replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4 Some cruises can be expensive but you can research, keep a tab on rates for different seasons and check deals for several months before you book if you have the patience. 😂 I also email and check if there are any discounts. 😀 #PTTravel

Q5 What is the food and drink like? Do you have any stops on land to explore further?

replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales @Pinkzenjoy @kate_frankie #pttravel Yes! We had quite a sporting crossing to Ireland a couple of years back. Managed to 'keep it down' but most reluctant to move from my seat!

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot That looks like such a cute staycation idea. I'd ruin it but. #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @kate_frankie We've been on the viking ocean cruise and it was fantastic. I do want to go on one of their river cruises someday. #PTTravel

replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales I would have thought anything in Dubai would be expensive? I took a helicopter to see the water from above. Did you like Dubai overall? #pttravel

A5 Can't really answer this although on a Bilboats river cruise last August they did serve cans of San Miguel, which coincidentally is what I'm drinking just now ;-) #pttravel

A5 #pttravel Food & drink were about the same in my experience. Maybe more expensive though. My pictures of Halong Bay where food was provided & alcohol was extra.

replying to @FE_photograph @FE_photograph @BambooTravel Best place in the world. And the farther East you go, the better it gets. #Pttravel

A5 #PTTravel Again, infinitely variable! Certainly more 'port rich' than the average ocean cruise. Favourite: English Holiday Cruises, on the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal, when they stopped at the Slimbridge Bird Reserve.

replying to @RooLovesTravel @RooLovesTravel I love it (and Abu Dhabi). I know the UAE is a country of contradictions but I find it fascinating. We've looked at moving over there for a while at least and I did have a couple of interviews, but that remains a pipe dream for now. ;-) #pttravel

A5 Cruise ships offer various food & cater for diets. Smaller boats may not. For day trips I don’t expect much as a vegan so take my own food. Boats usually = seafood👎🏻 I much prefer to stop on land for a meal. In Brunei we took a boat to have tea at a local’s home #PTTravel

replying to @RooLovesTravel @RooLovesTravel @Txiki_Tales I did find sightseeing and entry fees everywhere in Dubai expensive. But then I travel from India so every other country is expensive in comparison. 😂 #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith I also wonder if things like that will be cheaper after lockdown to get people going again? Might be pleasantly surprised #PTTravel
