Lois : No Cruise Control description on YouTube:

Welcome! I’m Lois, I’m a Specialist Nurse in the NHS and a Cruise content creator! I have quite a niche job, which can be very sad, so my way to maintain my resilience is to cruise! To set sail and switch off! I’d love to share this with you and inspire you to cruise! Having spent over 530 days at sea, on 20 different Cruise Lines, I hope to show you that Cruising really is the best way to travel and the choice of different cruise line is immense! Subscribe to watch my NCL, Azamara, Silversea, Seabourn, Celebrity, National Geographic, Windstar, Virgin Voyages, Disney Cruise Line, Explora Journeys, MSC Yacht Club, Majestic Line, Ponant Le Bellot plus many more over this next year. Over the next year I’ll be cruising the Scottish islands, the Med, Antarctica and the Arctic and much more on some very exciting cruise lines.
