Tips and Ships

Having spent more than 100 days at sea, we have learnt a few things about cruises. Here, you will find cruising tips for before, during, and after you sail, as well as reviews of various cruise ships.

These tips will save you both time and money, as well as often improve your cruise in some way. Most of our tips, while written about a single line, apply to any cruise travel.

To date, we have sailed with six lines and written about Royal Caribbean, Azamara, Princess, MSC, Norweigan Cruise Lines (NCL), and Holland America.
