Gon' Fishin'

Well not quite. I've been fishing once in my life and found it to be the most boring thing ever invented by man so have no plans to do it again. I am however going to be away for awhile as I'm now off work until the 3rd of January 2012.

For the curious I haven't a lot planned.
There's a mini cruise to Bruges on the 15th with work for our Christmas party, (it's on the P&O Arcadia this year), and I'll be down in Southampton on Monday having lunch onboard the QM2, (I've been shortlisted for cruise consultant of the year so I'll have to let you know how that goes), but the rest of the holidays I'm planning on spending with my lovley wife and children, taking a well deserved break.

Pop back on Tuesday to find out about how I did in the cruise consultant of the year competition, (I'm down to the final three so fingers crossed for me), otherwise I'll be back in the new year stunning you all with a new set of interesting or strange, (sometimes both), set of cruise stories/facts/gossip/rumours/tips.

Until then have a Merry Christmas and happy new year.

Which is better?

I was talking to one of my regular cruisers the other day and we were discussing the various merits and differences of the six star luxury cruise lines. As you can imagine, the service and quality you'll get from any ship that labels itself as six star will always be excellent but the one thing we couldn't agree on was onboard credit compared to free drinks and excursions onboard.
