Helping you choose the right cruise!
Welcome to No Cruise Control. I am Lois, and I have spent nearly 20 years exploring the world by cruise ship, with 575 nights at sea across 22 different cruise lines.
Here you will find honest, usefuly cruise guides designed to help you plan your next cruise and understand what you are actually getting for your money.
From luxury and expedition cruising to ocean and river cruises, I cover ship reviews, cabins, dining, destinations, solo cruising and the experiences that make different cruise lines worth considering.
Expect detailed ship guides, practical cruise advice and first hand experiences from cruise lines including Celebrity, Silversea, Seabourn, National Geographic - Lindblad Expeditions, Crystal, Windstar, Holland America Line, Azamara, MSC, Disney, NCL and many more.
No hype, no clickbait, just helpful cruise content from someone who loved cruising.
When I am not travelling, I am a Specialist Nurse in the NHS in London.

I’m so excited! I’m sat in the British Airways lounge at London Gatwick, awaiting my flight to New York! ✈️🗽
This journey is a tale of adventure, as I embark on a Vlogging adventure through the bustling streets of New York City and set sail on the magnificent Emerald Princess cruise ship to explore New England and Canada with Princess Cruises. 🚢🍁
I originally planned an epic Alaskan adventure, but life had other plans that’ll be next year on Silver Nova. I decided to rearrange, to ensure Mr. NCC could join me on my upcoming Resilient Lady Dubai to Singapore adventure (stay tuned for that Vlog!).
So, here I am, seizing the moment, spending my hard earned cash and embracing this new adventure. 🇺🇸
Join me as I document every step of this exciting journey.
From the bright lights of NYC to the serene waters of New England, let's explore the world together, one Vlog at a time! 🌎✨

Have a great Monday!
