The ship, as I spoke about in my article about my earlier journey, is not a modern one and dates from 1987.

How to enjoy a stress-free Embarkation Day

…not allowed to. I’ve a whole video around what you can’t bring on board a cruise ship. But, where I see most people fall foul is they pack extension cords, which most lines do not allow, and pack more alcohol than they are allowed to. If prohibited items get picked up when your luggage is screened, you’re going to be called to security, and it’s going to disrupt your embarkation day.

7 Cruise Customs Are Being Scrapped. Which Will You Miss ?

…f you’ve wondered why ships can feel so full, here is why. The capacity of cruise ships that you see published in things like brochures or online is based on double occupancy of cabins.
