Our Panama Canal day actually started in the middle of the night. We knew if we wanted a prime spot we had to more or less camp for it, so that’s exactly what we did….sort of. We awoke before the sunrise and made our way forward on deck 14 at roughly 5am. I had expected…

Caribbean Cruise Aruba
We arrived in Aruba after a day at sea so I think everyone was feeling a little more recharged and ready to explore once again. The cruise port was a hive of activity as there were 5 ships in port including us so it was a little crazy for a few minutes trying to navigate…
Caribbean Cruise Grenada
Port 4 was Grenada, our last port before a now well needed sea day. I love port days but we all need a day off every now and then to just do nothing. Today we were going to spend the day at Grand Anse beach. We had heard so many great things about this beach…
Caribbean Cruise Barbados
Our third island was Barbados. The sun was shining, the temperature was increasing nicely and Celebrity Summit had also joined us in port for the day. Barbados was one of the ports we did not really have anything planned for. We had assumed we didn’t really need to do much work on this one before…
Caribbean Cruise St Lucia
St Lucia was our second Caribbean port and it gave off a very pretty first impression. Lots of hills and greenery and a few other nice ships in port to look at too, what more could you want!? Here we had booked the Aerial Tram excursion, I couldn’t wait, and even though I had been…
Caribbean Cruise Antigua
Antigua was our first Caribbean island and my first taste of what the Caribbean was really like. I think of all the islands we visited this was the perfect first choice and is still my favourite. We arrived next to Ryndam and Seven Seas Navigator and to the sound of a wonderful steel band playing…
Leaving The Caribbean
Hello from the Atlantic Ocean! It’s not quite as exciting this time around though as we are now heading back towards the cold of the UK. Since my last blog we have been more or less all over the Caribbean. We enjoyed a partial transit of the Panama Canal which was fantastic. We went through…
Barbados, Grenada and Aruba
Since my last blog we have visited Barbados, Grenada and Aruba and are now en-route towards the Panama Canal. We also done the back of house tour which was brilliant but before I get to that let me just talk a little bit about our ports. I can’t quite put my finger on why but…
Finally in The Caribbean
Well it’s been quite a few days since we last spoke. Since my last blog we have called to Antigua and today we are in St Lucia. Antigua was wonderful, the vibe there was amazing, the kind of holiday vibe I enjoy. Everyone is taking it easy, nothing is too much trouble and everything is…
Crossing The Atlantic
Today marks the start of our transatlantic crossing. We have another 4 days ahead of us until we reach the Caribbean and the best part about those days, we have to gain a few extra hours over the course of them which means extra sleep 😉 Our paper told us yesterday that today would be…
