CRUISE PODCAST – 5 – The Darker side of the ports we visit

By

-

Remembrance Sunday is a day to look back. Every cruise port has a history of man against man, from war to crusades, to slavery. They are different words, but in practice, the building of forts at the side of a port has happened since mankind travelled in boats and ships. Jean looks at Pearl Harbor, which is between Japan and mainland America. She looks at Troy and reflects on Gallipoli. Then discusses the history and origin of the poppy appeal.

Armistice Day started after the first world war to remember everyone from all over the Commonwealth who had fallen in conflict. The RBL now supports many injured and wounded veterans. Pearl Harbour is a memorial park.

Jean visits Chania in Crete, which is a short distance from Souda Bay. There lies the cemetery of so many un-named airmen.

Plan your Cruise with Confidence

Whether you’re booking hotels, flights, or planning your cruise, we recommend trusted platforms to make the process smooth and affordable:

  • We make cruise port guide films and ship tours. Please subscribe to our free cruise channel. We do receive income from YouTube not from guests or their subscription to our channel which is free.
  • Trip.com and Booking.com are excellent platforms for comparing and booking Trains, Hotels, Flights, and port-accessible travel, like connections between cruise ports and major cities.
  • CruiseDirect and World of Cruising offer great deals on cruises with transparent pricing. There are others, and you can book direct via a cruise operators own website and may find last minute deals, like with Princes Cruises.
  • GetYourGuide helps you discover top attractions and experiences at your destination.
  • Or, from home you can read a thrilling cruise novel and feel like you are onboard and in the action, like Cruise Ship Heist

After over ten years in travel, we know how valuable research is. These platforms let you compare availability and prices easily. We’ve partnered as affiliates with a few brands that are helpful to cruisers, which means if you use our links to outside companies, we may receive a small commission, which supports this platform — which is at no extra cost to you.

We at Doris Visits do not collect your data. We don’t have mailing lists. We do administer a few Facebook chat sites, but the members run them and they moderate them.

Fantastic cruise ship tours, top to bottom

In order to gain support from platforms, you may find that the platform puts adverts onto our page. We have partnerships with cruise and travel companies, which means we get offers that we can pass on, news, information and sit as their friends or fellows. That does mean that we can get a commission, as explained here. It is why we have to declare the warnings you reject or accept. http://paidforadvertising.com/.

We do produce cruise thrillers and try and keep them as cheap as we can. Please download and read one – and more importantly review it and mention you have read it on your chat group. Each little build in book audience takes us nearer to that possible high end TV series – read them and you will see what I mean. The first is Cruise Ship Heist, the latest is The Unexpected. Start with either…. the first is about drug money leaving south America, the Unexpected is an espionage type terror thriller based in the Baltic.
