The people who have the best port days aren’t the ones who spend the most money. They are the ones who spent time planning! Of course, some ports you can wing it. Step off the ship, walk into town and have a great day. But others will punish you for not planning. especially in the Med where the dock can be 90 minutes from the actual city. Need help planning your upcoming ports? Drop them below and I will tell you what I would prioritise with one day there. 👇

After 36 cruises, these are three things that genuinely make a difference for us: 1️⃣ Book smarter, not bigger. Repositioning cruises, where ships move between regions are some of the best value out there. Our 35-night cruise cost less per night than a standard 7-night Caribbean sailing. Older ships are cheaper too, sail more interesting routes, and get into ports the mega-ships can’t reach. 2️⃣ Rethink the cabin. Everyone wants a balcony. But they can be double the price of an interior. If you are like us and only use the cabin to sleep and shower, that money is better spent elsewhere. We have done both plenty of times, the cruise doesn’t change 3️⃣ Book early. The same cabin can be double the price closer to sailing. Early bookers get the best choice of cabin location AND the best price. It’s one of those rare situations where being first actually saves you money. What is your best cruise money-saving tip?

Shared something on my Instagram, and it interesting to see a mix of answers with this question! I personally always choose the itinerary over the ship, but I understand there are lots of factors to this decision, one being who you are travelling with! I would love to hear your thoughts😊👇

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👇

If you didn’t catch it on social media last week, we have built something called CruiseGPT.🛳️📲 It is an AI that actually knows about cruises. Not generic answers, proper cruise knowledge.
