Hello everyone... Let me tell you a little about myself. I am known on many Cruise related message boards as Radio... it's an easy name to remember. There are lots of GREAT Cruise Boards on the internet, like Cruise Critic, Cruise Mates, and CrownCast.

I don't have a broadcast or Radio job, but more on that later.
 

I used to be the Store Manager of an electronics store (back in the 80´s). I happened to win a contest (early 90´s), and was awarded a Cruise for 2 on the brand new Carnival Fantasy....

I was in heaven. I loved the ship. It was a brand new vessel!     I loved the food. I loved the atmosphere of being on a Cruise Ship. The ports did not matter to me... I just wanted to be on the ship!
There is something about a Cruise Ship, that make me really want to sail. Maybe it's the Nautical "feel", or maybe it's just the freedom.

That was in 1991... Since then, I have sailed on over 50 cruises. My wife has sailed with me on most of those cruises. My kids have sailed on many of those as well.

Recently, I have been known to "fly solo" on Cruises. Mrs. Radio still joins me at least once or twice per year, and my kids (24 and 26) have been cruising with their friends.

I often do "LIVE" Trip reports while cruising, which are different than most.

Many passengers offer reviews or trip reports, but my trip reports also include daily photos of the ship, cabins, ports.

I also include daily commentary, and answers to many questions. It is not hard for me to do... It is what I love to do. As a matter of fact, I can't think of anything that I would l love more.

Oh Yeah... Why does everyone call me Radio?

People ask me that question often. I used to be a Store Manager at a Radio Shack store. We were given complimentary AOL accounts, and we had to come up with a screen name... This was my first AOL account and my screen name turned out to be... well you know.

I guess if you asked me what my favorite Cruise Line was. . . I would have to tell you it is Royal Caribbean International. I seemed to have been cruising their ships with the most frequency.

I have sailed with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Carnival, Holland America, and my next Cruise will be with Norwegian Cruise Line. I like a lot of things about every Cruise Line! If you asked me what Cruise was my favorite cruise. . .  I would tell you that my NEXT cruise will be my favorite cruise !

I hope you enjoy the photos, videos, and trip reports. I loved creating them! Mrs. Radio says that I am obsessed with Cruise Ships, and Cruising.

Hmmm. . .  She might be right !

I hope to meet you on board a ship some day.....

Thanks for tuning in.
