How much should you pay for a cruise? - Episode 2 The Expert Cruise Show

We tackle the age-old debate of "luxury" in cruising. Anthony, with his background in high-end hospitality, questions whether a modern cruise butler can ever truly live up to the standard of a London hotel. Chris, the maritime historian, compares the service on many lines to the concept on Celebrity Edge's four main dining rooms, revealing a clever galley secret. Lament the decline of silver service and the impact of 'anytime dining' while offering tips on how to get a truly personalised experience and why being a good passenger goes a long way. We reveal a fascinating glimpse into cruise ships, crew cabins and amenities, including the surprising discovery of a ship's morgue, highlighting the vast difference between the passenger and crew experience. This episode is packed with expert knowledge, revealing what it's truly like to live and work on a cruise liner.
