Cruising With Karina
Welcome to my Travel blog website!
Ahoy there, I'm Karina. I'm a Cruise Blogger from Melbourne Australia, and I've been sharing my cruising experiences since 2007. I love cruising, being on the ocean, and I get 'cruuuuuise happy' when ever I see a cruise ship, and if I could live on board a cruise ship.... I would!’
I'm ITC Certified, a Princess Cruises Captain Circle member, and an experienced cruiser with 44 sea days under my belt so I know what I'm talking about. So far, I've done three voyages with the Princess line, and I have forty one sea days under my belt with more to come. Join me 'Cruising With Karina,' as I keep you up to date with the latest cruise news blogs, share cruise tips, news of coming events, and talk about all things 'Cruising!'
I first discovered my passion for cruising back in the 1980's. I was just a child when I saw the commercial advertising 'P&O's Fairstar Funship' on TV.' A few years later, I saw the ship docked in Darling Harbour and I started dreaming about going on 'a two week Fijian cruise,' and it finally came true in 2014 when I boarded the (late) Dawn Princess Cruise ship at Sydney's White Bay Wharf for my maiden voyage - a 14 night cruise to Fiji. Not only was it my first time on board a Cruise ship; it was also my first time out of Australia, and I loved every moment of it... especially because my dream cruise to finally became a reality. Two years later, I boarded the (late) Dawn Princess again for a two week cruise to New Zealand to celebrate my birthday. Although I got sea sick twice during the voyage; I loved every moment; especially being able to explore a new country. This was actually when I started my Cruise Blog, and I’ve been writing about cruising ever since.
During a sea day, you'll often find me 'on the pool deck with a Cocktail in my hand, walking along the Promenade Deck, doing a Line Dancing Class, and in the Princess Theatre watching a movie.' While at night, you'll often find me on stage for Karaoke @ Sea, watching Movies under the Stars, and dancing the night away in the ships Night Clubs.'
I’m currently planning a 14 night cruise to Queensland; departing from Melbourne in March 2024 with the Grand Princess cruise ship, and I look forward to writing, and posting my travel blog.
Bon Voyage, and happy cruising!
