About Me
I started Cruise.co.uk over 12 years ago. I have always been into travel since I was little and love travelling. For me cruising is the best way to take a holiday, you get to see so many destinations in one go. I have seen the cruise industry change so much in my time here so far and it keeps growing and growing. Over my time here I have been lucky enough to experience lots of cruise lines. I have also won a Big Hand Award which is an award Royal Caribbean gives out for excellent customer service. I am now married and my husband enjoys cruising as much as I do.
My Interests are singing, dancing and acting. I love to perform and started from an early age and have appeared in several professional productions including Joseph and the amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat with Phillip Schofield at the Birmingham Hippodrome. I am now a member of Alcester Musical Theatre Company which is an amateur dramatic company. I love performing on stage when I am not working and we put on a show every year at out local Theatre.
I hope you enjoy my blog and Happy Cruising.

With over 10 years cruise experience I thought it would be worth sharing the list of training courses I have completed with the different cruise and river lines. I have included all of the cruise lines that have training modules that I have completed. I have reached the highest levels that I can reach.
