Hi, straighteners are allowed on most cruise lines, just be aware that due to the voltage, they make not work to the same level as they do at home.

My Mum paid for the retreat on a Caribbean cruise and really enjoyed it. Like yourself, Mum loves the sun but my step dad prefers the shade so they found this perfect. they are going on Azura again in Feb and will use the retreat again. hope this helps :)

I find the thought of packing worse than actually packing. I put it off as late as i can as the thought of it fills me with dread! Once i actually get round to packing, i don't find it too painful. I've not packed for a cruise for a couple of years. Going on a 4 night cruise in a couple of weeks though so i'm sure packing for that will be fun haha!

I love the idea of the conservatory cabins, just hope there affordable

I've still not watched this yet but hoping to this week. Loved the first one! x

Wow what a view Davybe! It looks amazing! I'm making the most of the glorious weather whilst its here before a normal British summer resumes lol!

I think it starts this Friday

Hi, I'm looking at booking a cruise on Oceana where you fly to Dubai, i just wanted peoples thoughts on her? I sailed on her a few years ago but only for 2 nights so think its hard to judge by that. Previously sailed on Ventura. For some reason i imagine her to be old, run down and small? It's not all about the ship as its the destinations we are interested in but just wanted peoples feed back? Thanks

I've just had a look at this, if i had the money it would be amazing.

Today's the day they name their new ship..

I'm not sure if I'm surprised at this figure or not. When I hear people debating travel insurance, it really makes my blood boil. I don't understand how anyone would travel with it. It's not even just for the big things like hospital trips etc, but for the little things like lost phones/cameras etc.

I've heard of bidding for an upgrade on airlines but never on cruises.

I will be watching it on Saturday and if i was on board i would still

I bank with Halifax Old world traveller and have come across this card online when they try and flog you their other services. I'll look into this as it sounds very good.

I loved our stop off in Jamaica as we did an excursion. They then took us to a market on the way back to the ship (wasn't advertised) and it was pretty full on, most people ended up leaving the market as soon as they walked in. It was an experience to say the least. x
