PRINCESS DEBUTS 'LINKED BY THE SEA'

Princess Cruises does a good job of inviting guests to share their cruise experiences online via blogs such as “50 Essential Experiences” and “Inspired to Cruise." Today they announced their latest effort, which they call “Linked by the Sea.” Princess describes it as "exploring the many relationships that begin, or are rekindled, at sea. Featuring touching stories from both passengers and crew members, the blog will recount personal tales of friendship, romance and meaningful connections forged at sea."

Princess relates that in the first post, "passenger Steve Deas tells how wearing a kilt on board became an icebreaker that led to an ongoing friendship with Princess Maître d’ Generoso Mazzone. This friendship led to a unique opportunity for Steve to surprise his wife with a secret vow renewal ceremony during a visit to Emerald Princess. What was supposed to be a friendly visit became an anniversary to remember."
