About Me
Hello from sunny Scotland!!
My name is Charlene and I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I am enjoying writing it. I live with my husband Chris, our little boy Charlie and Ozzy the Shih Poo. We recently got married in St Lucia.
I have been working in the travel industry over 17 years now and have been very lucky to have worked and travelled all over the world. I have spent time working for independent travel agents, cruise lines and tour operators. I have worked and travelled throughout Europe, Asia, USA and the Caribbean.
I have also been lucky enough to cruise with most lines on my own family holidays and trips with work.
My personal favourite for our family holidays is Allure of the Seas. The Oasis Class ships have so much to offer for the whole family.
When it comes to luxury it has to be Regent with their all inclusive offering. No need to dip your hand into your pocket for anything with drinks, gratuities and even shore excursions included.
So here I am now, ready to become your very own personal cruise adviser. If you have never cruised before or maybe you are thinking about taking the kids and dont know where to start give me a call and I can find the cruise that is right for you. For those of you that have cruised for years and are wanting to try something different how about a River Cruise? or maybe something tailormade with only you in mind.
So if you haven’t yet caught the cruising bug give it a go. Call me today and find out what all the fuss is about!

Places I have visited
I have been so lucky over the years I have been in travel. I have managed to visit on holiday and through work lots of destinations. I have also worked in some of my listed destinations as I spent 7 years overseas as a holiday rep.
I have listed the places in order of favorites! My favorites being at the top. Although there is no place I have really disliked I just wouldnt choose to go back. Like they say though the world is your oyster why go to the same place twice when there are so many places in the world?!
