Welcome back to Travel with Dale & Margaret! It’s been a long time since we’ve created a new post for our travels. It’s not that we haven’t been traveling but we just haven’t felt the drive to do a blog.
We had planned on going on a 60 day cruise from Bali to Tokyo on Crystal Cruises but it was not to be for numerous reasons. There are still a few places left on our travel wish list to visit including Asia, South Africa, the Baltic and Ireland/Scotland. The opportunity came up to take Oceania’s newer ship, Marina, on a 14 day Baltic cruise so we jumped on it! We’ve wanted to try out the Marina since our good friends had a great experience on it last year…so here we go!
