I’ve just disembarked a traditional British cruise, despite very much not being a traditional person. We had formal nights and dress codes, and I had to share my dinner table with strangers at a set time and I came across a few strange rules which I was not expecting. This cruise was very different from any cruise I’ve ever taken before and we had highs and lows that I could never have predicted. Those highs and lows were literal as well, the ship was so rocky and the seas were seriously rough.

I usually cruise with the casual cruise lines, I love big new exciting cruise ships like the ones that have ropes courses and waterslides, I’ve been skydiving on cruise ships and even tried surfing which was so cool. Taking a traditional cruise on a small ship wasn’t on my radar but when I saw an amazing itinerary sailing with the traditional cruise line Fred Olsen I thought maybe this would be my chance.

Reading their website I saw that it said ‘If after a couple of days on board you find that it is not right for you, we will fly you home and your cruise fare will be refunded.’ I’ve never seen a cruise line promise anything like that before so I figured I had nothing to lose really, and I booked the cruise.

I was nervous, I didn’t know if I’d fit in, I wasn’t sure if there were lots of rules I’d have to follow, I thought I might find it a bit boring to be honest and had no idea how a small ship would handle the notoriously rocky seas on the route I was taking.

We embarked the ship in Newcastle and embarkation was made very easy by the fact that I’d already been sent my luggage tags and tickets pre-cruise so there wasn’t anything for me to organise myself. With most of the big cruise lines you have to remember to print everything you need so this was the first real difference I noticed. This was a really good sign for me that traditional cruising might have some benefits that I hadn’t thought about. I was still nervous but only time would tell if I’d be converted to the more classic style of cruising.
