Q. I bought a Citizen watch and absolutely LOVE it. It's so accurate and looks so amazing. I don't have to ever worry about it dying because it actually charges by any light source. That's luxury right there! It also is a pertpetual calendar so once it is set I'll never have to worry about it again. It has leap years and month, so it knows exactly everything. What was your first luxury watch? What watch do you wear? Do you like Citizen?
Answer
Sounds like you got a great watch there, but i think you still need to replace the battery in several yrs time because solar watch is using rechargeable battery. I don't wear Citizen, i wear its compatriot and competitor Seiko. My watch is automatic and need not change battery although i need to service it after five yrs same time like changing a battery. I don't have to worry about any recharging and i just need to wear continuously for it to work. Mine does not have perpetual calendar but a day date that needs adjusting for months less than 31 days. I dont mind that because automatic perpetual calendars cost a Lamborghini. My seiko is not as accurate as your Citizen because mine is automatic but it's okay for me as i don't require extreme accuracy and I like to see the little moving parts in my automatic watch.

What are luxury cruises?
Q.
Answer
There are mass market huge family ships offering cheap prices for thousands.....BUT..... .
There are luxury ships with better standards, usually with a lot less passengers, few children and quality everything but higher prices.
Depends what your priority is.
If you are only really interested in the facilities on the ship then doesn't really matter as they are all pretty similar.
We regard the ships as basically a floating hotel/taxi.
Very first cruise was Princess, Vancouver to Anchorage. Loved it!
Tried the big lines for several cruises. However we didn't like the crowds and missing the "real world" you pass by on the way to the next money making tourist stop, complete with 2+ other cruise ships also docked! We now go on small luxury ships as the experience with like minded people is our priority!
Went on 100 person ship Anchorage to Vancouver last August.
Never saw a big ship!
Never stopped at a tourist trap town!
No dancing girls or casino.
No crowds or queues!
Visited back of beyond small towns - bet you have never been to a hammer museum - we have now!
We spent most of the time out in the Zodiacs seeing the best show on earth - NATURE!
-In front of a glacier having a 10,000 ton calving (mini tsunami moved the Zodiacs around!).
-Standing in a salmon spawning stream with the fish swimming through our feet.
-Being one side of a river watching bears catching salmon on the other side!
-Spending 2 hours drifting with a pod of about 20 humpback whales bubble feeding - something
you never expect to see live other than on TV.
-Sea otters, Sea lions, humpback breaching about 50ft from us!
-Barbecued on a spit of land surrounded by nature/mini icebergs/Eagles!
-Drifting with a pod of Orca whales as we approached northern Victoria Island in
the Inside Passage.
-Total sensory overload all the time etc. etc.
-You don't compromise comfort or good food! Yes they are more expensive - but worth it!
Remember on the small ships all these excursions are "free" as they are part of the package and of course with only a few people you visit places / see things unreachable by big ships.
If you are really adventurous you could even try dog sledging just South of Anchorage. We drove down in a rental car, you get helicoptered up on to a glacier where the Alaskan Iditorod husky dogs have their summer camp. A trip round the glacier and playing with the puppies is a very memorable experience!
