TravelPulse offers Fall cruise suggestions

Because of the weather and kids going back to school, Fall can be a slow cruise time. Many cruise companies use this time of year to refurbish their older ships. However, the changing seasons and the need to move ships around creates some unique cruise opportunities. TravelPulse put together a list of six fall cruises that are worth taking.

Of their list, the Coastal California sounds very enticing. We've visited all those cities but never from a ship. And unlike some of the other itineraries suggested, this one is a little more rare. Which unique Fall cruise sounds most exciting to you?

TravelPulse introduces you to a Cruise Director

A good Cruise Director can make or break a cruise. TravelPulse understands that and interviewed Carnival's Matt Mitcham to learn more about the job, his favorite stops and what happens behind the scenes. It is a helpful interview for cruise fans and those who have sailed on Carnival. Mitcham's energy comes off as just the right type of leader for the Carnival brand.

TravelPulse's best cruises for days at sea

Days at sea are some of our favorite parts of any cruise. The ship is filled with things to do and there are multiple activities every hour. TravelPulse put together a list of the best cruises if you want to maximize your days at sea. Most of the list focuses on repositioning cruises, but there are regular cruise -- like ones that cross the Atlantic -- that provide plenty of time at sea. They also recommend the slightly different, like alternatives on cargo and sailing ships. Those might be light on amenities, but they are certainly unique experiences.
