Hi, I'm Trevor Smith and I joined the travel industry in 2001 as a part time travel consultant. Over the years and as the industry took a grip of my career I have moved through the ranks. Going full time in 2002 I soon went into management, training and development.…
As some of you maybe aware Royal Caribbean have moved their call centre from the UK and America to Guatemala. Why? Well I can tell you it is not for the service they provide. After months of being patient with them and letting them bed into their new job, and…
Following on from other cruise lines and perhaps more so Royal Caribbeans recent fleet wide refit program P&O have just announced that the Aurora will be undergoing a 26 million pound refit. A huge amount of money for a ship last refitted in 2009 and went into service in 2000.…

So the whole world is talking football now, well at least in my world and I wondered how well are the cruise ships taking to it. This has to be one of the best World Cups in my living memory, shock results, lots of goals and some controversy as always,…
My last day on the cruise ship and so far so good. Today was a slow sail back to Southampton, so slow we hardly moved which was great as this reduced the breeze around the pool and the sports courts. As per my previous days I had great breakfast followed…
Today was another Port of Call day, this time in Le Havre where there where a few excursion options, the most popular being a day trip to Paris. For those that are not aware Paris is some 2.5 hours away by coach so the day can be very long and…
