…t one. This first sailing is a 7-Night Eastern Caribbean cruise on Holland America’s Eurodam and, as well as a special cruise rate, it will include events like a welcome cocktail party, two meet ups with Q&As, trivia and other fun events, group afternoon tea, group dinner on one of the “dressy” nights and other surprises along the way. If you would like to join my first-ever group cruise, you can find out more about it, the bonus content and other…
…am was light, and predictable following classic cruise lines, like Holland America, Princess, and Celebrity. They had trivia, deck games, karaoke, piano bar, and an enrichment speaker. But it was light overall. When it came to the production shows, they had spent money on a surprisingly large cast of 12 considering the size of the ship and all were very talented. However, the shows they got them to perform were predictable, and focused too much on…
…the channel. Group Cruise Must-Knows Unlike my first group cruise (Holland America Eurodam Caribbean in April 2024) which is exclusively for YouTube Channel Members and Patreon Patrons, this will be open to all Tips For Travellers fans, and will be a larger group. This second group cruise (11-Night Celebrity Eclipse Canada) is in and out of Boston and includes stops in Rockland, Halifax, Sydney, Quebec (overnight), Charlottetown and Portland from…

…French Polynesia is in the Pacific. Located roughly halfway between South America and Australia. In all there are 118 islands, stretching over a staggering 1,200 miles (2,000km). Cruising French Polynesia Best #1: Islands & Scenery Without a shadow of a doubt, one enormous highlight of the cruise was the phenomenal and unique scenery across these islands. I was absolutely blown away by what I saw. Volcanic, soaring mountains, lushly covered with…
…two big companies that offer cruises along the Mississippi, which are the American Queen Voyages and the American Cruise Lines. They sail a mixture of paddle steamers with the big wheels at the back, and more modern style river ships. Of course, there are many more rivers of the world that you can go cruising. And all the time, companies are finding ways to go on more and more rivers. It’s a beautiful way to go and see a part of the world. Intima…
…oundation was formed. They effectively give the Oscars of cooking in North America, it seems mostly. They have a partnership with James Beard Foundation and, as you’ll see, there’s some partnerships in some of the restaurants, but all the menus have different chefs from the James Beard Awards sprinkled through the menu. That’s important to understand. There are six different places that you can get food onboard the Star Pride. What Are The Options…
…nimal Behaviour A few cruises before my Windstar sailing, I was on Holland America’s Oosterdam. I posted a series of towel animals that my cabin steward made during the trip. This also divided cruisers. Many left comments saying that they are fun, they bring a smile to their face, and they are a great little treat that they enjoy coming back to at the end of the night. Others argued they are a waste of overstretched cabin steward time who should b…
…ke Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, or MSC. I’m seeing loads of kids on Holland America, on Seabourn. Mobile Phone Wi-Fi was crazy expensive, but that has changed. The mobile phone has become an absolute essential for cruising, whether we like it or not. And there’s a couple of things that it’s fundamental for. First of all, I already mentioned it is my prime camera. I take all my photographs with it. In fact, I use my mobile phone to more now to video…
…nd New England cruise in September 2024 is now unfortunately sold out. If you want to be put on the waitlist (in case anyone has to cancel), please email [email protected] and let her know, along with which cabin grade or grades you would prefer. My Patron and Member Holland America Caribbean cruise in April still has some places, although last date to book will be 30 November 2023. So, if that appeals and you want to become…
…tition at. Food was though better than on say “premium” lines like Holland America, Princess, and Celebrity. Though their sister like Oceania, also owned by Norwegian, probably gives them a run for their money too! Service I think the other thing that they do well is service. Of course, all luxury lines, have great service. I must factor in that some crew recognise, or know me, from my YouTube channel, but everyone I spoke to agreed that crew are…
