With the rise in demand for cruise holidays, and the volume of new ships due to increase in the coming months, what better time to have another #HolidayChat centered around cruising?
We invited our blogging cruise expert Jamie from Explore With Ed to host and chat all things ships! Be sure to check out Jamie’s blog and Instagram for lots of cruise inspo and tips, plus some amazing photography.
Q1) Have you ever been on or considered a cruise holiday? If not, why?
A1 - I have! It was one of our favourite holidays getting to see so many new places each day. #HolidayChat

Q1) Yes cruise number 16 is in 42 days time #HolidayChat
— Paul and Carole Love to Travel (@paulandcarole) March 20, 2019
A2: I’ve always been sceptical about cruises as I like the freedom to explore and dine on local cuisine without feeling restricted. I’d always thought of them as an older persons holiday to be honest. One day I will try for myself I’m sure. #holidaychat

Q1) Yes many and consider them to be the best way to travel and explore different destinations.

Yes!!!! We started cruising in 2014 - 15 cruises later we haven’t done a land holiday since!

Q2) What would be your dream cruise holiday - where in the world would you visit and what would you do?
World cruise for like a year!!

There is only one type of cruise that I would go on and that would be an expedition type cruise, to somewhere I wouldn't be able to go otherwise. I'm thinking Arctic and Antarctic. Can I go now please? #HolidayChat

A2 - i would love to cruise around the caribbean. There's just too many islands to see and i don't know which one to choose first, so that'd tick off a few haha! Or Antarctica! #HolidayChat
— April (@aprileveryday) March 20, 2019
A2 Pacific islands and New Zealand yet to get to that part of the world! @icelollyholiday

I really want to visit Alaska with Princess Cruises - I'm a travel agent and have sent a few people. It looks amazing!

Q3) If you could design your own cruise ship what would you have on there?
Oooh yes, a gin bar, bigger pools and a zip line that went from stern to bow.

@icelollyholiday A3) #HolidayChat #Mythos on draft as the signature beer would be a must for me, whilst there would be many Greek delicacies at the buffet, there would be a pool on deck and a glass bottom viewing area, with satellite TV so I can watch my beloved #Panathinaikos

A3: A wetherspoons and a greggs... Just kidding, or am I
— Emma (@emmacruises) March 20, 2019
A3 - a huge garden area with a huge pool (cruise pools are too small for me haha) and some decent cheaper restaurant options, but other than that modern cruise ships have SO much already that i enjoy! #HolidayChat
— April (@aprileveryday) March 20, 2019
I have to admit I was very tempted to book the @backstreetboys cruise to relive my youth! If we could get David Beckham on there too that would be ideal! No escaping if we’re on the water #holidaychat
