Disagree With Cruise Critic’s Top 10 World Destinations


The ocean travel expert lists it’s latest favorite ports of call. They are, in order of rank, Villefranche, France; Dubrovnik, Croatia; St. Petersburg, Russia; Avignon, France; Durnstein, Austria; Wurzburg, Germany; Budapest, Hungary and Quebec City, Canada. 

Of course, all are OK to visit, but why is Cruise Critic’s #10 the only one in America, and none in Asia? Consider such great cruise destinations as Honolulu, San Francisco, New York City and Miami? And many senior cruisers would also nominate Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

Not surprisingly, five are in the US: Los Angeles: (1), New York City (3), San Francisco (4), Atlanta (9) and Miami (11) . Moscow (2) tops the foreign city list, followed by Bogata (5), Sao Paulo (6), London (7), Magnitogorsk (8), Paris (10) and Bangkok (12).

If your travels this year take you to any of those congested cities, reconsider doing it with your own or rented car. Weigh the costs, including finding expensive places to park. Check latest internet info on city bus routes, taxi, Uber, Lyft and other urban transportation facilities.
