Hi All,
I know many people don’t like Cruises but personally i’ve been doing them for many years back in the US.
Mainly from Miami and New York. I’ve been on a few Cruise Lines, Carnival, Royal Caribbean ETC
Anyone else like Cruises and / or Cruise Ships??
When I go back to the US to see family. I’m thinking of going via Cruise to the States then fly back to the UK.
Something like this NCL Cruise
You ever tried one? It’s a lot different.
I’ve heard mixed things about Virgin Voyages.
My parents did one from Miami and told me it was one of the greatest cruises they ever did and couldn’t praise the food enough.
But then a couple friends of mine did it for a week cruise from Miami and said it was Dirty, Overpriced and had horrible Staff.
I’m yet to try them myself. But I see they travel from Southampton. So one to try.
Come along with me. Makes it so much cheaper for me then a single fare 
Big Ships are so much more stable!
Never. 
I wouldn’t pay £1.7K for a inside cabin period.
I managed to get a Royal Caribbean Miami 5 day at sea cruise with a couple of mates for £1.2K balcony, and a drinks package!
I love cruises!
Been a long time since I have been on one but I have a med one booked for this summer.
Struggling to get cruise travel insurance for it though.
We have done a fair few cruises.
We often opt for either Azzamara or Silver Sea, as again no children on board and there is around 300 (sometimes more) passengers.
They both tend to have a staff ratio of 2:1 passengers.
They are priced slightly higher often around £5.2k per person, but then it out prices families which is what we tend to avoid, so we do not mind paying the extra for peace and quiet.
It’s mostly older couples and professionals from what we’ve seen so far.
We’ve done several cruises in the last 3 decades - NCL, Cunard, Celebrity, MSC
NCL was 2003 ‘Dawn’ from NYC to the Caribbean, 2005 ‘Spirit’ from NYC to the Caribbean and 2019 ‘Epic’ from Barcelona around the Med & back - all very family based.
Cunard in 2006 on the one and only QM2 crossing from NY to Southampton in 2006. Simply incredible and VERY ‘posh’ (if you know, you know)
Celebrity was 2018 ‘Constellation’ from Venice around the Med & back - high-class ship
MSC in 2021 on ‘Virtuosa’ - a very special coming-out-of-covid-test-run just around the UK from Liverpool-to-Liverpool, 2023 on ‘Virtuosa’ again, from Southampton around the Canaries & back - massive ship with everything including the incredibly difficult F1 simulator.
Favourite? Cunard for couples. Celebrity for class. MSC for all-in and NCL for value.
I love cruises 
been to canaries Baltic and the med. Mostly P&O but also NCL . Trying Royal this year and Ambassador
Is that the small british cruise line?
Yep
They look quite cheap.
So might try them on a British Isle Cruise
They do some interesting itineraries
