I recently booked another excursion for my upcoming Caribbean cruise, an aerial tram ride above the rainforest in St Lucia. How amazing does that sound?! When I first came across this excursion I was not immediately blown away by it, I had actually been locked onto the zip-line option but the more I looked at…

Jamaica Jeep Safari
I booked one of our cruise excursions earlier, a 4×4 Jeep Safari in Jamaica. It was a pretty instantaneous decision. As soon as my friend and I read the information we were decided, we had to do it! This is what it read: The best way to see the island of Jamaica is by 4×4. Experience…
P&O Cruises 175 Years of Heritage
A few days ago I watched the “P&O Cruises, Celebrating 175 Years of Heritage” DVD and it really was very interesting. The company has such a rich and deep history, a history that is still to this day portrayed onboard just in a way that is slightly more in keeping with modern times. Aside from…
Caribbean Port Planning
So my friend and I have been planning what to do on our upcoming cruise. Usually I don’t plan a lot to be honest, I just go with the flow when I get there unless there is something I really want to see, for example I really wanted to see the leaning Tower of Pisa,…

Fjords Cruise A Final Day On-Board
By morning the sea and wind had abated somewhat but the day started grey with drizzle in the air. A final breakfast in the Waterside would also be our discovery that fresh omelette’s were available along with pancakes and other goodies. Oh well, something to be tried another time maybe! A leisurely morning ensued and…
Fjords Cruise A Day On Board
Stepping out onto the balcony we were greeted this morning with a much more cosmopolitan city-scape that was Bergen. The weather was noticeably colder and again unfortunately grey and wet. We later learned that Bergen proclaims to be the wettest place in Europe and it was certainly living up to that title! We were docked…
