We are Patrick & Peter from Manchester, UK, and it’s fair to say that ever since our first ever cruise on Mariner of the Seas in 2004 we have become hooked on this type of vacation. We have been on nearly 40 cruises across 10 different cruise lines and during that time we have gathered a lot of knowledge on the world of cruising and cruise ships.
