Life On Board
Today see’s Amanda joining the CruiseMiss Blog as a guest blogger. Sharing her stories with us all from her experiences as a crew member for both Carnival and Cunard. Nothing can ever prepare you for what life on board a cruise ship is like – it certainly isn’t a holiday and a fortnight drinking cocktails…
The Necessary Evil of Packing
The time has come again when I need to start thinking about organising for my next cruise. Although it is still roughly 10 weeks away I always end up telling myself I have more than enough time and before I know it the day arrives. Every time I prepare I go through the same stresses…

My attention really is captured when I hear stories of ships from days gone by like RMS Olympic, RMS Titanic, RMS Mauretania and RMS Queen Mary. Looking back at old footage and library images these ships look so big and…
Sinking of Costa Concordia
So last night Channel 4 aired a documentary about the recent sinking of the Costa Concordia and tried to explain to us the viewers just how it sank. Although not something you can sit and shout about it was a very interesting programme and the footage really did bring home how terrible of…
