Biggest Cruise Excursion Mistakes & How To Avoid Them

The highlight was going to see penguins in the Falklands, which for most would be the only cruise they’ll ever go on to see penguins in their natural environment. But I met so many that had waited until they got on board to try and book that excursion – it was sold out. I booked months ahead and got to see them. I put in my diary…

Everything Your Cabin Steward Can Do For You If You Just Ask!

…twice a day are offering the option to opt in once a day like on a Holland America trip I recently did. And, of course, you can ask for even less if you prefer from your cabin steward. However, what I like to do is get the cabin steward to tailor when my room is serviced to meet my schedule which they usually are willing to do. For me, I tend to go to breakfast in the Main Dining Room every day and as it opens. So, I ask my cabin steward at the st…

Not Telling Your Cruise Line These 6 Things Could Sink Your Cruise

…e, just this week, someone wanting to do a repositioning cruise on Holland America Nieuw Statendam from Europe via Iceland, Greenland, and Canada to New York, told me they planned to simply leave in Canada, as it was closer to home.

Here’s What It’s REALLY Like On A Viking Ocean Cruise

…zamara. So, between premium lines with bigger ships like Princess, Holland America, Celebrity, and Cunard, and the ultra-luxury lines, like Silversea, Seabourn, Crystal, and Regent. Here’s what my cruise cost me. I booked a 10-night Alaska voyage with a cruise-only fare without flights, in a Penthouse Veranda cabin. That is a middle range of all the cabins. It cost me £10,700 / $13,500. That is $1,350 a night. That is the price for two people, but…

If you go on a classic cruise line and ship carrying over 500 passengers, like Holland America, Norwegian, Oceania or Regent Seven Seas, then no landings are allowed.

Regent Claims It’s the BEST Cruise Line – Here’s What I Found!

…. Most of the ports are the same as a group cruise I am running on Holland America next year. So, a premium not ultra-luxury category cruise line. However, the excursions available to purchase on that are way more varied and significantly better than most of the excursions included on this Regent trip. I assume to work within budget, the Regent included tours a bit basic and limited. I feel they’re squeezing the quality of excursions, and to do be…
