P&O 2021-2022
Last week was a busy week for P&O as they released their Summer 2021 schedules and unusually also their Winter 2021/22 schedules too. For the next month or so they will be offering past passengers a 10% discount off of their fares and for new guests a 5% discount. And of course, if you book […]
Read MoreCruise Anarchy in the North Atlantic
Norwegian Cruiselines rarely sail from the UK, so when they advertised the Norwegian Spirit for sailings out of Southampton it was a welcome change to some of the usual cruise lines and the itineraries was rather nice. Iceland is a perfect destination to sail to and make use of days in port, as it is […]
Read MoreGoodbye & Thank You
Last week on the 23rd September 2019 saw the end of travel era of a company with 178 years of history in the industry, with the very sad news that Thomas Cook went into compulsory liquidation. With a loss of over 22000 jobs, my heart goes out to all those affected. Thomas Cook will always […]
Read MoreVirgins gone punk
This weekend saw the press release of the potential uniforms for the crew on board the new Virgin Voyages, the first being the Scarlet Lady which is due to set sail in April 2020. Unfortunately due to copyright laws, I cannot publish a photo of the said look, but have to say when I first […]

Read MoreHoliday time
Hola from a very hot Spain. The weather here has been extremely hot with temperatures reaching over 40 degrees. Not the most comfortable weather to be working in but with the sea breeze and plenty of fans around me I have survived (I have aircon but am not a fan so leave this off). Now, […]
Read MoreCould Gratuities be a thing of the past?
Gratuities, always a hot topic of conversation for us Brits. Our cousins from across the pond happily pay a gratuity and expect to pay at least 15-20% on service provided in bars, restaurants, hotels (the list goes on) even if the service has been poor. But as a nation, we British really do not like having […]
Read MoreVancouver after a cruise
Last week I spoke to some regular guests of mine who had just returned from a back to back Alaska sailing with Princess Cruises. They had a wonderful time and loved the experience of Alaska. Prior to joining the cruise, they did have a couple of nights booked in Vancouver so they could explore this […]
