About Me

Rachels photos 703

Hello, I’m Carl, I was born and still live in Leeds, West Yorkshire with my wife, our  3 year old daughter Ava, along with our first ‘child’ our 12 year old dog Molly.

Since an early age I have always loved being on holiday. From a young age I spent every year camping near Antibes in the South Of France. I absolutely love this area of France which feels like my second home so if this area happens to be on your itinerary on your next cruise, I can certainly give you some hints and tips.

As I grew older I travelled further afield to see new destinations and explore new cultures. My wife often believes I have a holiday addiction as no sooner do we return than I am thinking about our next one. This has intensified since I discovered cruising.

Now In terms of working in the Travel Industry I am a relative new comer. Having worked as a manager for a high street Clothing Retailer for over 15 years since leaving School, the time had come for a change. I had always had an interest in travel and cruising was becoming a bit of a hobby so I thought I should put my passion to good use. I went to work as a Cluster Manager for a major high street travel agency.  I was there for 2 years and it has been a great experience only heightening my interest in travel and particularly cruising. I wanted to specialise in one area and I have been lucky enough to be able to join cruise.co.uk which will allow me to do just that. And after being at Cruise.co.uk for coming up to 2 years i can definitely say it has been one of my best decisions.

Other than travelling my time is pretty much spent, as it is with most parents, trying to keep my very active 3 year old busy, going to the park, playing with her toys and acting out all sorts of lets pretend. On the odd occasion I do get a night off I love to socialise with friends over a good meal.
