'Win a Cruise' - a roundup of competitions for you to enter before the end of 2019

We had so many lovely messages about our cruise competition round up last month and I set out to do another list for you but I think we’ve hit a bit of a low patch!!! Cruise Competitions seem in very short in supply this month - I’ve added some that finish in December and suspect that our next roundup will be in January - prime holiday booking time, so we will probably be inundated then!! 

PS. Tiny little reality check… most of these are UK only competitions but if you are from elsewhere you can always check and see if you can enter!!

CLOSING THIS MONTH…

World of Cruisings Jane McDobald competition is probably the highlight of a very sparce month!
