I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far! We’re just off on another adventure, which included a transatlantic flight with our 3.5-year-old, plus my first flight with Starlink Wi-Fi, and those are both topics I’ll write about in the coming days, as I have a lot to say.

With that out of the way, here’s a…

While I’ve reviewed hundreds of airlines, airport lounges, and hotels, this will be my first time ever reviewing a cruise. I recently spent three nights sailing on Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Evrima.
