A family of four, in love with cruising.
We've taken 16 cruises since 2012 — and we're still counting.
We're the Two Sailors and a Half — mom, dad, and two boys who'd rather be at sea.
Since our first sailing in 2012 we've logged 16 cruises, and every one taught us something worth passing on. From the first nervous embarkation to the sixteenth sail-away, this is our family's ongoing voyage — one entry at a time.
We share our travels, tips and experiences with fellow cruise lovers.
