New Cruise Ships On Order

We have enjoyed the arrival of some fantastic vessels this year, Norwegian Breakaway, Royal Princess and Europa 2 just to name a few, but what’s next on the cruise ship calendar? It’s time to once again take a peek at what’s currently under construction, we have some amazing ship’s to look forward too! Costa Diadema…

It’s A Cruise Ship Life

I came across some content a little while ago that is aimed towards crew members. It’s from the “Working on Cruise Ships” Facebook page, but the more I read, the more I found things that passengers could also relate too. I have noted some of them down for you as they made me laugh and…

Life After A Cruise Is Rubbish, We All Feel It!

Have you ever noticed that after a cruise, especially if it is a long one, you struggle to get back into the simple things we do day in day out in life? Like making the bed, such a chore to do again when someone has done it for you for several weeks yet you managed…

Monte Carlo And Eze

Yesterday we spent the day in good old Monaco. This was in fact my fifth visit to Monte Carlo and before leaving for the cruise I decided it would be nice to do a tour here this time and take in a little more of what this beautiful and very rich port has to offer….

Tomorrow Tomorrow Ventura Tomorrow, It’s Only A Day Away!

First and foremost my sincere apologies for the title of today’s blog, I was kind of “in the moment” and just couldn’t help myself! Anyway, here’s the reading bit…………….. Tomorrow is the big day! Finally I shall find myself back on board P&O Cruises, Ventura. It’s been 11 months since I was last on board…

It’s Almost Time For P&O Cruises Ventura

Well there are just 5 more days to go before I join P&O Cruises, Ventura for a 2 week Mediterranean cruise, and after all the sun we have been having in the UK, I can’t wait! (Slogan pun not intended but pretty hard to avoid) The good weather at home always makes me think more…

Disconnect From The World And Reconnect With You

One thing I will always enjoy about cruising is the limited connection to the outside world. I actually hope technology does not become advanced to a point where the internet on board can be free and accessible 24 hours a day. I know we can currently access the internet on board easily to an extent,…

Counting Down To Ventura And The Mediterranean

It’s that time of year again, summer is almost upon us and so come the thoughts of some fun in the sun for 2 weeks. I have visited the Mediterranean on a cruise several times but I never tire of it. I love the atmosphere in countries like Italy and Spain during the summer months…

On Board Communication

Thanks to the wonderful world of technology it is incredibly easy for us to keep connected with family and friends back home, whilst we cruise. Our mobile telephones can pick up the MCP signal whilst we are at sea, there is the option of on board Wi-Fi and if they happened to fail you can…

A Simple Evening At Sea

We were sailing through the Mediterranean Sea, the sun was just starting to set and I had the entire deck to myself. This is the life, I thought. Nothing but ocean for miles around, no noise and nothing spoiling the view. It’s a feeling that never gets old. On this particular evening it was warm…
