Cruising's smartest new blog, with a witty & acerbic weekly take on what makes it fun, or not, as the case may be. T&T can be an acquired taste - like caviar.

@MandMsTravels We were thinking of going down to Brighton this afternoon, but this convinced us a nice G&T in front of the fire was infinitely preferable!

@faerder46 @VirginVoyages @emmacruises If that's their idea of being 'disruptive,' darling, they're only one step away from staging Strictly Come Towel Folding..... #cruise #travel

@Hurtiagents Ah, but if you add a tattoo parlour and IKEA furniture, you will really have the 'influencers' fawning all over you, darlings!

Good, smart new policy on #coronavirus from @regentcruises. This should help ease the mind of all passengers booked to travel soon: https://t.co/Ji1waUMsxO #Cruise #Travel

Did you know that only 2% of the world’s mariners are women? ⚓️👩‍👩‍👧‍👧

Well not at Celebrity Cruises who are to set sail with first-ever all-female crew to mark International Women's Day on 8 March 2020.

@wintertonsworld @TheSun *Sigh* They won't be happy until we are all running around in a panic like headless chickens. We'll take the #cruise ship and a good G&T every day, darling...

Have you seen it yet? Our take-down of the #VirginVoyages hype (and brickbats!). It's all on this week's @CruiseLineUK blog: https://t.co/lTqjbbMTOI #Cruise #travel

[OverTheYardarm @TreadwellTenny]

@faerder46 @vegancruiser It could work better in the Med, where air carry is cheaper and more plentiful. But, for UK folks to Miami, flights will add at least another $1,000/couple to the overall cost, almost twice that during peak periods. And all that for just a 4 or 5-day #cruise? We're thinking Not.

This is Virgin on the Ridiculous - our take on the amazing hullabaloo over the new #VirginVoyages cruise line, plus the media hype - and brickbats. It's not for us, you know: https://t.co/lTqjbbMTOI #Cruise #Travel

[OverTheYardarm @TreadwellTenny]

@faerder46 @vegancruiser We shall certainly find out, but it's the 'who can afford it' part that makes us raise an eyebrow (plus the lack of enough air capacity to get 2800 people to/from Miami every 4/5 days). Good luck with that!

[OverTheYardarm @TreadwellTenny]

@faerder46 @vegancruiser Truth.

[OverTheYardarm @TreadwellTenny]

@faerder46 Amen, darling.

[OverTheYardarm @TreadwellTenny]

@faerder46 Most modern mega-ships have that block-of-flats appearance, but this one definitely abuses the privilege!

[OverTheYardarm @TreadwellTenny]

@AdventureChrisS The sea view or the gin and tonics?!
