Cruise.dot Karaoke

What do travel agents get up to at their Christmas party?
Well if they're anything like us they strut around the dance floor singing bad karaoke.
I've just gotten around to taking all these videos off my phone and thought I'd let you all have a bit of a giggle at them - Who's your favourite?

Riviera river cruises 2014 online brochure

You may, (or may not), have heard of Riviera travel before now. If you haven't then they're a great cruise line for first time river cruisers with two new ships available for 2014.
They might not be as all inclusive as some of the other river cruise lines out there, (drinks, excursions etc), however, because of this, they offer much cheaper prices than some of the other rive cruise companies with the choice of flight or Euro-star connections.
Feel free to browse the brochures below and email me if you want any specific quotes etc.

Quantum of the Seas

So by now you should all know how much I live big ships - The Independence and Oasis of the Seas - NCLs Epic - The bigger the better in fact. I'm also a huge fan of gadgets and technology which probably explains why I'm so excited about the launch of Royal Caribbeans Quantum of the Seas - It's got it all!
Taking just over 4,000 thousand passengers it would be easy to dismiss it as just another big ship but it's the features that RCCL have packed into her that makes it such an exciting prospect.

RCCL finally reveal Oasis itineraries

Any Royal Caribbean fans out there must now by now that the Oasis of the Seas will be coming over to Europe for a month or so in 2014. RCCL have been quite tight lipped about the exact pricing and even the full itineraries of the cruise, (especially as it goes on sale this Tuesday - 09th Apr 13), but they've finally relented and released the full itineraries with some lead in prices.............

Royal Princess launch ceremony

"It's a hard job but I supose somebody has to do it".
Yep, you've guessed it I've just had my invatation to the naming ceremony of the Royal Princess on the 12th June this year, (which is nice as the 12th will be my birthday).
I've got all my fingers crossed for good weather as the pictures Princess have been releasing of the top deck look amazing!

Top ten towel animals

Cruising as a holiday is always a great experience, (I'm biased I know). Even if you book a budget three star cruise you're almost always guaranteed a good time.
However, as in life, I think with a cruise it's the little things that can make a big difference.
One of my favourite 'small things' on a cruise has to be the towel animal tradition. They always make me smile and some cabin stewards really go all out when they're making them.
I know not everyone is a fan, thinking they're a silly cruise tradition but I'd be really disappointed if I did a cruise and didn't see a towel animal waiting for me in my cabin.
Here's my top ten........................
