The Avid Cruiser

This week on Avid Cruiser, we feature a travel writer who has been on five world cruises, with two more booked. Also, we've posted our video quick tour of Scenic Eclipse, which we visited last week while in New York. It was a whirlwind tour, shot with a GoPro and hastily edited on an Ipad. Still, the video conveys some of the essence of Eclipse. Also on Avid Cruiser this week, special offers from Princess & Seabourn. Thanks for being a loyal Avid Cruiser reader. - Ralph Grizzle & Britton Frost The post World Cruises, A Quick Tour Of Scenic Eclipse & Special Offers From Princess & Seabourn appeared first on Avid Cruiser Cruise Reviews, Luxury Cruises, Expedition Cruises.

During my June 2013 voyage, I stayed in Deluxe Balcony Stateroom on Royal Princess.
