Cruises from Houston
You no longer need to make the trip to Galveston to take a cruise from the Houston area - Caribbean Princess is now making weekly cruises from the Bayport Cruise Terminal.  This "sorta, kinda new" cruise port is on Galveston Bay, 30 miles from downtown Houston, and has been unused since it was built a couple of years ago.  After an inaugural 4-day cruise, Caribbean Princess will be departing on 7-night Western Caribbean cruises through April 26, 2014.  Emerald Princess will take over a similar schedule for the 2014-2015 season and will be joined by Norwegian Jewel .  The complete schedule of cruises from Houston is available at TheCruiseNexus.com.
Cruise Around Australia
If you took an Australia cruise , wouldn't you want to sail all the way around it? I would. Australia circumnavigation cruises are fairly rare though, probably because they are about a month long. The major cities are on the coast, so a cruise is a great way to explore. The grand voyages usually depart from Sydney and include stops at Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin and more. Sometimes they stop at Bali and Tasmania too.
