Bikes At Sea...a travel blog

'Bikes At Sea' is a blog about our travels with our motorcycles on cruise ships. These specialty cruises are arranged by ETA Cruises, www.cruise-eta.com, and are aboard Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas.

It all started when we found out about the cruises from Barbara's Cousin David and his wife Annette. They are our riding and cruise partners. They're on a beautiful purple Electra Glide Ultra Classic. They've done 8 or 9 of these cruises.

We did our first motorcycle cruise April 12th - 21st, 2012. At that time our bike was a Honda Shadow Aero 750. At first we had reservations because we knew most if not all of the other bikes on the cruise would be Harley-Davidsons.

It turns out it didn't really matter that we were on a Honda and the 750 did just fine 'two-up' on all the hills.  

Our next motorcycle cruise is scheduled for March 11th - 21st, 2014 aboard the same ship. This time we'll be on our Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic.

We should fit in much better with the big bike. We're really looking forward to doing the rides on this bike...especially Barbara as she will be much more comfortable back on her 'throne' instead of the little seat on the Honda. 

Following are the blog entries from our first cruise. They're also posted, with pictures, on my blog 'Two Wheels Down'.
