I just wanted to let you all know that one of my favourite cruise lines, Celebrity Cruises, have just launched their summer sale and the savings are huge.

You can get at least 60% off the second guest and up to $400 onboard spend per stateroom if you book before 11 August. Applicable on sailings up to 30 April 2027.

So if you're thinking of booking a Celebrity cruise for next year or the year after, it's well worth booking it now to benefit from those savings.

PS You only pay a deposit now and could spread the costs out with a direct debit.

Here is a super practical guide for anyone who’s ever wondered if they can pack a sandwich or sneak in a coffee before take-off.

It breaks down the food and drink rules for the major airlines we book with most often – from what’s fine to bring in your hand luggage to what could be confiscated at security or during the flight. It even covers post-Brexit rules on meat and dairy when flying to the EU, and tips on keeping things low-stress and low-odour.

Onboard food prices can quickly add up, especially if you're travelling as a family or on a long journey. But before you load up your hand luggage, it's worth knowing exactly what you're allowed to bring — and what might be taken off you at security or during the flight.
