Read MoreDubai Needs To Do A Turkey
So in the disappointing aftermath of Oceana being pulled from the winter program around the Middle East, with the escalating tension as a result of the situation in Hormuz. Dubai looks surely set to take a big hit to it’s tourism figures until the situation is cleared up. It’s such a massive shame that the […]
Read MoreDouble Trouble just weeks away!
So as many of my clients and readers already know, my wife is expecting twin girls in roughly the next 4-5 weeks! Obviously they arrive when they arrive but the longer the better, and the closer to pay day the better! I am still finding myself on the occasional quite moment sitting back and just […]
Read MoreExplorer Food Impresses My Folks

Read MoreShould More Effort Be Made For Solo Cruisers?
Ok this is one of the most frustrating topics of my job, and to be honest I could be opening a huge can of worms here, but frankly after 15 years in the industry being moaned and groaned at by solo cruisers, I thought it was high time to bring it up. Firstly solo cruisers, […]
Read MoreHygiene Standards Need Improvement
So of late, I am having the same conversation over and over again with larger than normal numbers of my clients upon return from their cruise. I have started dreading people calling them to welcome them back incase they answer the phone sounding bunged up, snotty, or have an obvious cough or sore throat! Time […]
