My husband before we get too old to travel, as his health is deteriorating.

I would love to take my husband Andy and our daughter Olivia on a cruise as it would be so relaxing and a lovely way to spend some quality time together and experience different places

Can't bear the thought of being on one of these huge liners with the great unwashed. All those people! All that food! All that forced entertainment! The only cruise I would consider would be on a small boat with all my family and friends to the Galapagos or to the Antarctic. Both preferably. What a miserable old granny I am but give me a villa and my own pool with my own DH and I'm as happy as a happy thing in Happyville

I would take my partner we love travelling and have never been on a cruise together.

I would take my family (husband, 2daughters and their boyfriends ) on a cruise with me because none of us have ever been on a cruise before! I’ve always wanted to go on one

I'd go with mu best friend because we have so much fun when go away together. My husband is wonderful but having that special time with a friend who you don't see as often as you like is priceless.

I have never been on a cruise I have always thought that it is something I would not enjoy but the more I watch and read about the experience the more I am drawn to going on one with my husband who has only ever travelled as The Isle of Man when he was sent to stay with his family in Onchan when he was a boy.
We have a big anniversary next year and it would be fantastic if he could be treated to such a trip.

A sound engineer to disconnect loud speakers from big screens that often mar cruises.

I've been on 2 cruises - one on a large American vessel (never again) in the Caribbean and the other on a 32 berth boat around the Galapagos (would return in a heartbeat). If I had to go on a large ship again, I would take a hypnotist who would 1/ make me see the positive side of queueing to get on and off the ship in port and 2/ persuade other people not to gorge themselves at the buffet because it's free. On the second type, I would take a personal scuba diving tutor who will encourage me to finally complete the PADI course.

My darling husband. We have such laughs together and both appreciate scenery, relaxation and meals prepared for us.

As a widow, I'd have to take my D who works so hard, rarely gets time off but at the same time is so appreciated at her workplace. She does get concessionary fares from Stena line but it's not the same sailing from Birkenhead to Belfast as a whole change of scenery would be on a cruise ship. Even a Mediterranean cruise would be magic.

We did one cruise for our silver wedding which we both adored. We went to Alaska, we did whale watching and saw so much wonderful wildlife. I would love to do another cruise, but the costs are so prohibitive now. I would not want to do a 'Hot' cruise, ie, Mediterranean, caribbean etc, but would love to go to Norway, or even the Antarctic.

I’d really love to take my DH, DC and DGS to Alaska, and to see the boys’ faces when they travelled on the old Gold Rush railway, saw a whale for the first time, smelt the salmon in Ketchikan, and panned for gold in the hills.

This would only be possible in my dream world though, where we could step on the ship at Newcastle, and miraculously leave no carbon footprint. For now, we’ll stick with a week in Scarborough.

I would also take my husband with me. We rarely get to spend quality time together and neither of us have ever been on a cruise before, so it would be a wonderful first for us. Relaxing, being a little bit spoiled and seeing a little bit of the world together would be just magical.

Another vote for taking DH with me. We want to make the most of every moment we have together and we love to explore the world.

I would like to take all my DC and DGC and of course my DH (Best Beloved) to Alaska for a week with a few days in Seattle on the way home. But I’m having enough problems trying to sort out a weekend break for all of us which everyone can make, so I’ll settle for just taking my Best Beloved.

I absolutely LOVE cruises and would soo love to take all my family (including my ex husband and his fiance, (there would be 23 of us in all just so that we could experience this as a family, and to prove to some of my family how wonderful cruising is.

I don't have an old husband either so would take dd and did, or if I could take a celebrity I would take Monty Don, he would explain all about the different plants on our stops. Also I would like to take Chris pacham so he could help me find the lovely wildlife .

I would go with my husband. He is in the navy and gets to travel on the sea without me and has done for years. We have just got off a cruise and he is now convinced that it is a great way to holiday. Not at all like a busmans holiday.

I would like to take my good friend who has been a source of strength through some tough times

Well I don't have an OH, so I'd be happy to take anyone who could pay my share as otherwise I couldn't go at all!

Oh, I see you are supposed to choose family members. In that case I would take my partner. We have has some lovely holidays, mostly by rail and local transport, which we always book ourselves. However, his Parkinson’s disease is progressing, so that he finds independent travel stressful and painful. I have tried to persuade him to take a cruise, but he insists cruises are not for him, so i would like to take him so that he could see that it would be an enjoyable way to see beautiful places in comfort.

I would like to take Andrew Graham-Dixon and Giorgio Locatelli. When we dock in different ports, Andrew could take me to see extraordinary works of art, and explain their history and meaning, and Giorgio would know which out-of- the way restaurants would serve delicious local dishes, and which ones to order, as well as taking me to local markets. Art and food- delicious!

I would love to take my sister on a cruise, she has had a tough few years yet is always upbeat and good company.

I would love to take my husband as he is losing his sight due to macular degeneration. Last chance holiday. I would also like to take Joanna Lumley to drink some champers with and if my husband’s eyesight is bad he would still fancy me instead of her!!
