Discoveries At Sea  

Lucille and Joseph

Discoveries at Sea

Their first cruise together was an Alaskan honeymoon. Joseph, already a seasoned cruiser, instructed his bride, “be sure to pack plenty of cool weather clothes,” and it was in the 80’s every day! In Juneau, Joseph proudly led his bride to a favorite museum, only to find it was closed on Sundays! That was Lucille’s introduction to the world of cruising with her husband! Well, it turns out, she must've enjoyed it because they have now just returned from their 18th cruise. 

Their most recent adventure was the 10-day Panama Canal and Costa Rica cruise. Princess® was the first cruise line to sail the Panama Canal in 1967 and offers sailings on cruise ships specifically designed to traverse those historic locks. And the couple always book their cruise and air through Brandywine Travel. This couple is internet savvy and could easily book their next travel discovery themselves on the web, but they prefer the security of the knowledge, service, and support that the Brandywine expert travel professionals provide. 

 Why is this lovely couple so enamored of cruising?  And why Princess®?  Because, they say, “cruising is so much less expensive than land-based vacations, the service is excellent, and our fellow passengers always feel like old friends – we meet someone new on the ship, we find we have so much in common and before you know it, we have been talking for hours!”

One of the best ways to see the islands of Hawaii, they say, is from a cruise ship – rather than packing up and flying to a different island and hotel every couple of days, and they enjoyed the time “at sea.”

 On every itinerary, Lucille and Joseph highly recommend the shore excursions, and return home with memorable stories of their adventures and experiences on the islands.  “The local guides can make all the difference – when they are proud of their country and share their stories – the culture just comes alive” Lucille recounted. For example, Lucille mentioned that Barbados has one of the highest literacy rates in the world – the “kids have to be in school and if they are not in school then they are in jail”
