What Creators Are Saying About Peter Knego's MidShipCinema
So, we wasn't too satisfied with Cday Brunch, so we decided to stop and get a rainbow bagel. Let's see. This is good. This kind of makes up for it.
Keeping Up With The Griffins
He's in a desperate attempt to save a dying channel that's on the skids. And I'm going to turn you guys around so you can see the road.
New York Dan
Just because you're on vacation does not necessarily mean that you are exempt from bad things happening to you or the people you are traveling with.
LetsTalkShip
The snack is described by on board signage as a crave warty natural bowl featuring bold flavors and fun bites made for cruising.
Eddie
If you're a retiree who values a quiet lounge before dinner, or a grandparent who wants that curtain of separation from a grandkid on the sofa bed, this suite earns its keep.

What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“No matter how much bulk and distraction NCL piled on top of her, the Norway's fine hull remained positively perfect until the very end.”
“They were not only innovative in function by pushing smoke and smuts to either side of the ship, they were like winged angels.”
“The food on that cruise on our Alaska trip was out of this world. Everything was great.”
“I was so fortunate to have been in the press pool aboard the mighty Queen Mary 2”
“It was a wonderful salute, the likes of which many of us thought we would never see again”
“one of my favorite ships was being nudged from her birth to begin an overseas toe to her death”
“I felt a profound sadness looking at her and hearing the howling wind and seeing what looked like a ship that once had so much hope actually giving up her ghost”
“she seemed as if she were giving up the ghost”
“Royal Caribbean was much worse and it had no finesse and um I don't know. I just found it miserable”
“She's sitting in Mobile being stripped of whatever was left on her that could be considered toxic so that they can sinker”
Pro Tips From Creators

Be on deck 15 minutes before arrival and after departure for a dramatic view of a vanishing historic ship when river cruising to Ghent.
