Wave season ends next month, have you booked anything?🛳️
If you are not familiar, wave season runs January to March. It is when cruise lines release their biggest deals of the year to fill ships. We are halfway through it right now. Have you booked anything during wave season this year? Or do you book at a different time of year?🛳️

@Katrina Edginton us too but we knew we wanted to do Alaska next year so booked as cabins were filling up. Got a decent deal.

@Katrina Edginton next June. On Serenade.
Let’s get to know each other
We have got a growing community here and I am curious where everyone’s loyalty sits (or doesn’t).😅 If your loyalty does sit with one cruise line, it would be great to know why!👇 Or, if I have not mentioned your cruise line, pop it in the comments below!☺️👇

@Katrina Edginton we’re exactly the same!
🚨 Discovery Class is officially confirmed
Royal just announced two firm ship orders (with options for four more). First ship arrives 2029. No details yet on size or itineraries, just that it is “a bold new concept” designed to take guests to “breathtaking destinations around the world.” Speculation has been building for years that these will be smaller ships for Europe, Alaska, and Asia. We will have to wait and see.👀 What do you want Discovery Class to be? Smaller ships for more unique ports? Or a mega-ship packed with features?! Let me know below👇

I’m hoping it’ll be smaller ships, replacements for the likes of Rhapsody etc. They’ve done the mega ships with the Icon class.

Anthem Sydney to NZ South Island towards the end of the year. Third time on Anthem, we’ve done Norway and Asia on her previously.
My unpopular opinion reel blew up last week🚀
In my reel, I taked about why I think older cruise ships are better than the newer cruise ships.. So let me explain why I actually believe older cruise ships are better. 1️⃣ They're quieter. No queuing for everything. No madness at the buffet. You can actually get a sunlounger. After weeks on Voyager, I've never once fought for a seat or waited in a massive line. That changes how the whole cruise feels. 2️⃣ They're not overwhelming. You can learn the layout in a day. Get from your cabin to anywhere on the ship in minutes. No trying to find your way through fifteen decks of attractions. It actually feels like a cruise ship, that traditional vibe that got most of us into cruising in the first place. 3️⃣ They're cheaper with better itineraries. New ships often do 3-4 night runs to private islands or the same Caribbean stops everyone's done ten times. Older ships? Longer sailings. More interesting ports. Repositioning cruises. And for less money. 4️⃣ The staff actually know you. Fewer passengers means the crew remember your name, your drink, your table. You see the same faces. You have actual conversations. After a few weeks on board, it feels like a community! I'm not saying new ships are bad. They're impressive, and of course I would take any cruise ship rather than being on land!

We’re doing our third cruise on Anthem next year, purely by chance - we’ve booked by itinerary, but before that most of our cruises have been on the smaller ships. Rhapsody, Vision, Radiance, Serenade etc. waiters had our drinks ready when they saw us walk into the Schooner or Centrum. No queues, no problem getting a sun bed and dare I say it as a retired teacher, very few kids. 🤣
