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.

I'm Back! Happy Christmas, New Year & The Big 3 - 0

Well folks its been a long time.........I have been on annual leave since 27th November 2011 and not been doing an awful lot I must say -  I watched my wife decorate the house, watched the scales go up and last but not least watched Christmas drain my bank account - but it was all worth it!

I did on the 15th December travel on the Arcadia for 2 nights over to Bruges - what a fantastic ship and wonderful city - I have spent a night on the Arcadia before when she was launched and was very impressed then, but to sail on her was a great experience - the layout of Arcadia I found was one of the best I have seen, they have a British style pub near the centre of F deck which is very spacious - walking out of the pub will take you immediately to the theatre, casino, various bars and the restaurants.


The cabin I stayed in was a mini suite cabin with a large bathroom which I would recommend - not for a short cruise though as you wont get much time in the cabin.

I was very impressed overall with P&O and the whole package they had to offer on this cruise and would definitely recommend the Arcadia.

Christmas came and went very quickly this year and I'm happy that the snow stayed away, we all know that the kids love it but it does cause too many problems for us who like to travel at that time!

So onwards to 2012 - I not very happy to announce that i turn 30 on Friday the 13th January, but it happens to us all!!

Happy New Year To All!!
