This time on Tuesday I shall be in Southampton, a hopefully sunny Southampton (keep your fingers crossed!) either on board or just about to board P&O Cruises Ventura. This cruise will definitely be a little different from what I am used too but I am secretly looking forward to having a cabin all to myself,…
Cruising Is An Education Too
A cruise is many things. Of course it is a holiday, a time to relax and re-charge your batteries. The opportunity to do nothing at all if you wish or to be a complete adrenalin junkie and do everything you possibly can. For me though cruising has also been a bit of an education. Before…
Top 10 Cruising Essentials
When we pack for our cruise adventures we leave home sometimes with the entire contents of our lives packed into our ever expanding suitcases, I think the only thing I leave behind quite literally is the kitchen sink. We always pack far too much, don’t say you don’t because you know and I know you…
The Authentic Cunard Cruise Line
I sometimes do wish we could go back in time and experience “pleasure liners” from yesteryear.

Cruise Photography

Whether it be one built into your mobile telephone, a small digital camera or a larger more professional camera, either way we are rarely caught without one. For me, cruising and photography go hand in…

We all know trying something for the first time regardless of what it is can often be a little daunting. How do you know you are getting the right answers when you have nothing to compare it too? Well, as I have cruised a fair few times now I thought I was pretty well qualified…
Virtual Cruising
The recent blog about being a cruise addict, along with the one for the excellent Ship Mate apps got me thinking about e-Cruising – or should that be i-Cruising or maybe even Virtual Cruising? There are a multitude of websites out there for cruise enthusiasts and not all of them are going to cost you…
