Memoir, Travelogue, Love StoryDiscovering cruising (thanks to Linda) has been one of the great joys of my life. So fascinated was I that I documented one particular cruise in the form of a books. It is available on Amazon.com. If you are willing to read it and write a review, I will send you a free print copy, valued at $9.95. Write to me at robertferre@retiredgonecruising.com.

WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITEWe're Robert Ferre and Linda Ricketts. Now retired, our favorite pastime is cruising. Our budget is modest, but our enjoyment and appreciation -- of both cruising and each other -- know no bounds. Robert is the webmaster here, so we're keeping things pretty elemental. When you read the pronoun "I" in some of the writing, it refers to Robert. You can contact him at robertferre@retiredgonecrising.com or via his personal website: www.robertferre.com.

Notes from a cruise ship anywhere. No Further UpdatesThis website was going to be part of my growing credentials as a travel writer specializing in cruises. But it's too much work. I'd rather be working on my book writing. I'm still working on becoming a lecturer on cruise ships. If that comes to fruition, I will announce it here. Otherwise, the January 2016 update and the photo essay on our most recent Caribbean cruise will be the last posts for this website.
