Top 10 tips for first-time British cruisers

That's an excellent article, and worth saving.

Just to add, that C&M is also adult only, although they're experimenting with allowing children on board one ship in the August holidays... and all RCI/Celebrity ships sailing from the UK provide kettles in cabins (though the rule about tea bags still stands!)

Thank you for this. :)

Agree, a useful article, but another addition.

Neither Swan Hellenic nor Voyages of Discovery are still trading since their parent company, All Leisure, went into administration in January this year. We had a cruise with VoD booked (would have been our 3rd), and it is unfortunate because they did such unusual itineraries - one of ours spent three days in Libya.

I really don't know of any line that has Lipton tea bags anymore. Celebrity used Tea Forte teas last time I sailed on them. NCL used Keurig K Cups of various types in the suites. RCCL has First Tea. Carnival and HAL has Bigelow. Princess has had either Revolution or Mighty Leaf.
