Ahoy mates!


Becky talks about her lovely cruise through Alaska aboard Majestic Princess! The first day was packed with getting settled into a cabin, becoming familiar with the ship, a fun sailaway, and a fantastic dinner.


Majestic Princess was built in 2017 and carries just over 3500 passengers and another 1200-1300 in crew. It has 19 decks that include inside cabins, balcony cabins, mini-suites, and suites. Becky traveled in a balcony cabin which is great for seeing the beauty of Alaska while sailing in and out of the many ports of call.

Becky was a guest of Princess Cruises and the Porsche Club of America as they gathered for their annual meeting — PCA Treffen at Sea! What a fun event! And if you’re a member, please consider joining in next year (in August) for the next chapter of PCA Treffen at Sea!

Panama City is a different vibe from Panama City Beach that many of us are already familiar with, yet it is so easy to see how the two communities are woven together through common threads that exist in beachside and waterfront communities like those on Florida's panhandle.


Experience the city’s first (and only) waterfront hotel - Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina, an IHG Hotel is situated right along the Panama City Marina offering beautiful views of the bay! The hotel’s interior is welcoming and thoughtful, and my room was just perfect.


The downtown area is filled with bustling businesses, shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Digging deeper I found so many nods to yesteryear and amazing stories…sweet memories kept alive thanks to visionaries who have given this city some spunky energy. It’s fun to see what happens when someone takes an idea a step further. That’s a kind of progress we need to see more of in today’s culture.
