Are there any good search engines to help find a long lost friend in England??

Presumably you've tried facebook, Linkdin, Instagram? Long shot but what about contacting the cruise line company and ask that your details be sent on to that person for them to contact you? In the UK all companies (registered in the UK) must keep employee records on file for five years after they leave,for tax purposes. Do you know where they're from?

I'm fairly good at tracking/finding people.

If you feel comfortable, drop me a message with as much info on them as you can such as; Full name, rough age and location (Location being: London/Kent/Wales/Devon etc..) and I'll see what I can find.

If you know family members names, even better, or if you know an online nickname they went by.

I've done facebook, Instagram and all the others. I was looking for something that is help to locate people......

Facebook would be one possible place to start.
I found a few of my old art school buddies that way.

Maybe he doesn't wanna be found
