Over the years, we sisters (Karin and Lisa-Ann), have been fortunate to indulge in our love of all things maritime. This blog started as a way to share our experiences with family and friends. Hopefully the escapades and shenanigans of the Two Cruising Sisters (joined occasionally by our husbands and Mom), will entertain you as much as we’ve entertained ourselves.

Serenade of the Seas in Juneau
Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas is in Juneau today, and you can get a good look at her on the Juneau webcam: https://www.juneauharborwebcam.com. There's a tender at the bow, and you can watch crew members (I'm guessing since all the rain jackets are dark)...

Norwegian Encore cruise update
As we get closer to our sail date of September 4, the emails from NCL with status and updates are a near daily occurrence. We're now 54 days until sail-away. The new schedule: Yay! Two more hours aboard. And I plan to make use of them! The second change doesn't...
Norwegian Encore in Seattle
I made a trip into Seattle, taking the Bainbridge-Seattle ferry, partly because it was the easiest access to my destination, but mostly because I'd get a chance to see the Norwegian Encore docked at Pier 66. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten to charge my camera battery,...
First 2021 cruise ship to leave Seattle
Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas is set to head out on in its simulated cruise (10% capacity, volunteer passengers) to Alaska as required by the CDC for unvaccinated cruises. It's a test of the health protocols. She's currently docked at Pier 91 in Seattle....
