Well anyone else like going on cruises for holidays.

Wife and I caught the liking for cruises a few years ago. At the start we were worried it was going to be all full of old people. We are both 38. We went on first one and loved it. Now have a 4 year old son and he has been on 5 cruises with us. They have some much on board to do for kids and adults.

We currently cruising with royal Caribbean due to the casino loyalty program so I get big discounts on the fares. Next cruise booked for January on Oasis of the seas around the Caribbean.

Anyone else spend time on the high seas. :)
 
Yeah RC is expensive Only reason I go with them is casino rewards. I got two adults and one child for a week in Caribbean in January for $900. Just have to buy flights to miami and hotel for few nights. (But this is due to me being fond of the casino )

I have been on the MSC Virtuosa a few years ago. Its a great ship. Its massive. Only bigger one Ive been on is wonder of the seas.

Have you been out to Norway from Southampton? I have been twice love norway
 
I like waking up some place new everyday and exploring. Most of the times we do our own thing and only do excursions for things hard to get to. Then any sea days is spent by the pool or on water slides with the child.

And if anyone is lucky enough to go to the Caribbean like we have been RC private island is brillant so well thought out and loads to do.

I'm yet to go on a cruise and for some reason, despite me not discussing it with anyone or searching for cruises, my YouTube feed started getting filled up with recommendations from "Emma Cruises" a few months ago and watching a few of those made me want to go on a cruise even more. Let's face it, it's an ultimate island holiday, except that the island moves.

I love the idea but it's the cost that puts me off. My brother did a two week MSC cruise from Southampton to Scotland, Iceland and Norway then back to Southampton a couple of months ago. The base cost for him was £1200, he spent another £500 on excursions and in the first week, he spent around £400 on board.

And that's MSC who are a budget cruise line.

Yeah I follow emma cruises on YT. She brings good advice and tips and shows what cruising is like.

If anyone is a gambler I would recommend looking into the Casino royale Program RC has. As I have been on my last 3 cruises for "free" they call it free but you have to pay taxes and tips. Also have to be willing to play a fair amount in the casino.
