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. Especially after a visit to the Crow’s Nest bar …

Norwegian Encore Tracker and Bow Cam
(image from Norwegian Cruise Line website) I'm in the process of trying to find out everything I can about the Norwegian Encore, both because I'm excited, and because I'm certain my hubby will expect me to know my way around the ship. I love him dearly, but his...
Second time’s the charm?
The itinerary, on the day we booked. Icy Strait Point and Juneau days have been swapped. Since 2020 ... happened, our 25th anniversary cruise with its unique itinerary was cancelled. So we're trying again. New ship, new cruise line, 26th anniversary, same...
231 days – but who’s counting?

Vancouver, Day 2
Another full day ahead, so I stocked up on breakfast. First stop was the VanDusen Botanical Gardens. We pretty much did everything except the maze - but only because my feet were hurting. Despite being early fall, this was a lovely place to spend a few hours.Then...
Vancouver, Day 1
Up at 7:00 a.m. and sadly, we disembarked the ms Amsterdam by 9:00 a.m. Fortunately, Karin had a full day planned for us, so no time to mope. We checked into the hotel, had some breakfast and headed out. Our next stop was Granville Island. The public market rivals...
Two day mini-cruise – Victoria Edition
After some breakfast nibbles and coffee from the Neptune Lounge we spent the day virtually alone on the ship. Walked the promenade, watched the harbor activity, ate, drank and made merry, dressed for dinner, and felt totally pampered and spoiled. The dinner menu...
Two day mini-cruise – Seattle edition
We went from Seattle to Victoria to Vancouver. Short, relaxing, fun and swanky. Karin upgraded us to a Pinnacle Suite. I'm pretty sure it's nearly 2/3 the size of my house. We boarded about 11:30 without any fuss or bother, had lunch in the Main Dining Room,...
