One thing I hear A LOT when it comes to picking a cabin is advice like: “Just book the cheapest, you won’t spend much time in your room anyway.” I do agree that you probably won’t spend loads of time in an inside cabin, but that doesn’t really work for the other cabin types. ????????

In my experience, the nicer the cabin, the more time you’ll actually want to spend there! ????❤️

If I have a balcony, I might stay in and order room service, whereas if I’m in an inside cabin, eating inside doesn’t have the same appeal. ????????

If you’re out and about exploring all day, an inside works perfectly. If you’re like me and spend hours in your cabin every day, a balcony mighttttttt be a better option. ????️????

Anyway, if cruise ships had capsule hotel cabins, I’d happily stay in one of those too. I’m just happy to be at sea. ????✈️

If you live in the UK, you will probably have heard of Marella Cruises. Marella are a British cruise line that advertises widely in the UK, but who really are they?

I once went from cruising onboard Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 – surrounded by formality and tradition – to cruising onboard the MSC Seaview – surrounded by sparkles and waterslides – within a week.

The formality of a cruise line affects more than just dining and dress codes.

I have taken two cruises from Singapore to Tokyo. The first was onboard Golden Princess, the second was onboard the Spectrum of the Seas – a Royal Caribbean ship built for the Asian market.

I would go as far as to say that these Asian cruises have been my favourite cruises of all time.

With the First Mate Rolo’s being delivered very soon I’ve been thinking about the next versions… ????????

As both are so loved and have raised so much for charity, I’d love to create a PAIR where you can get both together as a bundle! Perhaps with matching outfits? ????????????

Do you have any ideas?! If yep, please share them on Facebook here.

Hopefully, we can carry on raising lots and lots for charity. Thank you all so so much. ????????

Have you ever considered selling up and moving on to a cruise ship full-time?

Over the past few years a few companies have sprung up offering people the opportunity to live at sea. Some of these companies have been more successful than others.
