Cruises, Cruise Deals & Cruise Holidays

Do feel sea days take some time to get used to, so best to start with only one or two and then on the next cruise a few more etc.,

Hello, I am taking my family on the Oceana this coming May around the med, grand children included! Is the standard of cabin good...drinks expensive?...having just come off an Fred Olsen ship looking forward to PO to compare ...Gary

I must admit, I have come to look forward to sea days - lie in in the morning, leisurely breakfast, dance class, morning coffee, sunbathe with book, lunch at Bordeaux (on Aurora), spa appointment, afternoon tea, more reading and relaxing. I usually manage a session at the gym too (got to if attending afternoon tea regularly). Then plenty of time to get ready for first sitting. Going on Aurora for 17 days (nine at sea) in July. Already looking for suitable books to take to read...

For all your enjoyment of the experience, I note that you have not cruised again in the past four and a half years!

Love your comments which come from an obvious first-timer but your first cruise is often one of the best you will ever do. Many things get better as you become more accustomed to cruise life but the excitement and novelty of that first cruise remains with you. Well done, well said and many more of them in the future. .......Neil

Good points, well made! I do know what you mean about flying to destinations, as days at sea are a bit of an acquired taste.
