November and Black Friday offers…..
Will Black Friday float your boat? ( I do know it’s a ship). It’s the end of October and people have stopped planning for holidays. Christmas is just around the corner the high street is full of advent calendars, Santa outfits and Christmas trees. Focus goes on to wrapping presents and writing Christmas cards. Making lists […]
Read MoreBalcony 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 to check the authenticity of […]
Read MoreWhy are Visa’s to China so Complicated?
I chose to travel to China on an escorted tour back in 2007 visiting Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Yangtze River cruise, terracotta Warriors, Great Wall, Forbidden City and much much more. As I was working in Switzerland at the time my Chinese visa was applied for at Bern, the capital of Switzerland, at the Chinese embassy. […]
Read MoreWhat is the strangest thing you have seen at sea?
‘what is the strangest thing you have seen at sea.’ Instead of replying about the Whales, dolphins, giant octopus, and other wonderful sea creatures I have seen. I started to describe the things that amazed me on board the ship. The characters that are larger than life and always make cruising interesting. There was one […]
Read MoreBaby on Board, is as good as the best loyalty programme on ships.
My son Max is now 4 years old and we had his Pirate party last week. What else would the son of two sailors want? It was his decision though, when Sonja and I asked him what kind of party he would like. No pressure from either of us at all. We have travelled as […]
Read MoreWhat is the history of the ship you are on?
Many people ask about how many people there will be on a ship? But I have never been asked about a ships spiritual side! What history does your cruise ship have? Who sailed on the ship before you? Who slept in the cabin before you? Did they leave, when it was time to disembark! WHHHHOOOOOHHH […]
Read MoreFamily Cruises…. Failing to plan ahead, Is planning to Fail
Cruises are really getting popular with families. Not just rich families, but your average lets go on a foreign holiday type of family. I can see why, when you start to look at the prices of places like Butlin’s, Centre Parks, Haven or even a B&B stay near the coast. The price per person per […]
Read MoreCabin Stewards deserve to be treated…. Better
Is it just me…. Or do you want your cabin steward to get some time off? They are the friendliest crew and happy to serve. They always have a smile and ask how your day has been. I know it is mad, but when I sail, on any ship I find that the confined space […]
Read MoreCruise 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. Oh and of course the […]
Read MoreEnding it all on a cruise. Sad but true.
I really feel for everyone who has known the 252 People who have jumped from ships to end their pain and loneliness over the last 17 years. Nobody, really can say what makes a person feel so desperate to take their own life, but jumping from a ship fully clothed in Winter or Summer is […]
