The Expert Cruise Show

Just two years ago, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) announced plans to introduce nearly 1,000 new dedicated solo staterooms across their fleet, including Solo Inside, Ocean View, and Balcony categories. Now, the parent company, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH), has reversed course.In this episode, we dive into:Why NCL is reducing its solo cabin offerings and what this revenue-driven decision really means for the bottom line.The irony of this change, given the initial success and dedicated Studio Lounges on ships like the Norwegian Epic and Norwegian Bliss.The frustrating reality of the single supplement—paying double occupancy for a room you occupy alone.How other lines, like Royal Caribbean and Cunard (Queen Mary 2), have handled solo cabins, and why some ships still don't have them (looking at you, Queen Anne!).Anthony's recent booking experience for a solo ocean view room, where the fare was a reasonable $875 (less than the $1,600 double occupancy rate).Our top tips for solo travellers on how to socialise on board and our thoughts on the real value of those small Studio rooms (around 99 square feet / 9.2 square metres).We're very keen to hear about your experiences as a solo cruiser. Do you book dedicated solo cabins, or do you wait for the single supplement to drop closer to sailing?

The story of the Carnival Adventure is a complex one, tracing the history of three different cruise lines in two different hemispheres. Originally launched in 2001 as the Golden Princess, she was a flagship of the Princess Cruises' Grand Class, measuring 108,865 gross tons and stretching 951 feet (290 metres) in length. After almost two decades of global service, she was due for her second life as P&O Cruises Australia’s Pacific Adventure. That transition was complicated by the global pandemic, meaning she spent years waiting to finally join the Australian fleet. Now, in an unprecedented move, she’s found herself recast once more, becoming the Carnival Adventure following the closure of the P&O Australia brand.This episode will take a deep dive into what exactly this "new" Carnival ship is, and how she operates in this third incarnation. We look at the legacy features she carries from her time as Golden Princess, the Australian touches she gained and is now shedding from her brief time as Pacific Adventure, and the specific Carnival Cruise Line elements that have been injected into her identity. It’s a fascinating study of a modern cruise liner caught between ownership changes, a ship where the spirit of the past literally shares a deck with the future of the Fun Ship brand in the demanding Australian market.—🛳️ Subscribe to Chris' Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com🚢 Read Chris' Cunard History Website: https://www.chriscunard.com📚 Browse Chris' Books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books👕 Support the channel at our Cruise Merch store: https://chrisframeofficial.teemill.com✅ Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgk7SzYDkiXWWBfMqXYH0cA/join--🗺️ CUSTOM CRUISE MAP: Made using AIS (satellite ship-tracking) data, The Cruise Maps show the exact route.

Welcome to episode 12 of the Expert Cruise Show, where hosts Anthony and Chris dive deep into the world of cruising. This episode serves as a fascinating follow-up to their special Queen Mary episode, focusing on the iconic 1936 Cunard ship. Chris, who recently experienced the Queen Mary (now a floating hotel in Long Beach, California) for the first time, shares his strong desire to return, despite living thousands of miles away. The hosts explore what made the Queen Mary, and ocean liners of her era, so captivating, contrasting the luxurious yet simpler experiences of the past with the modern amenities of today's cruise ships. They discuss the significant leap in ship design and scale from the 1920s to the 1930s, highlighting how ships like the Queen Mary offered a "magical world" of public spaces and activities, transforming the journey from a mere means to an end into an enjoyable experience in itself.The conversation further delves into the evolution of Cunard ships, from the Art Deco elegance of the Queen Mary to the more contemporary designs of the QE2 and the current fleet, including Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, and the upcoming Queen Anne. Anthony and Chris reflect on the changing nature of the onboard experience, particularly the shift from communal dining and shared experiences to more private options. —🛳️ Join my Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/🚢 Chris' Cunard History Website: https://www.chriscunard.com/📚 Chris' Books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books👕 Cruise Merch: https://chrisframeofficial.Teemill.com/--Disclaimer: ‘The Expert Cruise Show’ is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
