The UK has great cruise ports too….
I’ve just returned from a week down in Looe on the south coast. For anyone who loves Cornwall if you haven’t been to Looe you need to put it on your to do list. We sat down with our family one Sunday afternoon after a roast dinner and couple of glasses of wine and very […]
Read MoreLost your suitcase????
Thankfully I never have! I was speaking to a past passenger the other day who is still trying to locate his suitcases from a holiday he took last September. Unfortunately he put his camera and valuables in his suitcase as it was only being transferred from his cabin to the hanger the following morning, that […]
Read MoreLaunch into 2017
If I had £1 for every passenger that asks me ‘When is the best time to book my cruise?’ I would be a very rich Cruise Agent. Well I now have the answer to this very important question, so I’m hoping I can take early retirement. If you want to to have the widest choice […]
Read MoreCaribbean crime rate heightens
Recent reports suggest that cruise lines are becoming increasingly worried with the crime rate in certain Caribbean ports. It has been said that the crime in St Lucia had become so bad, that cruise lines might consider dropping it from their itineraries. This is something that Norwegian Cruise Line actually did between 2010-2012 due to […]
Read MoreCruise lines abandon Faroe Islands following horrific mass whale slaughter
I read this article a couple weeks ago regarding the mass slaughter of Whales on the Faroe islands and was shocked and horrified such a tradition still existed in this day and age. It turned my stomach as I scrolled down my ipad to sea photos of the sea turning a crimson shade of red, […]
Read MoreI’ve never had an upgrade………..
I must have heard hundreds of my passengers say this to me over the years, my response is usually ‘well if you don’t ask you don’t get, you never know maybe it will happen on the next one.’ Or ‘I’ve cruised 10 years with XYZ and I’ve never been upgraded, what do we need to […]
Read MorePaying for extras all the time……..
With new ships hitting the ocean and more people starting to cruise, you would think the cruise lines would be trying to make things easier for customers; however it would seem over the last 12 months our wonderful cruise lines are taking great pleasure of confusing customers more & more. Free drinks, extra OBC, free […]
Read MoreScattered here, scattered there……….
Ever thought about what may happen to your bits when you leave this wonderful world. Think no further, if you are an avid cruiser and would like your spirit to reach far and wide, why not think about having your ashes scattered at sea. Speaking to one of my friends last week, she told me […]
Read MoreBye bye Thomson
Sad news today to hear that TUI will soon be fading out the UK’s favourite ‘Thomson’ brand along with ‘First choice’ which joined forces with Thomson a few years back. Having worked for Thomson for many years, I can quite safely say they are one of the best Companies I have ever worked for. […]
Read MoreIs the calibre of cruising dropping???
With bigger ship joining fleets and fleets in general expanding you will most probably have noticed the abundance of jaw dropping deals hitting the WEB sites and shop windows. Cruising is by far no longer the luxurious holiday that only the middle class society and above can afford. 7 night fly cruise £449pp, 8 night […]
