I was about to sign off this afternoon and noticed that sometime today, Thursday 17 October, Solent Richard’s Cruise Blog passed the 20,000 hits mark.

Not in my wildest dreams would I have expected this new venture to have achieved that number of hits in slightly over 6 months, let alone be read in 76 Countries.

So a big thank you to all my readers who have all helped in making it all worthwhile.

There are certainly some exciting cruises coming up in 2014 with a whole load of new destinations just waiting to be reviewed.

Thanks again.

Solent Richard.
