Bar-B-Cruise
A lazy summer day, and the tantalizing aroma of barbecue drifts through the air. Maybe it’s the citrusy scent of fresh-caught salmon squeezed with lemon, or the spiced smoke wafting from baby back ribs. Such normally seasonal pleasures are now, thankfully, everyday cruise delights. Some ocean line
Campfire Desserts You Can Make Anywhere

Take a Road Trip Along Maine’s Lobster Trail

CRUISE RECIPE: MSC Cruises’ Neapolitan Pizza
I’m Hungry to Sail Again… When it comes to MSC’s pizza, I’m something of an expert since that’s pretty much all I consumed during the 2013 and 2014 Moody Blues Cruises aboard Poesia and Divina, respectively. Unlike the typical sailing where leisurely meals in the ship’s dining room or sp

CRUISE RECIPE: Seabourn Cruise Line’s Simple Roasted Salmon with Lentil Stew

CRUISE RECIPE: Disney Cruises’ Best Cocktails!
I’m Hungry THIRSTY for a Cruise! At first, I was baffled. How on earth could Disney Cruise Line have some of the coolest cocktails at sea? And then I realized that if you’re dealing with as many exuberant kids as Disney does, it’s not surprising that you’d want a stiff drink now and ag
CRUISE RECIPE: Star Clippers’ Crème Brûlée
Hungry to Sail Again There I was, thinking home-made crème brûlée would be an ambitious undertaking. I was a tad intimidated by all those accent marks and doodads in the name and then, if that wasn’t enough, I discover you’re supposed to attack the thing with a blowtorch before serving.
CRUISE RECIPE: Viking Cruises’ Chicken Lettuce Wraps

CRUISE RECIPE: Princess Cruises’ Linguini Al Pesto Alla Moda Ligure
Hungry to Sail Again Admit it. After a few nights of filet of beef Wellington, butter-dipped lobster tail, foie gras and maybe even caviar, we start to yearn for a steaming bowl of pasta. And if you’re aboard Princess Cruises, you’re in luck! In Princess Cruises’ Linguini al Pesto Alla M
CRUISE RECIPE: Scenic Eclipse’s Korean Braised Short Ribs
Hungry to Sail Again In September of last year, the six-star Scenic Eclipse stopped traffic when she arrived in New York for her christening—the ceremonial bottle of champagne smashed against her hull by Dame Helen Mirren. Not only was Scenic Eclipse a more intimate vessel than is usually wi
CRUISE RECIPE: Carnival’s Fruit Loops French Toast
Hungry to Sail Again No question. We adults are going a little stir crazy during this global pandemic…but at least we have booze. Think of the little kids: No friends to meet up with, no sports to play, no slides and swings and no trips to Disney World. Why not put a smile on the [&hel
CRUISE RECIPE: Norwegian Cruise Line Pretzel Rolls
Hungry to Sail Again After this pandemic, I know I’ll never take the following things for granted: Restaurants, movie theaters, bookstores, concerts, medical professionals, bars, hairstylists, eyebrow waxers, toilet paper …and Norwegian’s pretzel rolls. Any other year, I’d either be cr
CRUISE RECIPE: Onion Tarte from French Country Waterways
Hungry to Sail Again What I simply adore about cruising is its variety. We can sail massive ships, mid-size ships, small ships, river boats, yachts, expedition ships….and, with French Country Waterways, even luxury barges with a capacity of less than 20 guests. That’s my kind of soci
