The Mystery of the Disappearing Suitcase….. or, Steve’s Epic World Cup Adventure!
It's that time of year, loads of phone calls from clients wanting to book family cabins during the summer holidays and to be honest there is very little to offer them. They have literally 'missed the boat'. Now you would think that someone who works in the travel industry…

ITV’s The Cruise Ship – I bet Paul Ludlows not so ‘thrilled’ now he’s seen it!
It is now almost 24 hours since I watched the first episode of the new ITV documentary which follows the maiden season of the Royal Princess, sailing around the Caribbean and the Bahamas and I am still almost lost for words. Words that do spring to mind are along…
