Discover The Truth About Cruising Cruising is an incredible way to explore the world, and its popularity among UK travellers is soaring. However, several cruising misconceptions might be putting you off from considering one for your next holiday. So, if you've been tempted by a cruise lately, read on to discover the 6 common cruise myths/ This week, my focus will be on dispelling all the misconceptions surrounding cruise holidays. Myth 1: Cruises are crowded "I thought I would be squeezing through corridors and waiting in long queues. But I was amazed at how big, bright, and airy the ship was!" Contrary to popular belief, modern cruise ships have spacious layouts and various onboard activities to ensure passengers can find their own peaceful spots. Whether lounging by the pool or enjoying a quiet meal, there's ample space for relaxation. Additionally, off-peak cruise seasons offer even more tranquillity, making it easier to avoid large crowds.

Nassau, the world’s busiest cruise port, is gearing up to enhance its allure with a $35 million water park set to launch in December 2025. This development is part of a larger $330 million redevelopment initiative aimed at transforming the passenger experience. Given Nassau’s current reputation, many cruise passengers often treat it as just a way station on their journey to private resorts. However, with the water park construction on the horizon, visitors can look forward to a family-friendly attraction right at the port, offering an alternative to the more expensive options like Atlantis Resort. In a similar vein, Royal Caribbean is launching its own Royal Beach Club at Paradise Island, showcasing the competitive spirit among cruise lines to provide guests with unique and engaging experiences. Imagine the excitement that families will feel—to not only explore Nassau but also enjoy thrilling water slides and relaxing pools just steps from their ship! As the cruise industry strives to become more competitive, enhancements like these are essential for attracting and retaining cruise passengers. What other innovations do you think could make cruise destinations more engaging for families? Share your thoughts! 🎢 #CruiseIndustry #TravelInnovation #NassauCruisePort

When you go to the Gold Coast for a holiday, you don’t care that two of the main theme parks are 47km from the airport or which council areas they’re in, do you? You probably don’t even think about it. The Blue Mountains and Western Sydney has traditionally been a day trip destination from the current CBD and Kingsford Smith Airport or a weekend getaway for Sydneysiders. But come 2026, the new Western Sydney International Airport will bring us a new type of visitor, one that we still need to get our head around. Judging by the Gold Coast example, passengers from around the world will filter far and wide throughout our region without questioning. They will stay and play, eat and play, see and play, do business and play, visit friends and family and play wherever they can get to quickly and easily. We need to work together as an industry to erase those traditional council boundaries from our guest experience as soon as they alight the plane. Our guests should be encouraged to crisscross between Blue Mountains, Penrith and Hawkesbury and guided through their visit no matter what they want to do and where. We also need to stop worrying about where they will stay as long as they book a bed in Penrith, the Hawkesbury or Blue Mountains. How long they stay will depend on how ready we are and how many accessible attractions we have. The first passenger planes touch down in 2 years time. Is Western Sydney ready for this new visitor? Not yet. We need more things for more people to do more often before then. So big thinkers, what are you waiting for? Get those big projects out of your heads and into reality. And if you’re an existing attraction that currently does not service the inbound market, get export ready and join forces with the rest of the industry to maximise this global opportunity. Western Sydney needs you.   #westernsydney #airportready #wsi #visitbluemountains #penrithishere #visithawkesbury Simon Hickey Catherine Payne @Pru Car MP Destination NSW Richard Fox Penrith Chamber Business Western Sydney Susan Templeman 📸 courtesy Western Sydney International Airport

Shannon McKee and I are in #CoconutGrove for this edition of “Our Take on Cruise.” A local peacock enjoyed watching us film, so I hope you enjoy this episode. We discuss Dondra Ritzenthaler taking over as CEO of Azamara, and immediately embarking on a “listening tour” of travel advisors in the US, Canada and UK. Also, exciting news - Princess Cruises will once again homeport in #SanJuan! Global Ports Holding Plc has taken over the San Juan cruise port, and is revitalizing it to being one of the most important homeports for Caribbean cruising! This is great news, not just for San Juan, but also for southern Caribbean ports (why, you ask – watch the video 😀). Other items - Bloomberg reported that cruise lines have spent $1.5 billion since 2019 on private destinations and attractions. Cruise lines control the experience at these destinations, resulting in very high satisfaction from their guests. These destinations also drive demand for cruises, resulting in higher revenue. Speaking of guest satisfaction, #Disney reported that Disney Cruise Line had the highest guest satisfaction in their organization (Yay cruising)! And, Victory Cruise Lines is relaunching in the #GreatLakes, homeporting at Navy Pier in #Chicago. #OurTakeOnCruise #cruiseindustryexperts #cruise #wearecruise Cruise and Port Advisors, Inc.

Let’s talk about why smaller cruise ships might be the perfect fit for your next adventure. 1. UNIQUE PORTS & HIDDEN GEMS Azamara, Oceania, and Regent Cruise Lines specialize in boutique cruising. Their smaller ships can navigate narrower waterways, granting access to off-the-beaten-path ports that larger vessels can’t reach.

STRESS-FREE EMBARKATION & DISEMBARKATION Smaller ships mean less hustle and bustle during embarkation and disembarkation. No long lines or crowded terminals – just a smooth transition from land to sea. Picture stepping onto the ship with ease, ready to embrace your adventure without any hassle. 3. INTIMATE ATMOSPHERE On smaller ships, you’ll find a sense of community. Get to know fellow travelers, share stories, and create lasting friendships. Enjoy personalized service from crew members who remember your name and preferences – it’s like sailing with family. 4. CULINARY DELIGHTS These cruise lines take dining seriously. Savor gourmet meals, farm-to-table ingredients, and diverse culinary experiences. From themed dinners to cooking classes, your taste buds are in for a treat. 5. DEALS & VALUE Yes, smaller ships may have a slightly higher price tag, but hear us out! Value-added perks often balance the cost. Think free excursions, unlimited Wi-Fi, and all-inclusive amenities. Plus, keep an eye out for special promotions – you might snag a deal that makes it all worthwhile. So, whether you’re dreaming of exploring the Greek Isles, gliding through the Norwegian fjords, or discovering hidden coves in the Caribbean, consider a small-ship cruise.
