When it comes to cruising or anything related to ships for that matter I simply cannot help myself. I love anything and everything nautical themed or maritime related from shopper bags to socks if I see it I have to have it. Some of my friends would call me “sad” for this but do I…

Mother Nature
Let us take a minute and think of a cruise holiday……….I bet you are thinking of clear deep blue glistening oceans and a beaming hot happy sunshine, am I right? Well, I am thinking of those things too but I am also wondering (or maybe secretly hoping) that the Bay of Biscay crossing will be…
Cruising For Kids Part Two
Obviously, the whole point of a cruise is to go to different countries and experience different things. My favourite place out of all the different places that we went to is Pisa because we went on an excursion to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I was truly stunned by the size of the tower and…
Cruising For Kids Part One
Today i want to introduce to you Abigail, my younger sister. In 2010 I took Abigail on her first cruise and she fell in love with it. I thought having her write a blog on her own experiences might be good for those of you who are maybe thinking of cruising with kids for the first…

Cruising: The Not So Great Bits

P&O Cruises Oriana
So I came across a great little video this morning about the refit of P&O Cruises Oriana and I had to share it with you all. My first cruise was on board Oriana and they always say the first ship you sail on will stick with you and she really has. I am still a…
Cruising & Kids
One of the biggest things parents look into when booking a cruise whether it be their fifth or first is on board facilities for their children and let me tell you, the facilities on board are far better than any kids club you will find on a land based holiday. My sister was 12 when…
Typical Spa Work Day
Forget a lie in when you work on a cruise ship as there is no such thing! The spa and salon is a hive of activity from the minute guests embark wanting to book their treatments until the first guest turns up for their early morning treatment or gym work out! A day at sea…
