Hello, and welcome to my page. I have been working in the Travel Industry for over 38 years, it really just seems like yesterday! I am married with 2 grown up children and a beautiful grand daughter. After a couple of years at New College Durham learning Travel and Tourism…
It does not seem that long ago when Egypt was a really popular destination for us travellers, and in particular a Nile cruise. Of course, events in the world stopped all that and for a while it seemed like we would never be able to visit such a marvellous place…
Where do you go for your weekly food shopping? I bet you are thinking what a strange question to ask, in relation to my job here at Cruise! To solve the mystery the reason why I am asking is really showing the comparison between luxury and non luxury cruises. The…
My wonderful cruise on the Celebrity Silhouette took us to the Fjords in Norway. Saying the Fjords, we actually only went to one fjord Geiranger, and the rest of the time we visited Alesund, Bergen and Stavanger. I have been to the Fjords before and yes, I know that there…
