ABOUT US
Raye & I are a husband and
wife team with more than 30 years experience cruising the world. Our
mission is plain and simple. We started Cruise Traveler Magazine
online so we could provide real-life accounts and expert advice, not
just a flood of information.
We literarily have cruised "round the world", sailing thousands of
nautical miles, visiting ports of call, inspecting ships, sampling
itineraries and critiquing shore excursions... And now through
Cruise Traveler Magazine
we hope to pass on that knowledge and
information to you.
Our stories offer the best possible cruise options based on your
lifestyle, interests, budget, travel experience, etc....plus we'll
point out where to get group rates ( without joining a group! ),
free upgrades, shipboard credits and other amenities or discounts.
At Cruise Traveler Magazine you will find information about your
dining choices. Advise about tipping; packing; clothing; flights and
schedule options; shore excursions, proper immigration
documentations and much more.
At Cruise Traveler Magazine you will find information of value to
seniors, families, singles, couples and groups. Plus some "behind
the scenes" and 'Know Before You Go" information not found
elsewhere.
We also will tell you how to avoid travel scams and common travel
mistakes, and share our insights on the latest cruise news and how
it affects your vacation planning.
After reading Cruise Traveler Magazine, we hope you will feel
confident- and excited- about the choices you have, no matter if
this is your first cruise or simply seeking a new adventure. After
all, we know that each time you cruise, you will meet new people,
make new friends and learn new things as you cruise around the
World.
Choosing the cruise that's right for you--that the premise behind
