From Tips For Travellers.

From Tips For Travellers. I am frequently contacted by stressed cruise passengers at the end of their tether, seeking my help on how to get out of a costly blunder they’ve made. In recent weeks, several cruisers have been in touch about the same four issues that seem to keep catching people out these days.…

From Tips For Travellers. When I told friends, family, and followers online that I was headed off on a Viking Ocean cruise to Alaska, I was struck by how much misunderstanding and myths they all had about what it’s really like to go on a Viking Ocean cruise. Because it had been a while since…

From Tips For Travellers. Reports of an incident of passengers breaking cruise rules with costly consequences, got me thinking about what cruise rules I see being broken often. It struck me that some rule breaking bothered me and some did not, for while they might have nasty consequences for those involved many do not directly…

From Tips For Travellers. While there’s been many reviews about cruising on Cunard’s new Queen Anne, there’s not been much about what it’s like to travel in their costly first-class Grills “ship-within-a-ship” on it. I spent 14 nights testing that out and having also been in it on every ship in their fleet too, I…

From Tips For Travellers. I believe I can bring a unique take on Cunard’s new Queen Anne as I’ve been on 23 Cunard cruises and spent 210 nights across all their fleet, including most recently 14 nights on board Queen Anne, which gave me ample time to fully test out their latest cruise ship. I…

From Tips For Travellers. What can you take home from your cruise without any fear you’re doing the wrong thing, either morally or legally?

From Tips For Travellers. As all the passengers you will hear about discovered, being denied boarding for a cruise, not only turned their dream vacation into complete disarray, but lost them a fortune as cruise lines do not refund guests who they deny boarding to, arguing it’s up to us as passengers to pay close…

From Tips For Travellers. With ships sailing full, and all the major cruise lines saying that on average they’re sailing at 104% capacity, the techniques that I used to use and spoke about in the past, even as recently as this video from two years ago, to get cruise cabin upgrades no longer work. But…

From Tips For Travellers. I was driven to make this after I saw a series of issues blow up on cruise ships after people did not come clean with their cruise line, sometimes intentionally but more often because they hadn’t realised they needed to. The consequences of some were so severe that I’ve seen cruisers…

From Tips For Travellers. I recently embarked on Holland America Eurodam to host one of my group cruises with some trepidation, because I’d had past fans of Holland America telling me they were falling out of love with the line, based on three recent changes. So, I felt this would be the perfect opportunity to…

From Tips For Travellers. Experiences on my two last cruises reminded me that just because my cruise ship is calling into a port does not mean that I can assume it’s safe for me to get off and explore. In fact, even in the two most popular cruising regions, the Caribbean and Mediterranean, many of…

From Tips For Travellers. The Indian Pacific is one of the famous and costliest train journeys in the world travelling 2,700 miles (4,352 kilometres) between Sydney and Perth Australia.

From Tips For Travellers. One of the more frequently asked questions I see on cruise message boards is: “what can I ask my cabin steward to bring or do for me?”. As I keep seeing the same limited list of suggestions, I decided to make this as, based on my experience, I can see cruisers…
