Can you go without your Starbucks… Costa… Mcdonalds… To have a cruise instead?
Some people have two convenience coffees a day at a cost of £2.50 and for the convenience of having your coffee to go, would you give this up, in order to be able to afford a cruise? It may take you just over a year but at £2.15 per day times 5 working days you […]
Read MoreHow to get to dine with the Captain!
When at sea there are always fishy tales to be told during a nice meal with several glasses of fine wine. During my time working at Thomson cruises I was lucky enough to host the Captains and senior officers table at formal nights.

I am always sad to report bad news especially about any crew member who goes overboard from any ship.

Read MoreDrinks, WI-FI and 2nd passenger for less? Finishing on 5th November 2018
You must read this if you are thinking of booking to go on Independence of the Seas. The Million Dollar refit has meant the ship now has more to do than ever before. For families it makes Royal Caribbean’s already favourite ship in the UK, an even more attractive proposition. I know fun when I […]
Read MoreOff on my holidays… to Spain….
I made the mistake last week of letting my son, Max, know that we were about to go on holiday to Spain. The excitement of a 3 year old saying, every time we got in the car, ‘are we going to Spain yet’ wore off quite quickly. He even took up asking at breakfast time […]
Read MoreWhat do Spectrum and China have in common?
I chose to travel to China almost 10 years ago on an escorted tour visiting Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Yangtze River, terracotta Warriors, Great Wall, Forbidden City and much more.

Read MoreCunard 2020 is going public tomorrow… Can you plan that far ahead?
Queen Mary 2 , Queen Elizabeth or Queen Victoria? I have worked on both QM2, QV and have been lucky enough, in my role on both these ships, to have the freedom to use the public areas.
