Going on a cruise can be a great way to see the world all in one holiday and what can be even better is sharing that experience with someone you love...be it a friend, family member or even extended family & friends. Who you go away with can really alter the type of holiday you have for the better; do you bring your always-up-for-an-adventure cousin or perhaps you’d want to take your partner because they’re more relaxed? With this in mind Holland America Line would love to know who you’d take on a cruise and why?

Here’s what Holland America Line have to say: ‘Holland America Line’s elegant hotels at sea are perfect for all holiday makers. Whether you wish to go solo, with a partner or with extended family, there are destinations to suit every traveller, and a lifestyle for every passion - whether explorers, foodies or music lovers…’

'From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed as a friend. Settle into your spacious stateroom and your room steward will pop by to ensure every detail is in order, taking a moment to learn your name to greet you personally every day. Throughout the ship you’ll find service is gracious and attentive. Never in the way, yet always close at hand.'

Do you have a big family and you’d love to take them all for a whole host of different reasons? Is it your partner you’d like to bring with you because you both love travelling and exploring new places together? Perhaps you have a group of friends that you have non-stop laughs with that you’d love to bring along? Maybe you’d like some quality time with your children and/or grandchildren? Or even if you can’t think of any friends/family you’d like to bring, what about if you could literally take anyone in the world on a cruise? Why would you choose them?

Share who you’d take on a cruise with and why on the thread below and everyone who does will be entered into a prize draw where one GNer will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

I would take my wonderful husband and the grandchildren and hope to see the northern lights

My husband of 37 Years. So many of our friends and colleagues love cruising. It is on our bucket list.

tiggers Fri 20-Sept-19 14:40:56

I would want my husband with me, so we could both relax and enjoy our holiday together.

LolaHolaSnr Fri 20-Sept-19 14:19:44

My husband of 35 years, because he's the best thing in my life.

Heather51 Fri 20-Sept-19 14:12:49

My DH because we have been together so long, he knows me inside out and I can really relax in his company. We both enjoy a lot of the same things but also have our own individual interests and although he sometimes drives me mad he also knows how to make me happy.?

I'd definitely want to take my sister to thank her for the last four and a half years of keeping me company at every hospital appointment I've had (sometimes weekly or fortnightly). She's never complained about the hours we spend in waiting rooms just to spend 10 minutes with a doctor and she runs around for me collecting prescriptions and getting refreshments etc. I'd be lost without her and lover her to bits

NiCH Fri 20-Sept-19 13:54:22

My sister. We have so much in common and enjoy each other’s company.

jannetje66 Fri 20-Sept-19 13:39:53

I would go with my daughter as she deserves a trip. Both of us have never been on a cruise before so it will be a new adventure.

yellowcanary Fri 20-Sept-19 13:31:04

My friend Carol and I are thinking of going on a cruise for our 60th birthdays in 2 years time - I am widowed, she is divorced and go on holiday together.

creativz Fri 20-Sept-19 12:51:41

I’ve got a thing for Karl Urban at the moment blush can’t deny he often makes me go weak at the knees ! I’ll probably change my mind by next week tho and fancy taking my postman instead, as he’s very handy to have around. hmm

greig23 Fri 20-Sept-19 12:43:16

MY LOVELY PARTNER. we have wanted to go ona cruise ever since we met but cant afford it just yet. We hope to go on lots and lots when we retire

GabriellaG54 Fri 20-Sept-19 12:19:01

Tom.

GeminiJen Fri 20-Sept-19 12:04:07

I’d love to take my children and grandchildren on a ‘once in a lifetime’ trip to Alaska, while the grandchildren are still young enough to be blown away by the beauty of it all...and while it still exists. Seeing creatures in the wild really brings the message home about how precious this is and how important to preserve it for generations to come.

susiesioux Fri 20-Sept-19 11:23:53

I would only go on a Disney cruise and it would’ve withmy whole family. Son and daughter in law and two granddaughters daughter and son in law. Husband and my mum

Septimia Fri 20-Sept-19 11:11:09

I'd send DS and DiL. They like cruising, I've never wanted to except, possibly, in a very small vessel with only a few other passengers.

And I don't like the disruption that the passengers cause ashore or the pollution caused by the ships.

wallers5 Fri 20-Sept-19 11:05:19

I would take my long term partner who is a great explorer to make sure we do & see everything!

AmberMarie Fri 20-Sept-19 10:43:23

Being recently widowed with family over 300 miles away - I would just love to be able to take my dear little dog!!

obag Fri 20-Sept-19 10:41:53

My lovely Husband.

greenfinger5 Fri 20-Sept-19 10:40:45

I would go with my Partner of 30 years, we always go on holiday together.

dahlia08 Fri 20-Sept-19 10:37:35

I would love my daughter to accompany me. She will be there for me and do her own things too.

Psalmody Fri 20-Sept-19 10:25:06

My three best friends! Us four girls were only talking about getting away together last week! We have all had a traumatic year in various ways and are in need of some man free chill space!

kgnw28225 Fri 20-Sept-19 10:18:30

I would take my husband Keith, we have been married for 45 yrs this year, and shared many travel adventures together, some of them cruising. I have been in a writing group for about eight years, at our local library. So, always write a blog when we go on holiday. It’s a wonderful way to relive all of those memories, time and time again.

AliBeeee Fri 20-Sept-19 10:16:12

I would take my OH. We have never cruised, but we agree that it may be an option if we get less mobile as we get older.

Shoom72 Fri 20-Sept-19 10:11:20

My husband as in a few weeks have been married 25 years!!

marpau Fri 20-Sept-19 10:10:54

I would take my best friend who also happens to be my hubby. He does so much for us an I know he has always wanted to go on a cruise.
