Are P&O Cruises' New All-Inclusive Packages Worth It? - We Did the Maths...
The cat is well and truly out of the bag with P&O Cruises’ new all-inclusive packages, which are set to launch tomorrow (18 th December).

Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas - Full Cruise Review
We recently sailed on board Independence of the Seas for a five-day Northern Europe cruise. The cruise started in Southampton and visited the ports of Rotterdam and Hamburg. Unlike most of our previous cruises, we chose this cruise specifically for the cruise line rather than the itinerary, as it was our first Royal Caribbean experience. This review covers our embarkation, cabin, dining, entertainment, and overall experience.

We were also very aware that Queen Anne has divided opinion among loyal Cunard f

Cunard Queen Anne - Day 7 - Tramonto, Bright Lights Society and Disembarkation Day
Our last day aboard Queen Anne was all about relaxing and making the most of the the final moments of our cruise. After a late night, we had a bit of a lie in and decided to skip breakfast, we definitely weren’t short on food this week! We had a gentle wander around the ship to clear our heads and enjoy the sea air.
