World Circumnavigation, those two words together send thousands of images shooting through my mind all at the same time. It’s like a race across the globe in a split second without even leaving my chair. For me a world cruise will be the ultimate experience, it’s my life’s goal I suppose you could say. I…

Cruise Ship Stowaway
There are numerous creatures, great and small, that land on our cruise ships as we sail the seven seas. In my time I have come across quite a few different stowaways in all shapes and sizes and some were enough to make your toes curl! The most common for us all is the pigeon, I…
Free Runners Invade Cruise Ship
Yesterday I came across a video on the Cruise Critic website by Thomson Cruises, and what a video it was! The idea behind it is to showcase recent upgrades to the lines two flag-ships, Thomson Dream and Thomson Celebration, but it is how they have actually gone about doing this that stands out. The concept…
Living Aboard The World
I often wonder what it must be like to live on a cruise ship. Not in the sense that you are crew and ‘live’ on board for the term of your contract or you are on a world cruise, I mean to ACTUALLY live on board. Launched in 2002 and at 644 feet The World…
Shore Excursion Gone Wrong
With today’s blog comes my request to you that, when on organised excursions, just make a mental note of those sitting around you so that if the guide were to miss-count you can shout out that someone is missing. Had someone done that for my friend her day may have been very different. In 2008…
Staying Safe Ashore
When it comes to staying safe ashore most challenging situations are often averted by using basic common sense. No matter where you go in the world sadly, there is crime to a degree and we must all remain vigilant even in the most stunning and peaceful of destinations. As cruise passengers we are already at…
Cruising With Food Intolerances
Today I would like to welcome guest blogger Cruise-Dude to the CruiseMiss blog. I came across an article on his site recently that focussed on the topic of food allergies and food intolerances. I found it to be very informative and as I suffer with food intolerances myself, I asked if he would like to guest…
Hurtigruten MS Fram
Yesterday I enjoyed the hospitality of Hurtigruten ship, MS Fram, whilst she was docked in Port of Tyne. That was once I found her of course. I knew she was small but as we drove towards the terminal I couldn’t see anything that resembled a ship. Finally she peeked out from behind the apartment building…
Carnival Triumph The Unluckiest Ship At Sea
What is it with this cruise ship? She has been all over the news in recent months and not for the right reasons. Aside from Carnival Cruise Lines having some clear issues across numerous members of their fleet lately, I feel like the Carnival Triumph is being tested by the gods themselves! So let’s re-cap!…
Muster Drill Pick Up Lines
During last night’s weekly #CruiseChat on Twitter we were discussing solo cruising. It was quite a coincidence then that my blog yesterday was also about solo cruising. Once we moved away from the chat itself a new hashtag was created, #MusterDrillPickUps, a sort of side line tag where we could add quirky and stupid pick-up…
