I found my passion for cruising back in 2007, when I embarked on my first cruise – a 12-night sailing to the Canary Islands onboard P&O Cruises Oriana.

Cruising had never entered my mind, the thought of having a holiday onboard a ship was not appealing. I didn’t want to be confined to a space or pretend to be someone I’m not for two weeks, and I certainly didn’t want to dress up every evening. After all, it was supposed to be a holiday.

My first cruise was the complete opposite to everything I had imagined a cruise to be. It was fun, full of energy, the average age was definitely not 80 and I didn’t have to wear a dress every evening, as I had expected. Those twelve days onboard were a real eye opener and it is fair to say I definitely caught what is often referred to as “the cruising bug” (and no, I don’t mean norovirus). 75+ sailings and a 2 World Cruises later, and I’m still trying to sell the ocean to everyone I meet.

When I am not at sea, I spend my ‘shore days’ working within the cruise industry on numerous projects and with several businesses. I suppose, I get the best of both worlds.
