A Secret Cruise Convert

There’s nothing better than a cruise convert but the best cruise converts are the ones who spend the entire duration of their first cruise expressing to you daily their displeasure at their chosen holiday, only to inform you several months after you returned home that they have gone and booked another one! I really do…

A Cruise is Never Boring

If there’s one thing I always look forward to about a cruise it’s the unexpected. I don’t think I have ever taken a cruise where something interesting or a little unusual didn’t happen. It’s difficult to an extent to try and explain this to you fully because to be honest I don’t really know how…

Top 5 Cruise Ship Towel Animals

Towel animals have been associated with cruising for as long as I can remember; I don’t think we ever out grow them to be honest. Even now, 28 years old, I still find it nice to return to my cabin and find a new and wonderful creation waiting for me. Some people love them some…

Cruise Ship Cabins

Regardless which ship you sail on, whether you go to Alaska or Australia, one thing we all need whilst onboard is a cabin or stateroom, as they are also known. You have quite a few choices when it comes to onboard accommodation. You can opt for the comfort of an inside cabin, this is the…

Something A Little Extra

Travel Travel and More Travel

I’m not entirely sure where my travel passion came from. I have been fortunate enough to experience a holiday just about every year since I was a toddler (obviously I can’t remember them all but my mother assures me that she took me!) however, it has only been the last 24 months I would say…

Will I Get Seasick

The short answer………….NO! It may not be the most pleasant thing in the world to discuss but when it comes to a cruise it for many people can be a big part of pre-cruise worry and stress whilst onboard. Not everyone gets or will get seasick but the more you think about it the more…

Cruising and Music

Cruising and music go hand in hand. Maybe not quite as loved up as cruising and food but they still have a pretty strong bond. There are many music cruises available now too, with P&O Cruises Music Festivals at sea, The music infused Blue Man Group onboard Norwegian Epic and even the Rock Cruises that…

Picky Eaters

When it comes to cruising one of the biggest factors always has been and always will be FOOD. We are tempted  by dishes with names we can only ever hope to pronounce correctly and would never even attempt to try and spell. They flash high gloss images through the pages of the brochures, just to…
