☀️ It’s that time of year when the Caribbean cruise season really gets underway!
I’ve been reminiscing about my own Caribbean cruise recently — the sunshine, the beaches, the friendly people — and I hope everyone heading there soon has just as amazing a time as I did. 🏖️
If you’re planning your first Caribbean cruise or just want a bit of inspiration, I’ve put together a full Caribbean Ports of Call playlist with guides to places like Antigua, St Lucia, Barbados and Grenada. 🌺

After trying Royal Caribbean for the first time, I’ve got to say it’s completely different to P&O Cruises.
The energy, the entertainment, even the food — all brilliant in their own way.
But somehow, I always find myself coming back and booking another P&O cruise in the end. There’s just something about it that feels right.
How about you? Do you stick with one favourite cruise line, or do you like to mix it up depending on the itinerary?

I was looking at cruises for next summer, and the price difference really stood out! A 14-night Mediterranean cruise on P&O Arvia was actually cheaper than a 9-night Royal Caribbean sailing!
It just shows how much prices can vary depending on what’s included.
When you’re choosing a cruise, what matters most to you?
🔹 Price and value for money
🔹 Itinerary and ports of call
🔹 Food and dining options
🔹 Entertainment and atmosphere
💬 Tell me below which cruise line gets it right for you — and if you missed it, my latest video compares Royal Caribbean and P&O head-to-head!

If you’re booking a cruise right now, what’s most important to you?
I’ve been comparing P&O Cruises and Royal Caribbean, and the price difference really surprised me — a 14-night cruise on Arvia was cheaper than a 9-night sailing on Liberty of the Seas!

🛳️ Royal Caribbean have already started their Black Friday offers — including an “All-In” bundle for Drinks, Dining & WiFi.
I’m curious — do you usually wait for these deals, or book your extras earlier? 👀

🛳️ Royal Caribbean’s Black Friday deals are already live and they’re calling it Early Access, and the “All-In Package” (Drinks, Dining & WiFi) bundle looks like it could save quite a bit if you were already planning to buy those extras.
I’m always torn with these kinds of offers ! Do you wait for Black Friday or book early before prices go up?
Have you ever bought your drinks or dining packages during one of these sales and did it actually save you money in the end? 🍹
I tried the Drinks Package myself recently to see if it was worth it, and shared what I found here 👇
