UPDATED – 2020 EDITION!
We’re back for 2020 with lots of changes to our list. The biggest change is that the Top 15 Cruise Blogs as expanded and is now the Top 20 Cruise Blogs. There were too many new cruise bloggers to keep the list at just 15 and, why not have 20 for 2020?
For readers who LOVE cruising as much as we do, you likely use your free time (or work time…) searching for the best deals on cruises, reading about new ships or new ports and tweaking your budget to allow for that next cruise.
We love reading and researching our next cruise as much as you do, so in order to help you find the best, most useful and most interesting cruise information out there we have compiled a list of 20 Cruise Blogs that you should check out, bookmark and read often.
