… and this time we’re going. We’ll be at the NEC for next weekend’s event.
I think our focus will be as follows:-
- River cruises
- Luxury cruises
- err – anything else that take our eye!
Val is probably more interested in river cruises than I am, but this will give us the opportunity to check out what’s available and to get as good a feel as we can for the experience, without actually going on one. Then luxury cruises still attract us, even though I’ve said in the past that they don’t: so many other people love them, surely they must be worth the extra money?
Hopefully, all the cruise companies will be there. I gather that there was some unhappiness in Glasgow last weekend, when none of Carnival UK’s brands showed up: not Cunard, not Princess, not even P&O. I gather that Royal Caribbean did very well with its brands in the absence of Carnival’s, as did smaller operators such Fred.Olsen. Here’s a link to a longer story about it.
