…of places like the Faroe Islands and the Shetlands, and discovered magical new places that I never expected to see. I went on an Asia cruise largely because I wanted to get to Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore, but we ended up going to places like Langkawi, Borneo, and Ho Chi Minh city, which I had never thought of going to. So cruising really does allow you to discover and experience surprising, unexpected places you never considered. There are…

In ports new to me, I almost always go on a cruise line excursion – even if it is one of the “on your own” tours which are part escorted and part free time. Splash Out On Speciality Dining Speciality Dining is one area that I more torn on. I was in the “not worth it” camp but have moved into the “it is worth spending on” in some cases.

That’s new management, new crew, and we just don’t know how that’s going to settle down. #3 Burnt The third area of cruise lines I avoid are those I have grown apart from. Over time, our tastes change. My very first ship was P&O Aurora. And because it was my first ship, I stuck with P&O Cruises after that. I booked a Mediterranean cruise. It was fine.
