…ab watch my Cunard Queen Victoria Master Suite (Q2 Caronia Suite) Tour and review. Possibly one of the most luxurious (and costly) cabins you can cruise in is this Queens Grill suite on board the Queen Victoria cruise ship, which is the same as a similar suite on the sister ship Queen Elizabeth. Queens Grill is the “first class” on the ship and the Caronia Suite is a Q2, which means it is the second biggest grade of suite on the ship with the Gran…
…the same formula as the other premium cruise lines and are song-and-dance review type shows. On the plus side the shows on Celebrity use modern songs, and they’re all within the last two or three years and so are more contemporary and modern, again linking back to that take on a more modern spin on traditional premium cruising. The shows were good, but they were pretty much the same in terms of style and approach to the other premium lines. Excur…
…rising omission when committing to weeks on a ship. Do your research, read reviews, talk to past passengers and your travel agent to make sure you’re going on the right cruise line and the right ship for you. Ideally, if it is a new cruise line for you, go on a short cruise with them on the exact ship and in the grade of cabin you are thinking of. Test it out to see if it is for you before you commit your precious time and money for a long voyage….

…hey have the World Stage, which is where you’ll find the production shows, review shows, special guests, etc. Holland America also have a partnership with BBC Planet Earth, and they have some live concerts where they’re themed around different Planet Earth shows so you see beautiful wildlife scenery with a live orchestra playing. I was a bit sceptical about the concept, but I went to it and honestly thought it was really impressive. So, there are…

Of course, we also need to see what the CDC decides on the role of vaccinations, if any, in their Framework For Conditional Sailing as roll out occurs. I am sure there will be much more news on this topic over the coming months, and much discussion and angst too. I will keep you posted. Alaska Upd…

…hat gives good insight into what you will find on board. Of course, online reviews, YouTube videos and using a travel agent to check the line is right makes sense too. But once you find a line that works for you, there is another thing I did that I should not have- and see many others doing too. Changing Lines When I started cruising, I used one line, which was P&O Cruises as that was my first and worked just fine for me. I had no issues. It’s wha…

There was cabaret of some kind most nights in The Manor, as an option too. Some were classic circus acts and others by singers, but also some were more edgy like “Never Sleep Alone” a sex and relationship therapist. This one was more divisive, but again that seemed more…
