Longhaul vs Shorthaul!

LAST CHANCE! Disney fanatics and anyone that loves a quality cruise, it’s such sad news that this 2025/2026 season will be the last season for Disney for the foreseeable future.
I have sailed the beautiful Disney Wonder twice in the past 2 years and can say hand on heart that this line offers exceptional quality. Yes, it is more expensive than its other competitors, however, every detail has been thought of and executed extremely well.
The food is high quality- 4 different smoked salmon for breakfast, fresh cooked prawns and crab on the buffet for lunch. The rotational dining for dinner also offers live interactive shows.
The broadway musicals are award winning.
If you have been sitting on the fence, my suggestion is to book it! You will not be disappointed. The itineraries are short with intention. You are there to immerse yourself in the wonder of Disney.
I’d love to help you.
Please message for questions, further information or for booking.

The USA has officially dropped its no shoe policy when proceeding through airport security after introducing the rule 20 years ago. 🤩 this is great news for travellers! I wonder if the rest of the world will follow suit? 🙏

Hello from the city of Kuala Lumpur. It’s been too many years since I’ve been to this green and clean city.
Today we visited the Batu Caves and climbed the 278 stairs in each direction. A beautiful temple and cooling caves.
Onwards to various other areas of KL, Petronas Towers, Chinatown (under renovation) Central Market for a very tasty Ayam Habuk and I cannot go past the Pandan milk tea.
Sooo good.

Today I was SO excited to board the contemporary Celebrity Edge ship in Brisbane. The first of 4 in this class of ship and WOW!
She certainly didn’t disappoint.

Stunning yet soothing neutral colour tones with muted greens, blues with highlights of gold. The Infinite balcony cabins which makes up 80% of the rooms are so innovative.
There is on average between 7-10 million dollars worth of artwork onboard the ship so walking the hallways are fascinating.

The massive highlights though were outside. The Magic carpet bar on the side of the ship is a marvel. The Garden restaurant, alfresco area and cabanas are begging for drinks with friends. And Eden which is a 3 level very open area cm club/party area at night.

Highly recommend!!! If you’d like more information please reach out. Current special is receive up to 75% off the second person in the cabin.

Today I stepped onboard the beautiful Oceania Regatta and thoroughly enjoyed exploring this small luxury cruise ship with its warm and intimate spaces, lovely smiley crew, as well as an outstanding lunch.

Oceania cruises worldwide and ports at 600 destinations. The itineraries are unique and ideal for people who have “seen it all”. The cuisine at sea is a stand out, the all inclusive nature offers excellent value for money compared to its competitors.

I will be personally sailing on its next cruise departing Singapore if anyone has questions or would like to know more
