As my cruise adventures progress I am pulled between vessels, I just don’t know which one I really prefer anymore! Large, small, mid-sized – It’s all so stressful trying to decide. I’m sorry if today’s blog seems like a jumbled mess. I’m having one of those days where I have the thought, but I can’t…

My Favourite Cruise Ship Photographs
Over the last 6 years I have snapped so many images of cruise ships that I have completely lost count of how many I actually have! Although I can’t remember every single one, there are some I could never forget. I shared my History of Cruising with you in pictures several months ago, but this time…
For One Cruise Only The Entire Ship Is Yours
Imagine you could board your favourite cruise ship and just for one day have free run of everything! No other passengers to get in your way, just you and a hand full of essential crew members that would sit back and let you do anything your heart desired (aside from jump overboard) – what would…

If Only We Had Cruised Together
My Grandmother was a woman set in her ways, she liked her routine and rarely travelled. I remember as a child taking a family holiday to what was then known as Yugoslavia and I think that was her one and only time outside of the UK. If there’s one thing I wish I had been…
Cruise Ship Bad Manners
The time has come to once again go over the topic of cruise ship manners. Sometimes our fellow passengers frustrate us, I have blogged about it before. You always come across at least one person at some point that leaves you wishing there was an ejector button, or in the case of a cruise ship,…
Eavesway Travel Cruise Link Service
One of the most important things for me when it comes to cruising is how I actually get to the port of Southampton. I live more or less at the other end of the country so the cruise link service is vital, without it the only cruising I would be doing is down the River…
Cruise Ship Fun Facts Part 3
Her Majesty the Queen chartered Hebridean Princess for her own private holidays in 2006 and 2010. All ships within the Royal Caribbean International fleet have had names ending in “of the Seas” since 1991. The line’s first ship was Song of Norway and the first ship in the fleet to end in “of the Seas”…
Cruising On Your Own
Since I started cruising I have enjoyed three solo voyages, but only my last gave me a real taste of what solo cruising is all about. I suppose the fact I am not a typical individual cruiser always becomes a talking point with people and it could be why I can form such quick relationships….
MSC Cruises Allegrissimo Drinks Package
I have had so many people asking me about the drinks packages with MSC Cruises that I decided to do this blog earlier than planned. It is also slightly longer than usual as I took pictures of the pool bar menu for you all! I opted for the Allegrissimo package on my MSC Opera cruise…
