🌊✨ From first-time cruisers to cruise converts! 🛳️💙
We’re delighted to share this lovely feedback from Darren and Rebecca Phillips, who recently enjoyed their Central Mediterranean adventure aboard P&O Cruises Azura.
Flying from East Midlands to Valletta, Malta, they set off on an unforgettable journey, visiting Messina in Sicily, Dubrovnik in Croatia, Corfu Town in Greece and Taranto in Italy, before returning to Valletta. 🇲🇹🇮🇹🇭🇷🇬🇷
As first-time cruisers, they understandably had lots of questions and were feeling a little nervous about trying a completely new way to travel. That’s where Catherine at our Sleaford Travel branch came in! 🧡
Having cruised many times herself, Catherine was able to share her own experience and knowledge, answering all their questions and making sure they felt confident before setting sail. She even recommended choosing a cabin in the middle of the ship to help minimise the feeling of movement from the sea. ⚓️
Their favourite destination? Beautiful Dubrovnik! 🇭🇷 They loved the delicious food and thought the city was simply stunning.
And on board, the food was a definite highlight! From fine dining and buffet meals to a BBQ on their final day, there was plenty to enjoy. They also commented on how friendly and accommodating the staff were throughout their trip. 🍽️🥂
The best part? They’ve now caught the cruising bug! 🛳️ They’re already looking at booking another cruise next year after discovering a whole new love for travel.
Thank you for trusting Catherine and Sleaford Travel to help make your first cruise such a memorable one, and thank you for sharing your holiday photos with us. We can’t wait to help plan your next adventure! 🌍✨
