Private Roatan on The Wild Side
I think the name of this excursion says it all really and I have to admit I am really excited for this one! My friend and I did have a half figured out plan as to what we would do whilst we were here but nothing was set in stone. It kind of consisted of…
The Bridge – Part Two
My second visit to the bridge was very different from my first. Aside from the view being very different the atmosphere was too! This time the bridge was just about empty, it was a simple case of two officers keeping watch and that was about it, until we arrived! It was very relaxed, and it…
The Bridge – Part One

Well, usually it’s a crisp white, Egyptian cotton, gazillion thread count, most comfortable place on earth and it…
Christmas On A Cruise Ship
I know there are many people that love nothing more than to escape at Christmas time and a cruise is becoming more and more popular as a Christmas holiday option but, believe it or not I’m not sure if it is something I would want to do myself. As much as I love to cruise…
Cruise Reunion Nights
We’ve all had slide or DVD nights with our pals to relive our cruises, but how many of you have faithfully recreated the ships buffet for your evening?! Well, my obsession is such that I successfully recreated Independence of the Seas’ Windjammer buffet when we got together with friends to share our cruise pictures last…
