splendor from Lisbon to New York, and a few days after arriving there I will be going on a 5-night Norwegian Aqua cruise to Bermuda.
As you can see from the route, it has quite a few ports and I will get to properly explore some that were on the 2024 Group Cruise route that I did not explore as was busy focused on plans for the group. I am also excited to go to Newport for the first time. As a big fan of “The Gilded Age” TV series seeing and touring some of the mansions from that will be a highlight.
On this trip I am going in a “Serenity Suite” and in the cabin right next door to the one I was in last time on this ship. This is the “short” video tour I did of that cabin: https://youtube.com/shorts/kovH4msJaIM
These are the cabins the grade above the entry level cabin (Deluxe Balcony) and I really like these. The bathroom is rather special!
I will be in the “Big Apple” for two nights before my next cruise, and have booked to see two shows that are not on in London’s West End. The revival of the “Rocky Horror Show”, though the cast has changed since I booked so not seeing the lead I had though I would be, and the new “The Lost Boys” musical which won 4 Tony Awards recently.
On my return to New York after the next cruise I am there for one night and booked to see “Schmigadoon” which is a spin off from the Apple+ TV series about a magical town where every day is a musical and the only bridge out of town leads nowhere, which a couple accidentally stumble enter and are trying to escape.
The next cruise will be a 5-night on one of Norwegian Cruise Line Prima Class ships: Aqua. The first to have the large waterslide instead of the go-kart track. This is part of a plan to update my resort ship and Norwegian content.
Let me know in the comments what you would like me to update and talk about in my on-cruise Substack only updates I will post on these trips!
