I have sailed on over 50 cruises now (lost count!) on a wide range of cruise lines and cruises ships. Of course, still more to go, but here’s my tops cruise lines and experiences so far. May be a surprise or two in this list and some notable cruise lines missing. My list changes now and then and who knows, with new cruise lines and ships on the horizon, maybe this year will see some changes to the list again? Who are currently at the top of your list?
Next week I will be bringing you my WORST cruise experiences – there are 3 in particular that immediately spring to mind!

Let’s talk ship! Every emotion running through this vlog – you’ll see!
Haha I love the sound of the Marella cruise lines, I'm not a fan of formal Jamie
Previously sailed Celebrity and have tried Princess ( which I hated) ..Changed to Marella and love it..Looking forward to my meeting cruise with them in 3wks time..18 Wonderful days..
Hi Jamie, a couple of questions on a Marella theme, as we're travelling on Explorer 2 in December. How would you categorise the formal nights in terms of dress code. Regarding the premium drinks package, is this something you would recommend, or are the drinks provided in the all inclusive package of sufficient variety and quality?
This video is well-made and well-edited.
Great review…thank you
Myself, wife and daughter sail on the Explorer 2 in July ‘23 and are doing the Eastern Med…we are beyond excited 
Great review as always…. In fact I’m going back to rewatch the FO vlog on Borealis again as I’m definitely considering this ship for a big birthday next year
Great video
I love you Jamie, not only a very nice passenger but an informative and funny guy. You make me smile and give me lots of ideas for future cruising. I have booked an Iona cruise because of your vlog and now I am off to look at booking a Marella cruise. Thank you
QV was my 1st cruise
I am going to sail on Cunard Victoria next year and P&O Ventura next month. I am excited.
I agree about the snobs on the Cunard Facebook groups. All up their own arses.
I've had 12 trips with Marella (Thomson) and can thoroughly recommend their service, choice of itineraries & dining. The Explorer ships are very comfortable. Will try the P&O Ventura next month and hope it matches up.
US viewer here, What is Buttlint?
We also love Marella P&O ships Cunard QM2 and Queen Victoria and Tui Rivercruises Skala
Totally agree with your opinion on Iona, such a great value ship!
hi Jamie, me and my now wife are going on our first cruise on the 2nd of April this year on arvia. we are both very excited and don't quit know what expect, do you have any tips for us? and will you be on this cruise too? if so we would love to meet you and perhaps grab a drink? look forward to you nest video thank you
What an interesting read, thanks Jamie. Our go-to has always been Cunard in the past, though we are looking at other options now, after high wifi, gratuity and wine charges came as a bit of a shock at the end of our Iceland cruise on Queen Victoria last year (and only wine at dinner every night for one of us, as I don't drink and had water). Some like Celebrity look better value but some like Seabourn are so expensive!
First cruise ever next month, Marella Explorer followed by P&O Iona in June. Glad you rate both lines.
As always, love your vlogs!! Hope you have some great trips planned for this year
Another great vlog as always also I’m curious which Marella cruises you have booked for this year ?
Love your blog's but as I have only sailed on p&O not much to compare. Azura is my favourite, going on Arvia in May.
Love Cunard
wanting to go on Queen Anne
