Balcony cabin for 7 nights cruise only £199! Can that be possible?

Sometimes we see offers that look too good to be true... Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas from Dubai on the 16th December 2019. But this one was actually available for a little while and did exist until they sold all the cabins.... Then we still had hundreds of calls…

Why are Visa’s to China so Complicated?

Cabin Stewards deserve to be treated…. Better

Cruise adverts for someone who is new to cruise… Confusing or what….

Just tell me your best price please! Why can cruise ships not have a standard way of pricing that goes throughout the industry? The cruise companies realise cruisers are all intelligent people. Doctors, teachers, actors, motor racing drivers, builders, electricians, sales people to name a few of the working ones.…

Ending it all on a cruise. Sad but true.
