Get Your Cruise On, At Home
Are you missing the days when you could hop onto a cruise ship and sail out into the clear blue seas? We are too! While you’re at home quarantining, bring the imaginative kid in you to life and make-believe you are on a cruise. Whether you are missing the spa, entertainment, food, cocktails, dance clubs or casinos, here’s how you can experience these popular cruise ship favorites from the comfort of your home using our Couch Cruising series.
Start your adventure with a spa day. Slip into a comfy robe and slippers, light some candles, turn on an essential oil diffuser and some spa music, give yourself a mani/pedi, wash and moisturize your face, take a nap or just relax. You can even put a picture of the ocean on your television, kick your feet up and sip a cocktail like this couple who recreated their anniversary cruise that was canceled at home.

Now that you’ve had an amazing day of pampering and fun, it’s time for dinner and cocktails. Did you know that you can find some of your favorite cruise line food and drink recipes online?
