Wayne's Water World

This is a recurring topic. Only this last week, I had very lengthy discussions with a couple who had never cruised. All their friends cruise but this elderly couple still have not. One of them wanted to, the other did not. Will they ever cruise? My conclusion...    sorry to…

So how has cruising changed so much over the years then? Well one thing is true and that is that cruising nowadays is not simply for a priveleged elite amongst us. Cruising now is for everyone, whatever their tastes. One thing for certain, but this is indicative of not just…

Cruising has almost always been thought of as the most all-inclusive holiday when compared to land based package holidays but the “all-inclusive” tag is, with some cruise lines, dare I say Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity, Princess, P & O, Cunard to name but a few, not quite as all-inclusive as it…

This clearly needs still more clarification. An obvious scenario following on from this is then...    when is a FREE cabin upgrade a…

I constantly get cruise enquiries from very eager wives who want to cruise, who then tell me that their partner is not interested, and it all falls flat. Much to her disappointment. Of course, I successfully persuade far more couples to cruise than those who choose not to. My answer has…
