You ever notice how no one talks about the quiet magic of early mornings at sea?
I’m not talking about the buffet lines or the shows (though I’ve got favorites there too). I’m talking about that moment just before sunrise — when the ship hums gently beneath your feet, coffee in hand, and the horizon starts to blush with color. It’s in those moments that you realize… this isn’t just a vacation — it’s a reset.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some real stories, favorite secrets, and must-know cruise tips that only seasoned cruisers or the most curious travelers catch on to.
Like:
Why I always choose mid-ship cabins (even when they cost a little more),
The port I’ll always return to (and the one I won’t), and
What one $10 item I never cruise without (you’ll laugh — but you’ll want it too).
Stay tuned, friends — there’s more coming from the open sea. And as always, if you’ve got a favorite cruise hack, hidden gem, or wild story, Roy’s Corner is your corner too.
Let’s keep cruisin’ —
