Welcome Home

Welcome to The Veranda Life!

This is for anyone who has an addiction to cruising and never wants an intervention. You know who you are. You’re either on a cruise or counting down to the next one.

We want to introduce you to our idea of a 12 step program. It’s the last 12 steps of the gangway as you cross onto the ship on embarkation day. You feel all of the stress leaving your body and your blood pressure starts to lower. (Well, until you hit the Buffet in search of a table by the window.) I digress…

My Wife, Suzi, and I started this site to offer those with a similar affliction a place to go, make friends and support one another during that difficult time in our lives known as “Countdown to Embarkation”. The best way to make it through this rough period is to reminisce about past cruises, friends you’ve met and where you are going next.

Please feel free to join in. All we ask is that we keep everything nice and clean. Remember, we are part of this community of avid cruisers, so let’s be kind to each other.
