#40 We round out the end of season 2 with another star from the world of cruise content creation, Mr Gary Bembridge.

At the time of recording Gary has been on 124 cruises around the globe, and he has documented pretty much all of them.

His mission is to help make it easier for others to book their cruises, by shining an impartial light on what the different lines offer, and objectively weighing up all the pros and cons.

I learned all about his upbringing, his early career, how it set him up to succeed, and more!

Hopefully you're enjoying DeckTales so far. If so, please do smash that like button, share your favourite episodes with your friends, and subscribe of course!

I'm gonna take a break from posting for a while as I need to record and edit with a batch of new guests for the next series, and if you or someone you know would like to be a guest on the show, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

I hope it's nothing but smooth sailing for you all out there.

Ciao for now

My guest today is the wonderful Emma La Teace, or as she is perhaps better known across social media, Emma Cruises.

She started her own ship vlogging and blogging journey nearly a decade ago, and a post of hers regarding the charity Mercy Ships caught my attention, so I got in touch to learn more.

Alongside raising money for them with the help of a certain Captain Hudson, she has also been busy producing children's books, and recently just launched and co founded the company 'The Cruise Globe'

The Cruise Globe

It was great to be able to hear her story and how she got into cruising, and I'm so thankful not only for the wonderful work she has been doing, but for also agreeing to be a guest on the show.

To see all of the work she has been doing over the years, she can be found here:

A little something different today, as my guest Peter Knego is the first person on DeckTales who has NOT worked on ships.

His enthusiasm for them however, has basically meant he's spent more time on ships over the years than some of my previous guests.

Peter fell in love with the old ocean liners when he was young, and his obsession for them only grew over time.

He was blogging about them before the word was invented, then he progressed into vlogging, where he started a YouTube channel which can be found at Peter Knego's MidShipCinema - YouTube, and a website for people who love old ships as much as he does, where the fixings and furnishings he salvaged from Indian scrapyards are up for sale.
