it would be Robinson Crusoe
Island for its remoteness and
scenery, Bora Bora for its scenery
and marine life, cruising Milford
Sound, the scenery and wildlife on
both the islands of Mauritius and
Madagascar, and Cape Town –
we saw so much in two days.
Q: What dining venue on
board our ocean ships do you
enjoy the most and why?
A: We tend to eat mainly at the
World Café as it provides regional
specials, a huge diversity of foods
for different tastes, the ability
to eat as small or large as you
feel and to be able to eat inside
or outside dependent on the
weather and the scenery as I
like to be able to photograph
if I see something.
The crew were just fantastic on
all of our cruises, particularly
on the world cruise, having the
same room attendant the whole
cruise was wonderful and we
really got to know each other.
The staff knew what drinks you
like and would know when to
refresh you so you could sit back
and relax.
Q: What are you most
looking forward to on
your next cruise?
A: We've always wanted to visit
Japan and the itinerary covers
other parts of Asia that we've
wanted to go to, so this cruise
(North Pacific Passage) provides
that opportunity as well as
revisiting the Inside Passage
which we cruised in 2002,
along with reconnecting with
some people we met on the
2019 world cruise.
Q: Do you have any tips
for those planning a
longer cruise?
A: Do research before your trip,
for example seeing which ports
are tender and understanding
they are weather dependent.
Also take things to do on sea
days, the ship always has lots of
activities and board games, but
we always pack additional books
and my needlework.
