🍹🚢 "I'D NEVER PAY FOR A DRINKS PACKAGE!" 🚢🍹

It's one of the most common things I hear when people are looking at a cruise.

Then they see the price and immediately run for the hills... 😱💨

Let's use P&O Cruises as an example.

🥂 Classic All-Inclusive Package
💷 £49pp per day

On a 14-night cruise for 2 adults, that's:
💰 £1,372 per cabin

Sounds a lot, doesn't it?

But let's break it down...

✅ Up to 15 drinks per person, per day
✅ Drinks up to £6.95 each
✅ Essential Wi-Fi included
✅ £40pp speciality dining credit

Now imagine you actually used all 15 drinks:

🍺🍷🍹 15 drinks x £6.95 = £104.25 per person, per day
👫 That's £208.50 per day for 2 people
📅 Over 14 nights that's £2,919 worth of drinks alone!

And that's BEFORE you've even considered:
📶 Wi-Fi
🍽️ Speciality dining credit

Now, I'm not suggesting everyone will have 15 drinks a day (although some certainly do! 😂), but even if you're having:

☕ A couple of speciality coffees
🍹 A few cocktails by the pool
🍷 Wine with dinner
🍺 A drink during the evening entertainment

You can quickly get to 8+ drinks per day, and that's where the package often starts making a lot of sense.

The moral of the story? 🤔

Don't just look at the total cost of the package. Look at what you'd realistically spend onboard without it.

For some people, it's a waste of money.

For others, it's one of the best-value extras they can buy.

🍻 Cruise smarter, not harder!

🚢🍹

✈️☕🤣 The Final Travel Thought of the Last 7 Days... 🤣☕✈️

Brace yourself...

Because this one's a good one. 😏

If you've spent the last week thinking about the holiday I sent you...

📱 Opening the quote...
📱 Closing the quote...
📱 Reopening the quote...
📱 Sending it to the family group chat...
📱 Asking everyone for their opinion...
📱 Doing a rain dance...
📱 Consulting the stars...
..there's a fair chance the holiday has now either:

💷 Gone up in price
🏨 Sold out
🛫 Lost the flights
🚢 Lost the cabin
🌴 Completely vanished

Or all of the above. 😂

The amount of times I hear:

💬 "I was going to book that..."

Were you? 🤔

Because from where I'm sitting, you were doing an in-depth feasibility study worthy of a government inquiry. 📊📈🔍🤣

Meanwhile Karen from Doncaster saw the same holiday, said:

💬 "That'll do."

And booked it in under 4 minutes. 🍹🏖️😎

The travel industry is ruthless. A bit like this post really and I'll be completely unapologetic for being totally honest with you.

Nobody is sat in a boardroom saying:

💬 "Let's hold those flights for Steve while he discusses it with his second cousin's neighbour's goldfish."

🐠😂

The moral of the story?

If you love the holiday...
❤️ Book it.

If you don't love the holiday...
❌ Don't book it. Ask me for something else. Read my message and don't reply..... You're gone, Au revoir, manjana. 👋🏻

But spending 8 days thinking about it usually results in one thing...

😭 "Can you find me something similar?"

Yes.

Something similar.

For another £400. 🤣💷 That's the reality. Nothing I can do about it.

Happy Saturday everyone! 🍻☀️

Now go and enjoy your weekend... unless you're still thinking about that holiday from last Sunday. 😜✈️🌴

😂✈️🍹🏖️💷🤣

12/06/2026

😂📱 Well that was fun...

As you're probably aware, Facebook decided to have a little brain fart for the last hour or so. 🤦‍♂️💨

So if you've tried to message me and it wouldn't send...

❌ I haven't blocked you.
❌ I haven't ignored you.
❌ I haven't suddenly retired and opened a beach bar in Tenerife.

It's just Facebook being Facebook. 🙃

And if you can't see my page...

Well, I probably have blocked you...

But you won't be able to see this post anyway, so we're all good. 😂😂😂

Everything seems to be returning to normal now, so if you've been trying to get hold of me, just send your message again and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. 📩✈️

Now, back to looking at holidays instead of watching Facebook fall apart. 🍹🌴😎

✈️🌴 FRIDAY TRAVEL THOUGHT 🌴✈️
(This is a nice one)

By 9am on a Friday, half the country has mentally checked out.

By 10am, you've already looked at holidays.

By lunchtime, you've convinced yourself you deserve one.

And by 3pm, you're pricing up a week in the sun because "life's too short." 🍹☀️

The funny thing is...

You're absolutely right. 😎

So stop saying "maybe next year" and start saying "what dates have you got available?" 😉

📩 My inbox is open if you're ready to swap spreadsheets for sunbeds and Teams calls for cocktails.

Happy Friday everyone! 🍻🌴
