George Lopez is the kind of comedian who can leave you rolling in the aisles or rolling your eyes. That’s both the blessing and the curse of most comedians, isn’t it? One of the things — and there are many — that makes Lopez a little different is he has established over the years that [...]
I was playing golf with three friends a couple of weeks ago, and the subject of cruises came up on the 13th tee. I know it was the 13th because after the way I played the 12th, I was looking to change the subject. Only one of my friends had been on a cruise, and [...]
One of our dearest friends, Jean-Guy Pelletier, passed away suddenly a few weeks ago, but he will live in us forever, for too many reasons to explain here.

One of today’s headliners is Blake Shelton. On Sunday, one of the headliners is his wife. Fast forward. Next October — cruise people [...]
The people who run Beatles Tribute Cruises are, if nothing else, ambitious. For the 2014 edition of BTC, they’re hoping to have a Beatle, or two. Since there are only two, that means they’re hoping to convince Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to spend seven days on a cruise ships with 1,500 or so (screaming) [...]

You know the rule of thumb about cruise ships, right. Ten days, ten pounds. Right there behind the belt buckle…or where the belt buckle used to be until you had to move it a notch. But when you’re being offered food 24-7, and you don’t have to make it, who can resist? On Princess ships, [...]
