If you are considering a cruise with a British Cruise line, P&O and Ambassador are probably the ones you are looking at – particularly if you want to take a cruise that sails from the UK, rather than booking a … Read more
ad – This content was created on a press trip (similar to that travel agents/journalists take). All thoughts and opinions are my own. I sailed from Copenhagen to Iceland on board the Norwegian Star. I knew the ship was at … Read more

Note: This post is sponsored by Marella Cruises. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and I’ve paid full price for this cruise. I have been on many Marella cruises in the past, so when it came to booking a … Read more
Have you ever wondered where the ship you enjoyed that fantastic cruise on last summer is now? Well, now it is easy to find out! I am the first to admit, I am a bit of a cruise ship nerd, … Read more
I’ve cruised with Carnival from both the US and Europe now, and to be honest, I wasn’t expecting the differences to be quite so big. It’s still the same brand, the same ships, and the same slightly chaotic fun, but … Read more
Normally, when cruise lines advertise their cruises, they show you the best cabins on the newest and most exciting ships. I’ve stayed in all kinds of rooms, from inside cabins without any windows to suites with lounges, but almost always … Read more
As cruise ships grow larger, it makes sense that certain smaller ports lack the facilities or room for them to dock alongside. When this is the case, the ship has to “tender” instead. What is Tendering? Tendering is when ships … Read more
Most of us have done it, gone to a cruise port thinking you will be in the heart of the city, only to find yourself in a container port, miles out of town. I love it when a ship docks … Read more
I have sailed with many different cruise lines and been on board many different-sized ships and I have noticed that the onboard shops tend to sell very similar things. Shops onboard often sell “duty-free” items, but the items on sale … Read more
I’ve just disembarked a week-long Carnival cruise on a ship that has to be seen to be believed. From a three-hour-long embarkation to my friends being given a full refund because their cabin was so dirty – this trip was … Read more
Hey hey! I’ve got a favour to ask. We have a few ships in The Cruise Globe that we don’t yet have photos for. That means that when somebody adds a cruise, nothing pops up in the picture box, how … Read more
For years and years, I have been talking about Marella Cruises and how much I enjoy them. I appreciate this must have been a little frustrating for some of my audience, as only British people were able to easily book … Read more
Losing your cruise card is something many of us have done. Often, it is just misplaced. Check your pockets and around your cabin, and you will probably find it. If you have lost your cruise card, it isn’t a major … Read more
I recently went on a cruise, and I stayed in a cabin that had not changed in 22 years. I booked a quirky cabin type, too, that most people don’t know is an option, and it’s certainly not a cabin … Read more
When you book your cruise online, look out for the box to tick to agree to – or decline an upgrade. If you book through a travel agent, make it clear if you don’t want an auto upgrade. While that … Read more
I see an awful lot of cruise ships, being a full-time cruise blogger. Sometimes you can go to a busy port and find three or four cruise ships docked there. It’s easy to think that cruise ships must make up … Read more
You probably won’t be surprised to know that in 2024, millions of people went on a cruise. In this post, we examine the latest data from the CLIA (Cruise Line International Association) and compare 2024 cruises to those taken in … Read more
The statistics used in this post have come from CLIA the Cruise Line International Association. I started my cruising blog back in 2016, because I loved to cruise – but many of my friends knew nothing about cruising and weren’t … Read more
Hey hey, I hope you’re having a lovely week. I’m sending this email from my cabin onboard the Norwegian Star sailing near Iceland! ???????? I know ‘The Sun DOESN’T SET’ might not sound possible, but I promise you it is! ???????? On this cruise, I’ve been visiting some of the most remote places on earth, some of which are so far north that they have 24-hour sunlight during the summer. ????️????️ I visited Svalbard (where I took a trip down a coal mine and crawled through a 60cm high tunnel), and there the sun…
