Hey hey hey, I hope you're having a lovely week. 🥳❤️

I've just disembarked the brand new Norwegian Luna, where I was onboard for a little two-day launch press trip. I was on the ship's first cruise EVER, and she's heading to Miami now for her naming ceremony. I'm back home working on my video. 😀🛳️

I managed to do so much in 2 days, including a 10-deck drop slide and an interactive adult only show. I usually run a mile from anything labelled as 'interactive' but I thought it would make a good story to tell you, and it definitely will! 😂😂

Norwegian Luna is such a beautiful ship and she is one of my all time favourites. The big oceanfront promenade, the converting theatre/club, and Indulge Food Hall (seen above) are a few of my highlights. I can't wait to show you more. 🥳❤️

Are you considering your first cruise in 2026 or 2027?

This article will guide you from pre-cruise through to disembarkation, helping you avoid costly, time-consuming mistakes.

AD - On my last cruise, I found my favourite balcony cabin on any ship ever. It was called a 'large balcony cabin' onboard Marella Voyager and I'll be bringing you a full video review of it soon. 🥳❤️

Because the balcony was so long, we always had a part in the sun and a part in the shade. I do enjoy sunbathing, but not for long, and being able to keep going from shade to sun whenever I felt like it was fantastic. 😁🛳️

The location was great too, right in the middle of the ship and close to one of the water dispensers. I booked cabin 9111. (I thought it would be easy to remember and it was) 😂🛳️

People often assume I must be bored with cruising by now and I only cruise because I have to, it’s my business. Nothing could be further from the truth. I absolutely love cruising!

Think cruise ships are just about buffets and sun loungers? Think again!

Large modern cruise ships are basically floating cities at sea, and many have features that many wouldn’t expect.

If you’re considering taking a cruise you may have heard that you can eat in the main dining room or in the Speciality Restaurants onboard.

You may be wondering which would suit you best, and whether the food in the additional cost Speciality Restaurants is worth the extra money.

Many would assume that the bigger the ship, the smoother the cruise will be – but is that actually the case?

Over the years, I’ve travelled on various ships of different sizes, and things haven’t always worked out as I expected.
