This week I had the pleasure of speaking with a rather lovely gentleman and booking his next cruise from Southampton to Sydney on the Queen Victoria as part of her world cruise in January 2016. The gentleman in question was booking a cabin for himself and his lady, whom he…

Recently on the Royal Princess I was given the opportunity to experience both of their speciality restaurants whilst on board. Sabatinis the Italian and the Crown Grill for the meat eaters. Both have a supplement of $25 per head and offer something a bit different from the run of the…
