Since I started cruising I have visited some amazing countries and had the chance to explore some famous historical places. I have tasted the most delicious Haloumi in Cyprus and eaten Cheetos in Israel, sunbathed in Spain and shopped in Gibraltar. What I am trying to say is that I have done many different things…

Costa Allegra Adrift After Fire
As if things couldn’t get any worse for Costa Crociere, it has been reported that the Costa Concordia sister ship, Costa Allegra, has suffered a fire on board and is currently adrift 200 miles south west of the Seychelles, near Alphonse Island. Costa Crociere have confirmed this report and stated that the fire is under control and no passengers…
Dolphin Watching
One of the best experiences I have had whilst on a cruise holiday was Dolphin watching whilst on the island of Madeira. It was my second visit to the island, my friends 1st. We left the ship with intentions of simply exploring the local area and maybe having some lunch. We explored for maybe an…
Monte Carlo
The first time I visited Monte Carlo I fell in love, it was the most amazing place I had ever visited. Not simply because of the beautiful coastline but the everywhere you went it oozed with money, glamour and sophistication. The marine is simply amazing. Everywhere you look there are fantastic yachts, the kind of…
Weird Things we Cruise With
There are some things we simply can not cruise without, things like a passport, money, tickets, clothes and a toothbrush. Perfectly normal items that will be found in everyone’s luggage and hand luggage. Sometimes though we find ourselves packing things that we really do not need to take on holiday with us, or need at…
Solo Cruising
So a few days ago I had my younger sister share with you all what her experience on board was like. She detailed activities in the kids club, the different places she visited and the fact once she built up the courage to enter the kids club it was far better than being stuck with…
More Bodies Found on Costa Concordia
It is so sad to hear that not only have divers recovered another 8 bodies from the stricken Costa Concordia but that one of them was the body of 5 year old Dayana Arlotti. Loss of life in any circumstance is a terrible waste but to think of a young girl losing her life when…
Luxury Cruising
Yesterday I was truly inspired by #CruiseChat and decided it was only right today to touch on something I referred to as a little more “Couture” when it comes to cruising. For quite a lot of us when we think of a cruise we automatically envision a huge brilliant white ship, thousands of guests and…
Cruise Ship Chatter
What is our fascination with cruise ships? I mean we all enjoy a holiday and like to be away from the daily grind of life but why is cruising so addictive? As I have mentioned previously I took my first cruise in 2007 and since then it has consumed my entire being, it really is…
Travel Insurance
Yesterday was like any other Sunday, time to wind down a little bit and catch up on some of my favourite TV shows. That was until I got a phone call to say my godson had broken his arm. He had been playing in the local park when he fell and badly broke the bone…
