This video is about the Pros and Cons of Repositioning Cruises and why these cheap cruises may be right for you. We took a fall repositioning cruise on the Celebrity Apex from Barcelona, Spain to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida making stops in Gibraltar, Malaga, Valencia, Azores, Bermuda, and Bahamas. We tell you what a positioning cruise is, when and where they travel, and give you some of the pros and cons of this type of travel. We also share some of our thoughts on the amazing Celebrity Apex and how you can get some great cruise deals.
We took our repositioning cruise on the Celebrity Apex. It is one of the modern Edge® Series - five innovative outward facing ships. Celebrity has put the world front and center visiting more than 50 countries and 120 ports of call. We highly recommend the any of the Celebrity Edge® Series cruise ships.
▶️ We started our channel to inspire and share our world travel lifestyle, adventures, and optimistic outlook on life with others. After completing a two-year journey in our Airstream to see all 50 states and 51 National Parks, we left to travel abroad. We have downsized our possessions and sold our home so that we can wander about with only the things in our backpacks.
We love living on the road, traveling each week to a new location. We plan to travel extensively to every part of the world. Ours is not a slow travel lifestyle but rather a vagabondish one. The goal is not to check a country off a list, but to experience it by meeting new people, seeing how others live, and making new friends. We believe in laughing, loving, and living our lives to the fullest.
We are working hard to build a beautiful website where you can get travel information about the places we have been. In addition, we post blog articles to help you travel better. Our channel is a way of augmenting that effort, so sometimes we post videos about how to travel or a vlog showing our lives on the road as we do an activity or an adventure. We also post Shorts, so check those out, too. We hope to entertain you, but most importantly, we want to inspire you and give you the confidence to plan your own adventure around the world.
We invite you to subscribe and comment. We also hope you follow the link to our website and sign up for our newsletter. It's a great way to keep up-to-date with our travels. ◀️
