Having spent the last decade specialising in cruising, I’ve been lucky enough to get on a wide range of ships (60 in total – some a couple of times) – either for a ship inspection when ships visit Brisbane or Sydney, or on personal cruises when I travel. I try to add a cruise every time I get away & try get on as many ships, and as many different cruiselines as possible, as this helps me to help you find the ideal cabin on the perfect cruise!

Follow the links to my Facebook photo albums, to see just what you can find onboard this broad range of ships. Let’s get you aboard soon!
