Ahhh Cozumel! The day that we had planned as a beach day and what happened, the Carnival Legend pulled up next door and it started raining! OK I can’t blame the Legend as it only rained briefly and it was still so muggy and warm it felt like you could barely breathe. We made our…

Caribbean Cruise Roatan
Roatan was the island I had been looking forward to the most so obviously it would rain torrentially for most of the day wouldn’t it but, that did not stop us enjoying our day. Before we left the UK I had booked a trip through the Shore Excursions Group who are based in Florida. It…
Madeira Cable Car
Well, I am back in the UK…….those five weeks went over a lot faster than I thought they would and I am already having cruise blues. As you know I blogged live from the ship but really, there was so much more I could have told you about each place so I decided I would…

Haifa Israel
I visited Haifa in November of last year, my first visit to this country and we were there for 2 days. The call was supposed to include Ashdod but it was cancelled before we even left for the cruise so instead it was a sleep over in Haifa. I remember not knowing what to expect…

Cruise Memories and Mementos
We all love reliving our cherished cruising memories and it got me wondering whether I’m alone in the lengths I go to preserve my wonderful cruising moments and recreate the feelings they evoke. I am, as anyone who has read my guest blogs here knows, a self confessed cruise-a-holic and have become quite obsessed with…
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…
Cruise Ships Are Calling
As much as I wish I had been on every cruise ship on the planet I am sorry to say I haven’t, it’s still very much a work in progress. There are some ships I am really looking forward to trying but for specific facilities or features, I would love to cruise on them of…
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,…
