About Me

My Photo
My journey into travel and cruising was purely by accident! This was 10 years ago when I turned up at the doorstep of Cruise.co.uk eager and ready to work - I was told that I would be loading booking forms and undertaking general administration duties - within 18 months I had travelled to Florida, Hawaii and the Mediterranean and seen that cruising was the most exciting part of travel there was. My very first cruise experience was on a 2* all inclusive cruise ship called the Thomson Topaz that some may still remember - this really opened my eyes to cruising - luckily my second cruise was the Norwegian Star to Hawaii so I kind of went from one extreme to the other! In 10 years the cruise industry has exploded and I'm looking forward to what the next 10 years in cruising brings.

All Inclusive Comeback Halted?

So just last month Royal Caribbean had rolled out the all inclusive option on the Independence Of The Seas, fantastic news!, what with a bottle of beer costing $5.50 plus your service charge this could be great value at $29 per person per day for the package which covers house wine, beer, cider and lager - depending on how much you dfink of course!


Well it was short lived I'm afraid! Royal Caribbean have suspended the all inclusive option for the sailing on the 5th April from Southampton - why o why, well I don't know the specifics but could it be that the Brits love to have 1, 2 or 3 too many? the all inclusive option is still on other cruise ships that this was tested on ?

Perhaps Royal Caribbean lost money on this new venture by testing it on the Brits first, they have said that the package will be re-instated on the 16th April voyage but i would imagine that there will be a few conditions attached!
