While we're busy at work preparing articles for tomorrow and the coming week, we thought it'd be fitting to throw up another attractive photo.  It's remarkable how something as simple as the ocean at sunset can cause an almost uncontrollable desire to set sail on a voyage right now.    It's always been a mystery to me why cruise brochures have bright, sun-washed photographs on them and not relaxed, contemplative sunset shots.

Coming this week, we take a look at the former Renaissance in her days as World Renaissance for the now-defunct Royal Olympic Cruise Line.  She was beached at Alang, India on August 10th and at this moment awaits a welder's torch - the last step in a long and storied career.

We also take a look at Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas, discuss some of the up-and-coming reasons to cruise Alaska in 2011, and we explore why you should be searching for your airfare before even deciding on a cruise.

Stay tuned!
