Princess Cruises continues to enjoy its legacy of Love Boat romance as they set the world record for the largest multi-location vow renewal at sea. 1,443 couples reaffirmed their love for one another during simultaneous ceremonies on three Princess ships.

Another big ship cruise line, Norwegian, has 50% off deposits and pretty much everything free on select sailings but just through the 21st. Unless they extend the offer. They probably will. Well, it IS titled the “biggest sale of the decade” …which just started. It’s hard to believe this is as good as it will get until 2030.
