Hawaii Dream Vacations by Abby

The endless buffets, pizza stands open all hours of the night, hours of lounging on white sand beaches sipping Mai Tais - the idea of a cruise vacation normally doesn’t seem to compliment a healthy lifestyle based around smart eating and staying in shape. 

This isn’t so with Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), who has partnered with the healthy food magazine (and where I must admit I get many of my "secret" recipes), Cooking Light, to provide healthy meal option onboard the NCL ships.  Since 1999, NCL incorporates appetizer, entree, and dessert recipes provided by Cooking Light into the menus on their ships.  I was so excited when I heard this, considering that NCL is the main cruise line sailing throughout Hawaii and for me, the most familiar and the closest to home.

NCL also offers fitness rooms, tracks, and rock climbing walls, among many other amenities, on their ships so a cruise with NCL doesn’t have to completely sabatoge all of your efforts at staying healthy.

I can’t wait to try the sauteed tilapia with lemon-peppercorn sauce on my next cruise!
