Agree this is a great thread. I love holidays, and love hearing everyone’s plans.
Have also found it useful as well, and picked up some tips.
I am looking at doing a solo cruise (1 st time never been before)
Hubby hates the idea of cruising, and friends aren’t interested either.
As I’ve never been on a cruise before, I was thinking of a mini cruise , maybe 3-4 days from Southampton,to see if I like it!
Can anyone point me in the right direction and suggest something for a cruise virgin.
Also, can I have your recommendations for somewhere central but cheap to stay in Glasgow please.
Friend and I are going for an event and just really want somewhere to lay our heads for two nights. We will be out of the room most of the time.
Thanks muchly.
Binge watch these YouTube channels:
- Emma Cruises
- Cruise with Ben & David
- Tips for travelers (Gary)
They do complete ships tours, itinerary tours, reviews of all the food, entertainment, cruise lines, everything to do with cruises! They literally cover everything.
Please encourage your husband to watch these videos with you. A lot of people are like “Euugh I’d never go on a cruise!” but then they go and they love it, cos a lot of their pre-conceived negative ideas re: cruising are based on total ignorance and incorrect stereotypes. Obviously I’m not suggesting you try and force it, but it would be lovely for you to enjoy the experience together.
That said, solo cruising is definitely an option, plenty of people do it.
There’s also a good website and forum called Cruise Critic UK, lots of info there.
