Hello everyone, and happy New Year!🥳 Lot's of exciting things coming up for us in 2026 and lot's of goals/ideas on the go. One of my goals/resolutions is to get back to this community, grow it, engage with fellow cruises and help any first time cruisers too! 🤩⚓ First things first, Who has got a cruise coming up? Drop your ship, sailing date, and itinerary below, let's see who's sailing soon! 🚢

In my reel, I taked about why I think older cruise ships are better than the newer cruise ships.. So let me explain why I actually believe older cruise ships are better. 1️⃣ They're quieter. No queuing for everything. No madness at the buffet. You can actually get a sunlounger. After weeks on Voyager, I've never once fought for a seat or waited in a massive line. That changes how the whole cruise feels. 2️⃣ They're not overwhelming. You can learn the layout in a day. Get from your cabin to anywhere on the ship in minutes. No trying to find your way through fifteen decks of attractions. It actually feels like a cruise ship, that traditional vibe that got most of us into cruising in the first place. 3️⃣ They're cheaper with better itineraries. New ships often do 3-4 night runs to private islands or the same Caribbean stops everyone's done ten times. Older ships? Longer sailings. More interesting ports. Repositioning cruises. And for less money. 4️⃣ The staff actually know you. Fewer passengers means the crew remember your name, your drink, your table. You see the same faces. You have actual conversations. After a few weeks on board, it feels like a community! I'm not saying new ships are bad. They're impressive, and of course I would take any cruise ship rather than being on land!
