Cruise Tips for Over 50’s Travellers From a 50+ Traveller

…bins/. They fill up fast, especially when you do Transatlantic crossing on Queen Mary 2, that’s a good starting point, but plan way ahead and focus on lines that have solo cabins.

Although lines are reluctant to discuss this, as it sounds ghoulish and they fear it has the wrong connotations, I guess, ships do have a morgue on board and are required to carry body bags. It’s just sensible. So, don’t believe the stories about ships emptying out the ice cream store or whatever to store a body. Dumping What is and is not put i…

Discover The Best Place To Stay On A Cruise Ship. And Why!

…the Antarctic Peninsula. Or perhaps, on a winter Transatlantic crossing on Queen Mary 2. Does being on the middle deck mean I am giving up the best views? Best views In my experience on the scenic cruises, I’ve been on, I can see I would get fantastic views on the middle deck. In Alaska, it’s more eye level with the glaciers. Going through the Panama Canal it’s closer to the walls and the mules that help guide the ship through. You’re just perfect…

13 Things I Wish I’d Know Before Doing A Disney Cruise

…friend rather than a partner, note that in most of the cabins it’s a fixed queen bed. Unlike other cruise lines, it can’t be split into twins. Also bear in mind that many cabins are designed for multiple occupancy. The one I was in could sleep at least three other people.
