Ho ho ho - it's now the festive season, so for a bit of fun let's see your festive cruise ship names.

You can come up with new names or you could change the names of current cruise ships to give them a Christmas feel to them.

We'll start with Reindeer-dam ๐ŸฆŒ

Balconies are great and I do like booking them. A little bit of outdoor space to yourself and perfect for Sailaway or arrival into port. Budget wise however we do tend to go for the inside or outside category but if there is special offers to be had we would book balcony all day long.

It's always worth getting up early in the morning to see a cruise ship arrive into Dundee. With a beautiful sunrise too, Vasco Da Gama made quite the entrance back in August.
