I am just back from my longest cruise ever that took 22 days. It was two 11 day back to back sailings and I was not the only one as 166 of us stayed onboard to do the same thing (that is a lot, fyi). I will over time have a full recap but for now how about a recap of the busy week that was here on the blog:
It is so interesting to see airline lounges tying to “one up” each other in 2025. While domestic airline lounges seem to be declining recently the same can not be said about the new card lounges opening up. Take a look at the two newest ones to come online.
Are you under 5/24 with Chase? Just what does 5/24 mean? If you qualify what card should you consider? See what card Chris went for.
Let’s face it – travel can be expensive. But not if you use points to lower that cost and possibly by a LOT. Capital One has brought back a promotion worth at least $1,000 in travel.
It seems like everyone is traveling in 2025. A bunch of these, now more frequent flyers, seem to be very easily triggered over things they should not be. Here is a list of these and why they are wrong about being upset when frequent travelers do these things.
Cruise ship are simply PACKED in 2025. Finding a deck chair onboard, let alone some privacy, is nearly impossible. But with NCL there is, for a modest upcharge, a way to get both luxury and privacy. Take a look and compare it to the adults only area on many NCL ships.
Do Chris and I get lots of free “stuff” from airlines and hotels? What about free trips and more? Are we paid for our reviews? Here are the answers.
Lastly, after the string of recent aviation accidents, are you becoming afraid to fly? If not afraid are you at least more concerned than you were before? Readers chime in.
Next week, here in South Bend, the forecast is for warmer temps and this blanket of snow that greeted me after my cruise should be gone and perhaps winter too will be gone for this season. I are ready for March to begin on Saturday and my wife is ready to cover our kitchen table with seeds for all kinds of good stuff to be planted in May. I am ready spring – come soon! – René
