WELCOME
TO CRUISE TO . . .
There are quite a few cruise sites on the Internet but
they are cluttered, hard to read and often confusing so
this is an attempt to create something that just provides
you with the information you are looking for . . . and is
easy to read.
This site makes no recommendations and nor does it compare
one cruise line against another. There are hundreds of cruises
to choose from all catering to different tastes. The object
of the site is to bring togther in one place the information
and links that will enable you to find what you want more
easily.
If you have any suggestions or ideas please let us know,
or if you would like to become a contributor just email

CRUISES
 escape
to a realm of relaxation and civilisation as you sail into
the sunset
The
only way to truly find out what makes going on a cruise
so special is to take one . . . imagine being pampered from
sun up to sundown, having every need and whim catered for,
being treated as if you alone were the centre of the universe.
Not
only are you looked after, you will wine and dine on the
most wonderful tasting and wide ranging cuisine you can
hope to find. You will travel to exotic destinations with
fascinating ports of call on the way.
A cruise has something for everyone - you can choose to
enjoy the peace and tranquility, dance the night away or
watch the spectacular entertainment. The essential ingredient
of a cruise is your enjoyment.
The experience of a lifetime!
CRUISING
AS SEEN BY A FIRST TIME CRUISER
We
have just returned (from cruise aboard Orient Lines'
Crown Odyssey) so thought you might appreciate some
feedback from our cruise so hence putting a few words down
to send to you.
Basically, we had an absolutely fantastic time. From the
outset when we arrived in Rome we were taken to the Hilton
Hotel for lunch (admittedly only a very basic buffet) but
the wine was free and the food and sit down very welcome
after the journey.
Our transfer to the ship was smooth and Boy! Were we impressed
when we set eyes on the ship. On embarkation the ladies
were presented with a flower - what a nice gesture.
The ship itself is absolutely beautiful - she has such style
- one cannot help but be impressed. All that has been said
about the Filipino crew is absolutely true. They work non-stop
to make sure everyone enjoys themselves and are unfailingly
polite (even when dealing with demanding passengers).
 The
food was absolutely superb - the Seven Continents restaurant
was lovely and the food always well presented and varied.
Our waiter was very efficient and we never had to wait.
The room service for the food was also unexpected. This
was fully inclusive and should we have missed lunch, which
we often did as we were out ashore, we could order from
a varied menu and the food was, as usual a very high standard.
We could not get over the fact that this was inclusive.
Imagine the charge if one ordered from a hotel in London,
or similar.
The shows, as we had already read, were not what Orient
Lines are renowned for but we enjoyed them and the dancers
were particularly good.
Deck space was plentiful and there was always plenty of
room except for the one day at sea when of course nobody
went on tours, it was slightly cramped.
Our cabin was kept immaculate, despite the fact that we
are spectacularly messy when on holiday and it was lovely
to return to your bed turned down, curtains drawn, etc,
etc. Clean towels replaced twice daily.
All in all it was a fantastic experience.
Many thanks for all your efforts to get our cruise organised.
It was well worth it and I think I can safely say it is
the best holiday we have ever had and the cruise bug has
definitely bitten us!!!
