Advice about going on cruises
Watch this postI would like to go on a cruise. Unfortunately most people I talk to say it's for old people that suits me fine because I'm an older person lol.
Seriously has anybody been on a cruise people and could tell me how they enjoyed it?
The good and the bad. Mayz

I'm interested in your thoughts about which cruise line (or ship) provides the best dining experience? I've thought the Holland America line does a darn good job, but that assessment is from a limited sample size.

However, I will add one more link having recently sailed on a purpose built 'Old peoples' cruise for 16 nights. Here is my review on the excellent Saga ship, Spirit of Discovery...

Hope I'm not too late with my piece of advice but I tend to record all my cruises on a cruise blob and they often prove invaluable to others in their research.

breakfast morning coffee three course lunch we never had. Afternoon tea lovely. Five course dinner then entertainment afterwards which was usually quite good. Fair enough I have never been on my own , I went with my husband who has now passed away. So the last cruise was with my granddaughter and she quite enjoyed it too. Everything on your doorstep and the flexibility to do exactly what you want
