Thinking about cruising? It’s like staying in a wonderful hotel where every morning brings different scenery and the opportunity for a new adventure. Whether you’re planning your first ever cruise or you already have the cruising bug, The Confident portExplorer will be an invaluable tool, helping you get the most out of your days ashore. Written by cruise expert Cathy Rogers of portExplore, this book shows you how to plot a `whole voyage’ experience. Cathy helps you organise your daily itinerary (whether using the ship’s excursions or exploring independently), dispels cruising myths and shares her do’s and don’t’s of going ashore. Well written, informative and full of great hints and tip, this excellent guide is an absolute must for all cruisers - adding value even before you actually book your cruise!
Cathy Rogers has had a fascination with the sea, islands and sailing for her whole life. A childhood visit on board the Canberra in Hong Kong harbour (which was thrillingly followed by a brass band, ticker tape sail-away), left her with a complete obsession about cruising and cruise ships, which she continues to indulge at every possible opportunity! Cathy hates queues, coaches and standing in line and likes to see much local colour as possible without any risk of missing the ship! Her philosophy is that there is nothing better than a day at sea, so if we have to spend some time ashore then we should make every moment count. The portExplore world sprang from her need for port focused travel advice that she could not find in conventional guide books. It has now grown to include the talkExplore Facebook Group where members can share advice and information, her popular Blog and a monthly column in the new Cruise Addicts Magazine. When not on a cruise ship, escaping her real life as a small business owner in Kent, Cathy can be found at home with her husband Tony and quite possibly their two grown up daughters and families too!
