Hello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul, and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Bill Armstrong of Warmstrong Adventures. You know, I often find potential guests on YouTube which is on non-stop in my house. With Bill it was different; he’s a Facebook friend that just kept posting fun and interesting content. So, I invited him on not even knowing about his channel!

 

Bill shared with me, “I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I’m a proud graduate of Cass Tech High School and Eastern Michigan University. I spent my career in law enforcement, eventually becoming Chief of Police in a small city just outside of Detroit. I’m retired now, and believe me, cruising is a whole lot more relaxing than chasing bad guys! I was married, have two wonderful kids, a son and a daughter, and now I am the proud grandfather of two grandkids. I am divorced these days, and most of my family still lives here in Michigan. My cruising addiction started back in 1990 when my wife and I took a Carnival cruise for our anniversary. Little did I know that one cruise would turn into roughly 90 cruises and a serious case of wanderlust! And here’s the funny thing: after all those cruises, I’ve never had a bad one. Some were definitely better than others, but hey, a bad day on a cruise ship still beats a good day shoveling snow in Michigan!

 

I started my YouTube channel, Warmstrong Adventures, just to share my travels with family and friends. Somehow, complete strangers started watching, and even more surprisingly, they wanted to hear what I had to say! What started as vacation videos turned into a great community of fellow travelers. Now that I am retired, my goal is simple: cruise more, explore more, and enjoy life while I can. I have been cruising since 1990, and I have absolutely no plans to stop. My biggest problem these days is figuring out which ship I am getting on next! And like I always say, stay strong and embrace the journey!”
