My 'cruise' was on a 30ft yacht from South Africa to S. America & the Carribean then back to the UK. Would have been more fun if I didn't get seasick (I was young & foolish). Won't forget the weather forecast 300 miles off Cornwall - 'Storm Force 10 imminent... have a peaceful night' - looking up at waves higher than the mast was NOT peaceful (change of underwear required!). I would consider a cruise for Antartica but my perfect holiday is to hire a car and travel around the country. Daughter thinks I'm slightly mad (she may be right) and we should have a 'normal' holiday sitting on a beach, but I'd get bored.

When my anxiety is controlled I can travel for hours.  Love most places across the UK, really don't have time for a cruise  ::)

Your story fills me with dread  :o :o - how long B4 you recovered  :-\

Took about 3 years before I could listen to the shipping forecast without an increase in heart rate!

I of course would avoid the Bay of Biscay at all costs  :D



Bay of Biscay in October 2017 so calm I wish it was always like that

Yes I took it when we went on Independence of the seas, it was so calm it was amazing and it was really easy to see the Dolphins that day  :)

Well done you!  People I talk to really enjoy going on cruises, I've never met anyone who wouldn't go again.  But I think I would feel shut in ..... and Himself thinks that he would be bored.

Reading the Sat Telegraphy earlier: one can go round the World for 99 days: cost? £20,000 or more each, with almost £3,000 spending money on board.  EACH  ;D what happens if 1 books but really doesn't like it .........  :-\  more if a balcony suite is booked.

My families GP left Southampton last week on an around the world cruise, he's back on April 12th. I hope the surgery had a locum until he's back  :)
