One of the more interesting articles to cross our desktops this weekend was from <\/span>FoxNews.com<\/a>, which is not exactly known as an acknowledged source of cruise information. This article, by Andrea Rotondo, who appears to be a cruise expert for a network that most of us didn't know had one. It's entitled "9 major events you can attend via cruise ship in 2014" and it's an interesting read.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The events are from all over the world, and they're neatly arranged chronologically, from the Australian Open<\/a> (tennis) in January to New Year's<\/span>\"Australian<\/a>Eve in Hong Kong<\/a>. There is more variety in cruise lines — they're all different — than in events, eight of which are either sports events or parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then again, aren't most "events" that you'd go to great lengths to see either sports events or parties?<\/span><\/p>\n

The range of cruise lines goes from luxury brands like Silversea<\/a> and Crystal<\/a> <\/span>\"MardiGras\"<\/a>and Windstar<\/a> to some of the mainstream lines, such as Carnival<\/a>, Royal Caribbean<\/a> and Norwegian<\/a>…all of which are noted in the same breath as "Mardis Gras<\/a>" because they all have ships that regularly sail from New Orleans<\/a>. One "miss" is linking the Monaco Grand Prix<\/a> only to Star Clippers<\/a> when Windstar has been taking ships to the GP for a couple of years, at least.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking a cruise to a country because a big event was being held there is not something we've ever done, but after reading Ms Rotondo's suggestions (www.foxnews.com<\/a>), it's worth thinking of taking a flyer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or a cruise.<\/span><\/p>\n
