Princess Cruises Chronicles Cruise Ship Connection Stories
Santa Clarita, Calif. (PRWEB) August 23, 2013 -- Princess Cruises’ blog, “Linked by the Sea” continues to explore the many ways people make connections on or because of a cruise. In the latest stories, readers will find a grandson’s tribute to cruising with his grandfather, a crew member who had a chance encounter with passengers who turned out to be her relatives, at-sea romances, and a friendship that began with a coaxing onto the dance floor.
Each week the blog, found at LinkedByTheSea.com, will illustrate how a cruise not only offers a relaxing retreat from which to explore the world, but often includes the discovery of new friends that lead to meaningful or lifelong relationships. Both passengers and crew tell stories about people they connect with at sea.
Recent “Linked by the Sea” stories include:
Cruising With My Hero … My Grandfather – Young passenger Tanner Bowman was introduced to cruising as a six-year-old by his grandfather. Now 12, Tanner reminisces about many cruises he was able to take with his hero, who passed away last year.
