Eclipse Cruises

Things can be initiated well in advance but poorly planned and researched. For example, here is Cunard’s plans for solar eclipse cruises.

Two of them are at port, which defeats the whole idea behind an eclipse cruise which is mobility. One of them is ported in Iceland with crummy weather prospects and short duration. And they even suggest watching the eclipse with sunglasses!😱
On the other hand, I was on the Emerald Princess off the coast of Mexico and it was fantastic. Princess is announcing one for 2026 off Spain at the end of May. I'll be signing up again as they did it right.
