Deck the Halls….Or Not!!
So its almost here, the big day we spend months shopping, planning and running around like lunatics for. Santa will be busy wrapping his presents, loading up the sleigh and shimmying down our chimneys...or using the magic key in our case as we have a log burner so I'm not…

2018 Ready…Set…Book!!
So in August P&O and Cunard took the industry by surprise when they announced they would be launching their 2018 programme in September, a whole 7 months earlier than the usual launch period. Why have they done this? Well, the truth is we don't really know. The speculation amongst some is…
