Return call exactly on time, very quickly sorted out the cruise I wanted, swift follow up of confirmation docs and a very helpful and pleasant conversation with Shelley. Excellent all round...I trust the cruise will be as good as the booking.

Willie, September 2024

Shelley was so knowledgeable and took her time to go through everything with us. She was very patient and understanding which was needed being first time on a cruise and with a family member who has complex needs. Would highly recommend Cruise118.com and Shelley for all your cruise needs.

Independence of the seas

Sailing on Independence of the Seas was unforgettable. Every sea day was packed with activities like bingo, trivia games, dance classes, and wine tasting. The Royal Promenade was a hotspot, especially during parades and themed events. Evenings were a highlight, with Broadway-tier shows like ‘Grease’ in the Alhambra Theatre and lively karaoke in the On Air Bar. The ship’s nightlife, with its bars and clubs, ensured there was never a dull moment.

We’re very excited as Independence of the Seas will be sailing to Europe in 2025 out of Southampton!

I sailed on-board the fantastic new Sphere-Class ship, Sun Princess and was not disappointed! Everything from the Dome, which is such a beautiful part of the ship with a chilled atmosphere and is perfect to relax in, to the incredible restaurant Catch by Rudi which served the best steak and prawns I have ever had! All of the service was amazing and definitely a 10/10 sailing overall!

The décor was lovely and very modern. Loved the ocean view room as the window was huge so let a lot of light in. There is so much to do on board that is already included in the fare. For example, flow rider, rock climbing, dodgems, as well as lots of dining options that you don’t get in most other cruise lines!

All with no passport required!

I had the pleasure of visiting Celebrity Silhouette® in Liverpool and was given a full access tour of this recently revolutionised ship. From the moment you step on-board this beautiful ship you’ll see the contemporary design throughout. With wide open spaces on-board as well as glass and natural light being a key feature in the refit of the ship, it provides all of the amenities and facilities of a large ship, whilst giving the feeling of a smaller, more intimate ship setting. One of the highlights for me from this experience, was the food! There’s so many places to choose to eat and with speciality restaurants such as Blu, exclusively for AquaClass® guests, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a date night on-board. With cafes offering little pastries and a cask ale pub on-board serving up bar snacks, there’s a restaurant for every mood. The main dining room serves up elegant and delectable delights, I highly recommend the fillet mignon and chocolate lava cake!

I recently had the pleasure of joining the maiden voyage of Princess Cruises’ newest ship, Sun Princess, the first of its kind in the Sphere Class.

Embarking from Athens, the Sun Princess crew took care of the luggage as we headed to the central hub of the ship, the Piazza, for a cocktail. Relaxing in the beautifully furnished Bellini Bar, we ordered our drinks with our waiter who knew our names as he greeted us. I was blown away by the personal touch the medallion technology gave the experience! During the cruise, I took advantage of the Princess Plus® package, which included speciality dining, on-board Wi-Fi and beverage package. I loved Alfredo’s pizzeria, which offers the most flavoursome and authentic Neapolitan pizza at sea.

We’ve been on-board

MSC Virtuosa is a great ship for families as they cater to children so well. During my sailing, they cared for my little boy and treated him amazingly - with waiters bringing him his favourite snack of strawberries, singing to him for his birthday and even making a special effort to come over and play for a while each evening. Some of my highlights included the main dining room’s evening sitting. This three course meal with table service is so relaxed. We opted for the earlier sitting and I found the service to be quick and friendly, plus it meant we could enjoy some of the earlier entertainment and activities while our little boy played before bedtime.

We bought a fun pass while sailing which offers some additional on-board spend for the arcade for a reduced price, which you can also pre-purchase before embarking and they come in different quantities. We opted for the Premium Drinks Package, which gave us peace of mind in terms of spending whilst on-board.

Our holiday on-board Iona to the Norwegian Fjords was our first family cruise, and we loved it! We stayed in a Conservatory Mini Suite, which was stunning, spacious, and wonderfully thought out in terms of layout and storage. The ship was large but easy to navigate, and we enjoyed exploring it. There was plenty to do on sea days for all ages, from organized activities such as a superhero workshop, caricature drawing class, and bingo, to on-board amenities like golf nets, giant chess, and several swimming pools.

Embarking on the legendary Queen Mary 2 was quick and easy, and welcome on-board was fantastic. The ship was decorated in a typical classical style, with a stunning art-deco interior. We dined in Princess Grill, Queens Room, Kings Court, Steakhouse at Veranda and we had room service – all of which delivered hot, delicious food and exceptional service. not one venue felt over-crowded.

I sailed the beautiful Resilient Lady, offering a boutique hotel experience at sea. We sailed with cruisers ranging from ages early 20s all the way through to more mature guests and it was the most diverse and lively ship we have ever had the pleasure of sailing on. The good-time-vibe was the thing I adored most, and it radiated through every aspect of the ship. It was refreshing to see and experience. Fear-of-missingout was a regular occurrence on-board as with so much going on at one time, we often had trouble deciding what to do. My advice? Try and do everything – from the array of cocktails; multiple restaurants; to the activities and entertainment (you may need another cruise to recover afterwards, but we’ll be on hand to sort that out for you).

Resilient Lady

I sailed with Fred. Olsen on-board the fantastic ship, Borealis in a Balcony Suite, which was lovely with plenty of storage, lots of light and great amenities. All of the art on the ship was beautiful, handpicked and varied in style; some was bright and colourful, some abstract and there was even a painting of Great Grandmother Bolette Olsen. Some of the statement pieces of furniture in the public areas were very grand and opulent, giving a real 5 Star feel. I had traditional afternoon tea in The Observatory, however of an evening there was the ‘Oceans Trio’ house band singing a mix of tunes from all tastes of music. This was also the late-night venue with a DJ playing requests until 2am each night for if you wanted to enjoy the music later into the night.
