About Me
- Nick the Cruise-Guru
- I have been interested in ships and the cruise industry since the age of 8. I have been on over 20 cruises and have visited many islands in the Caribbean, as well as the Bahamas and Bermuda. My friends and colleagues are impressed with my knowledge and value my recommendations. I am hoping, through this blog to be able to share my knowledge, cruise experiences, and the latest cruise news with my fellow cruise enthusiasts.
