Fire & Ice: Reflections of 16-Day Hawaii to Alaska Cruise On NCL Spirit

Send us Fan MailFire & Ice refers to our late April/early May 16-day cruise on Norwegian Spirit to the dual bucket list destinations of the Hawaiian Islands and Alaska. This episode shares our reflections of this unique cruise. Would we recommend it? I learned of this cruise several months ago when I interviewed Professor Cruise, a leading cruise blogger and Alaska expert, for a feature I was writing about her in The Joy of Cruising Again. Professor Cruise who also goes by Sarah, had just returned from this same cruise and I was amazed that such a cruise existed—especially given that it contained two destinations that were on my bucket list. In fact, on episode #12 Professor Cruise, which aired a couple of days before we flew to Honolulu, I thought it would be fitting to have Sarah on the show. When Sarah first told me about the Fire & Ice cruise, I thought “What a wonderful way to check off two bucket list destinations in one trip.” However, I knew that convincing my wife was not going to be easy. She is not quite as cruising addicted as I am, and this was a more costly cruise than what we typically spend. Not the most money we’ve spent on a cruise but certainly significantly higher than our average cruise expenditure. So, I figured perhaps we could do it in a couple of years.  And then an opportunity presented itself!Do you have a dream car?
