I’ve Booked My First Cruise Ever — Norwegian Breakaway From New York

Posted on October 23, 2017 by Andy Shuman • 2 Comments

In November I’m sailing on Norwegian Breakaway from New York. I have never been on a real cruise before. By “real” I mean sailing for some meaningful period of time on a modern mega–cruise ship, so my 2-day Halong Bay cruise doesn’t count, no matter how thoroughly I enjoyed it (and I did). The… Continue Reading

Flight and Hotel Reviews: United Newark-Berlin and Pullman Berlin Schweizerhof

Posted on July 14, 2016 by Andy Shuman • 2 Comments

I’m in Stockholm now. It’s hard to believe I was reluctant to stay in Berlin for five days; I though I might get bored. Now I’m sad I had to leave so quickly. It almost feels as if I didn’t see anything… What an awesome city! My prior visit to Berlin was 2 years ago… Continue Reading

From $170 Round Trip: Boston, Baltimore and New York to Martinique on Norwegian Air

Posted on January 6, 2016 by Andy Shuman • 2 Comments

If you need a winter break from the freezing temperatures of the Northeast winter, you are in luck. You can find a roundtrip flight to the Caribbean, French-speaking island of Martinique for less than $200! Although, the French-speaking bit is incorrect.

A few months ago, in the midst of the Club Carlson world crisis, I decided I’d been postponing visiting Iceland for way too long.

Posted on July 29, 2015 by Andy Shuman • 0 Comments

I used to love TravelZoo, but I’ve been disappointed with their pickings lately, and by lately, I mean the last couple of years. This deal, however, seems to be a real McCoy. The cheapest $119 rate is not the best offer here, although it is a fantastic deal for an oceanside South Beach resort—you won’t find… Continue Reading
