Caribbean Cruise St Lucia

St Lucia was our second Caribbean port and it gave off a very pretty first impression. Lots of hills and greenery and a few other nice ships in port to look at too, what more could you want!? Here we had booked the Aerial Tram excursion, I couldn’t wait, and even though I had been…

Caribbean Cruise Antigua

Antigua was our first Caribbean island and my first taste of what the Caribbean was really like. I think of all the islands we visited this was the perfect first choice and is still my favourite. We arrived next to Ryndam and Seven Seas Navigator and to the sound of a wonderful steel band playing…

Madeira Cable Car

Well, I am back in the UK…….those five weeks went over a lot faster than I thought they would and I am already having cruise blues. As you know I blogged live from the ship but really, there was so much more I could have told you about each place so I decided I would…

The Panama Canal

It is often said that a Panama Canal transit is the Holy Grail of cruising and even with just a quick glance at pictures of this engineering marvel online it is clear to see why! When I took my first cruise in 2007 I had heard about the Canal but was not too familiar with…

Haifa Israel

I visited Haifa in November of last year, my first visit to this country and we were there for 2 days. The call was supposed to include Ashdod but it was cancelled before we even left for the cruise so instead it was a sleep over in Haifa. I remember not knowing what to expect…

Caribbean Beaches

I can’t quite decide what I am most looking forward too about my next cruise but if there is one thing I know I can’t wait for its crisp white sandy beaches with crystal clear waters! I suppose being a cruise addict it was obvious that would be quite high on my list. Today I…

Best of Tortola

So our fourth and final excursion is now booked. Crazy really considering we had agreed not to do any and now we are doing four, what can I say, typical females but excursion shopping is so much fun! The excursion is aptly named “Best of Tortola” and to be honest I think the title suits…

Private Roatan on The Wild Side

I think the name of this excursion says it all really and I have to admit I am really excited for this one! My friend and I did have a half figured out plan as to what we would do whilst we were here but nothing was set in stone. It kind of consisted of…

Travel Makes You Richer

I recently came across a quote on twitter and it read “Travel is the only thing you can buy, that makes you richer” and I really do believe not a truer word was spoken. For me travel is not just a chance to escape what can be the doom and gloom of UK weather, it’s…

St Lucia Aerial Tram

I recently booked another excursion for my upcoming Caribbean cruise, an aerial tram ride above the rainforest in St Lucia. How amazing does that sound?! When I first came across this excursion I was not immediately blown away by it, I had actually been locked onto the zip-line option but the more I looked at…
