After 7 rough days at sea… I’m home! I’m so so glad I took the trip, but so so so glad to be back on land now. I feel so much better. 😂❤️

I took a transatlantic from New York to Southampton onboard Cunard’s Queen Mary 2. I knew the weather might be bad in January, but I figured it’d either be good weather or a good story to tell you. It certainly will be that! 😅😇

This trip has confirmed to me that cruises with more than a couple of sea days in a row aren’t for me as, unfortunately, I do feel unwell if I’m at sea and in bad weather. 🌦️🤟🏼

That’s all good though, there are about 64738574 cruises that fit the criteria of not having too many sea days. 🥰🤩

I’d happily cruise on Queen Mary 2 again. There’s something really special about her. She’s a grand lady. 🙌🏼☀️

The week before our sailing, I received an email telling me that my parents had been upgraded at no extra cost to a standard balcony cabin from an obstructed view cabin.

They were pleased with the upgrade and thought no more about it. Little did they know what they had let themselves in for…

We are closing the sales on Captain Hudson V5 in less than a week (on the 22nd or sooner if we sell out faster). PLEASE don’t miss out if you’d like one. Please please.

All profits go to Mercy Ships and I’d really really appreciate your help in raising as much as we possibly can. If you know somebody you could gift one to to spread the word about Mercy Ships, that’d be A-MAZING.

MONEY-SAVING CRUISE TIP OF THE WEEK:

If you are looking to buy WiFi on a cruise, it’s usually cheaper for one person to buy a two-device package than two people to buy a one-device package.

The 2nd person can just login with the same login as person 1. Easy peasy. 🤫🤫

If you are considering a cruise with either P&O Cruises or Cunard, you may be wondering how they compare.

I’ve cruised with both cruise lines, so in this post, we will explore the differences in dress codes, dining, onboard experience, and more.

If you are taking a cruise on Fred. Olsen’s smallest ship, Balmoral, you might be wondering whether an inside cabin would suit you.

My parents booked a last-minute cruise on her and booked the cheapest cabin onboard. This is what they thought of that cabin.

The Queen Mary has had an incredibly busy and exciting life. She was built in 1936 and sailed for 30 years before retiring in 1967.

I stayed on board the ship in 2011 and have always found the history of the ship to be fascinating.

My boy Rolo turned 1 this week, and by popular demand, he’s being promoted from Cadet to First Mate! Everybody congratulate First Mate Rolo, my lovely rescue doggy from Romania. 😂🐕

It normally takes about 5 or 10 years to do all that training, but hey, we are working in dog years here, right? Captain Hudson gave him the promotion. 🤣🐈
