So, it’s kind of mid-range in the category, I guess. However, on the plus side, I liked that I could request any table size I wanted. So, on the first day, as a solo adult traveller, I ask to get a table to myself, which was great. But also, I could have joined other similar…

…rvices that runs shops for 15 lines including Celebrity, Carnival, Holland America, Royal Caribbean, and Virgin Voyages. The other is the UK-based Harding+ which runs shops for 14 lines including Cunard, Fred Olsen, Oceania, Princess, P&O Cruises and Regent.

…e so much choice. So, in the P&O category, I’ve also got Princess, Holland America, Celebrity, Cunard, and Virgin Voyages to choose from. They are all in the same category and offer the same sort of pricing, so best to book one of those instead. #4 Price The fourth thing that I avoid is changing a cruise line for the sake of change. Particularly if I’m changing for the worst reason, which is price. It took my partner and I 20 years to get his sist…
