How I Cruise Solo Cheaper, Smarter and Better

…I find if I focus on a theme, for example in the Caribbean, I always book beach and snorkelling tours, I find the same people also doing the same. So, it’s easy to get to know them. In other regions where I want to do more varied excursions, I book those that are activities like on m recent Norwegian Fjords cruise things like cooking, white-water rafting, hiking or something I knew I would be grouped with others, an RIB boat trip. #5 Activities O…

…s panoramic coach tours. In the Caribbean instead of booking a cruise line beach excursion I use a site called ResortPass.com. As an example, for an upcoming Koningsdam Mexico trip they had stunning resorts in Puerto Vallarta for way less. However, if I don’t want to self-explore, my go to alternative is using a third-party provider like VentureAshore.com and ShoreExcursionsGroup.com. I input my cruise line, ship, and departure date, and it brings…

Christmas Cruising Wasn’t What I Expected. Here’s Why

…n we had a tender port in Cabo San Lucas. We got off the ship, went to the beach and by the time we came back, the line was enormous. It took well over an hour to get a tender ride back. It goes without saying that the pool deck was overcrowded, with kids even taking over the adult’s pool at times. We decided before the trip, because we did expect it to be busy, to spend a money on getting away from it all and book ourselves into The Retreat, whic…

I Cruised On The “World’s Most Luxurious Line”. Here’s what I thought

The small-group excursions coupled with the choice on offer in each port clearly was also where a big chunk of my fare was going. Entertainment I don’t think my money was really going on top-notch entertainment though. The daily program was light, and predictab…

8 Things I Didn’t Expected To Happen On Ultra-Luxury Cruise Lines

…one else up by being late for meet-up times. On an excursion to a Barbados beach on my recent ultra-luxury cruise, one couple held up the whole tour because they decided on one last swim in the sea just as we were due to be packing up to return to the ship. They expected us all to wait for them. This meant we were late and missed lunch. Bad behaviour happens at all levels, I found. Will the ship wait for you? Something that I‘ve found, even on the…

Once everyone was back on board, the Captain told us the ice had melted enough for us to cross Baffin Bay, to explore the Canadian Artic and we would cross there now.

I Discovered The Best (& Worst) Things About Cruising Japan

…example, if you’re in Shimizu, go to the Miho No Matsubara Pine Forest and beach as it is the spot the picture postcard shot of Mount Fuji is taken. The day I went there, it was covered in cloud, but did see it from the port later. I loved visiting the Ryugado Caves at Kochi, stalagmite caves with 800 steps in and out of it. But fascinating. Also, at Aoshima island as well as a Shrine is the unusual Devil’s Washboard where waves created famous gri…

The Best Sights To See In Japan On A Cruise Ship

…. So, next we went to Miho No Matsubara with its 30,000 pine trees and 5km beach. Still the clouds obscured Mount Fuji! Back at the port, it was time to explore the bonkers S-Pulse Dream Plaza packed with food and groceries stalls, and a truly mad games arcade. While there the clouds cleared & I saw Mount Fuji at last, and again sailing out. Kobe – via Cruise Ship Next up was Kobe. We were here overnight, so plenty of time to explore. As always, i…

If I’d read the detail properly, I would’ve realised that we spent almost half of that time doing a shopping excursion at a centre with chocolate making, candle making, T-shirt screen printing, and other shopping stuff.

…ourse, take up a large space too. There is also a paid-for adult-only Vibe Beach Club with pools and bar. Then of course the go-karts and the game space, which closes off another big part of the ship if you don’t want to use that. So, I could see why for those not in The Haven, solo cabins, or using the kids clubs or adult only area it would feel being crammed into a smaller amount of space.
