I love cruising, not only can you enjoy full board (or all inclusive if you add a drinks package) but you get to visit some incredibly beautiful places, places that you may not have thought about visiting or you may not want to spend a week in. There are lots of excursions you can do, there is something for everyone. However, if you just want to explore yourself, you can. My favourite destination on the med cruises would be Montenegro as it is stunning. On board there is so much to do day and night, there are amazing shows and entertainment.

For me this is my favourite place in America, I love the feel of the place. There is something for everyone here, from the pier and the fantastic beach, to the shopping. It’s a great location to be able to explore further along the pacific coast and as the weather is mild most of the year it’s always perfect to be out and about….we’ve even spotted the odd celebrity. There is a large variety of food ranging from premium steakhouses to amazingly delicious Mexican restaurants. A day out at the pier is the best if you've got kids, there's a rollercoaster, ferris wheel and other little activities you can do in Pacific Park.

I particularly like it in the old town because it caters for all different types of people - you can relax on the lovely beach, dance the night away or try some delicious food in one of the many restaurants. During the summer they also have an inflatable apparatus in the sea, which everyone can enjoy.
