Things we cannot stop ourselves from doing on a cruise. Some are plain silly, others are just embarrassing but do them we will, well, some of us will anyway!! 1: We can’t stop ourselves from modelling the lifejacket whilst someone else snaps a picture. This never gets old for some of us. 2: For some…

Are You Afraid Of The Dark
In yesterday’s blog I touched on the peace and tranquillity that can be had in certain areas of the ship, and especially of an evening. I wanted to touch on a topic today that in a way continues the notion of freedom on board but in a slightly different context. So here goes. It may…
Finding Me, Myself and I
For some when they think about a cruise they can often think, huge vessels, too many passengers all crammed in like sardine’s, trying desperately to escape on another and never finding a moments peace. I can honestly say in the several years I have been cruising now I have only ever once felt like I…
What NOT To Do On A Cruise Ship

That First Cruise Feeling
I was told on the day I boarded for my first cruise voyage that it would be something I would never forget and that the ship would also hold a place in my heart forever, I laughed and smiled thinking “ok this lady is crazy, it’s a ship”, but I soon realised every word she…
Meet My Fellow Passengers
On almost every cruise you will come across at least one of the people I am about to mention. Whether it is a summer holiday cruise full of families with a more laid back atmosphere or a cruise slightly later in the season which may have an older clientele, you will meet one of them…
The Tender Port
For some people the idea of a tender port can be quite daunting but for me it’s all part of the enjoyment of the cruise. One of my friends experienced her first tender port on our cruise in July last year and to say she wasn’t very impressed is an understatement. She wanted to get…
