Soul Fly Buddies Blog - Karen September 2025

Each month we bring you the views and thoughts from those who make up our user-led team, Soul Fly Buddies.

For September we hear from Karen, who tells us more about her birthday getaway.

"I’ve just come back from the most wonderful birthday trip, and I’m still smiling from it! I spent two nights in a lovely hotel and then set off on a cruise to Moreton Island. Honestly, I loved every single second of it.

There was so much to enjoy on board. I got right into playing bingo and trivia, which were so much fun. I also spent plenty of time in the pools and spas, which felt so relaxing. Each night I went to dinner in the dining rooms and enjoyed trying something new from the menu. The shows were another highlight, with so much entertainment in one place.

What really stood out was how friendly the staff were. They made everything feel easy and welcoming, which made the whole trip even more special. Of course, the very best part was just spending that time with my son, making memories together.

Now I’m completely obsessed and cannot wait to book another one. It really was the best way to treat myself for my birthday, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to do something special."
