It’s A Cruise Ship Life

I came across some content a little while ago that is aimed towards crew members. It’s from the “Working on Cruise Ships” Facebook page, but the more I read, the more I found things that passengers could also relate too. I have noted some of them down for you as they made me laugh and…

Carnival Sunshine Is Reborn

Carnival Cruise Line’s, Carnival Sunshine, recently returned from her first sailing since her $155 million refurbishment and although not all passenger reviews were full of sunshine (pardon the pun) the overall reaction seems to be very positive. She did however experience some teething issues, her WaterWorks water park and SportsSquare recreational area were still undergoing…

Cruise Ships Galore

My most recent Caribbean cruise allowed me to visit some pretty beautiful islands and of course it was definitely a holiday I will remember, but it’s not just about the islands now is it……the other ships we pass on our travels are just as important as the stops we make….well for some of us anyway!…

Well, you guessed it! There were more strange happenings on Oceana and…

Caribbean Cruise St Maarten/ Sint Maarten

St Maarten sadly was our last Caribbean port of call but it ended with some fabulous weather! Our plan here had been to visit Maho Beach (also known as Airplane Beach) but our previous evening had actually gone on until 3.45 that morning so Maho had moved to the back of our minds slightly. We…

Caribbean Cruise Tortola

What a really pretty place this is, that was my reaction to Tortola. The sky was a little overcast but it still was very humid and you could just see the sun trying to escape through the clouds. Today we would embark on the Best of Tortola excursion and I couldn’t wait, I had been…

Caribbean Cruise Jamaica

In the words of Damian Marley, welcome to Jamrock! And what a warm welcome it was! When I first booked the cruise and told people our ports of call I kept hearing the same things over and over again about Jamaica. It’s not safe, don’t go anywhere unless you are in a group, try to…

Caribbean Cruise Cozumel

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…
