Tips & Tricks to make your cruises better

Hey CruisePals, it’s Gary! I’m a savvy cruiser sailing all over the world. Follow me on Insta for tips about cruising. Let’s make your cruises better!

I started cruising over 10 years ago with a trip to the Caribbean. It was fantastic! Since then it’s become addictive!  So far I have done 20 cruises, landing in over 33 different incredible countries. 

My cruises have left me with some of the most rewarding experiences that I have ever had and I am super excited to keep it going. In fact, my goal now is to cruise to every country on the world and I am going for it!

According to the United Nations, there are 192 countries.  This means that I still have 159 more to go. Wish me luck!

I know that some countries are landlocked, like Niger in Africa, or Andorra in Europe, so it wont be possible to cruise directly to them. In such instances, I will cruise to one of their neighbors and then cross the border by car and on foot and chaclk it up as done as I try to reach my goal. It’s the best that I can do when there is no water to cruise on.

I also know that there are some countries that are difficult to enter, but as a person born in Trinidad and Tobago who welcomes everyone from around the world, I hope that I will be welcomed by all.

But you may be asking “Why do I cruise?” Well the truth is that I cruise for several reasons. One of them is to meet new people, and to speak and eat with them. To listen to the cherished stories of many and to tell them my own.

Another reason that I cruise is to enjoy the beauty and variety of the planet. There are incredible places to see all around the globe.  Some say that the planet is dieing, and this makes me both sad and mad, but I am not yet ready to give up. I know that cruising has been a contributor to global warming but I am confident that the new ships that are being rolled out will have a much lesser negative impact.  And that we will all be able to cruise without the guilt of emissions to see the great wonders of our world. From the majestic skylines of big cities to the unique simplicity of remote towns.  From the deep blue waters of the ocean to the towering peaks of the mountains tops.

I hope that you will follow me  on this journey and if I have not yet met you that I will get an opportunity to do so on one of my cruises.
