How many cruises do/should you book a year?

I suppose the easy answer to that is: 'As many as I can!'
Which is really the point of todays blog. Which is it better to do do you think? Book one 6 star cruise a year? Or several 4/5 star cruises for a cheaper price? One luxury cruise? Or several 'normal' cruises?
It's a difficult question to answer because it's so subjective, it really does depend on the person/persons. But there are a few pointers that might help you make up your mind.

Should I book a cruise with MSC?

We've had a lot of fantastic deals with MSC recently, with a range of free flights, onboard credit and cheap cruise prices, so as you can imagine I've been recommending MSC lately to a lot of people. The problem is that MSC has somehow gotten itself a bit of a bad name with the British public so that a lot of people weren't too happy with the idea of cruising with them.
But why is that?

Did you know...........?

Anyone that's been following my blog for awhile now will know that I love weird and wacky facts and figures. The more outlandish the better!
I was talking to a client yesterday, booking him a transatlantic cruise when he mentioned offhand a comment about New York and London. I wasn't sure how true it was but after a littler bit of research, (Yahoo answers I'm afraid), It turns out he was right.

Top ten .......Worst things to happen in the morning.

I was reading the paper this morning when I came across this survey conducted by Gregs about the things people most hate to happen to them first thing in the morning.
It made me smile because so many things I hate about early mornings was on there so I thought I'd share the list with you today to see if you agree with it or if you could add any more to the it.

How to book a cruise to imaginary places….

One question I get asked a lot from more experienced cruisers is how they can make their cruise holiday 'extra special'.
Obviously all cruise holidays are special, especially if it's your first cruise, but once you've sailed the Med a couple of times you can be left with a feeling of.....
'What should I do next?'
It's at this stage that most cruisers start to look further afield, the Caribbean, the Far East, Alaska, Australia etc. But again they're faced with the same problems of once they've done them, where do they go next?
