100 Years ago today RMS Titanic had reached the spot where she would remain until this very day. After hitting an iceberg on April 14th and ultimately sinking in the early hours of April 15th she would secure her place in the history books forever. I know there are many people out there who are…
A Morning On-board MSC Lirica
Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting MSC Lirica whilst she was in Port of Tyne, it was my first time on board Lirica and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. Whilst heading from the main terminal to join her, the first thing I noticed was that her exterior was in very good…
Titanic Memorial Cruise Doomed
It seems as though Fred Olsen’s Balmoral should never have left Southampton for the Titanic Memorial Cruise. Her departure was delayed by several hours because of severe weather, it is even reported that a life-boat was on hand on the southern Irish coast to offer assistance, just in case, and now it seems she has…
RMS Titanic Facts
I am going to continue on with the Titanic theme today, sorry folks, I know some of you would rather I left the subject alone but I can’t help myself so just be patient with me until it passes. TV is bursting at the moment with drama’s and documentaries about the ill fated ocean liner…

Cruise Ship Safety

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…
Three Weeks and Counting
Today I think I’m suffering from writers block, yes ladies and gentleman believe it or not I am struggling to clearly focus on a topic, however, I think I may know why. I have exactly 21 days until my next cruise and I have done NOTHING as of yet in the way of packing, organising…
