Cruising with added smiles
I first came across cruisemiles back in 2009 when they were still cruisevouchers, and I nervously took the plunge and purchased my first voucher from eBay. I booked my first cruise, a transatlantic crossing from Miami to Rome, for our honeymoon in April 2010 and then spent months worrying that it was all too good to be true - surely we couldn't really cruise for that price? Well, it was true, there were no catches and we spent two weeks on board relaxing in the lap of luxury, the perfect honeymoon and we couldn't have afforded it otherwise. We were treated exactly the same as the full-paying guests. That was it, we were hooked, and I soon purchased more vouchers and booked a Mediterranean cruise which we took in Oct 2011. Once again, a luxurious yet affordable holiday. I've watched with interest as the company has evolved from the original vouchers to the current miles system, expanding and constantly coming up with new ideas without losing its ideals - there's now a thriving online forum where you can chat to like-minded cruise enthusiasts who can answer pretty much any question you might have about cruising (or anything else for that matter), as well as an in-house auction site to feed your growing addiction. There's a good reason why so many of Richard's customers feel compelled to sing his praises and spread the word. I already have another two cruises booked and can't wait to see what comes up next.
