ShipMate Cruise App

I recently changed from a Blackberry to a Samsung Android phone and obviously the first app I searched for was one relating to cruise ships. Well, imagine my delight when I found several. I have to say one of my favourite ones is the ShipMate app. I say favourite one, there are actually quite a…

Four Weeks Until The Grand Event Cruise

There are exactly 4 weeks to go now until my next cruise and the excitement is definitely starting to build. As it is part of the P&O Cruises Grand Event, which is going to be spectacular (I hope) I can’t quite decide if I am more excited for the cruise or the Southampton sail away….

P&O Cruises Arcadia Ship Visit

Today’s blog post comes courtesy of Scott, our newest guest blogger. This is his first piece for the CruiseMiss blog and I am sure you will all agree it could not have been a better one!

Barcelona, Spain – Day 8

Today was our final port of call, finally the sun was shining and it was and hot day in Barcelona. We woke early in order to get off more or less as soon as the ship had docked; today was the day I wanted to get off and then back to soak up some sun….

Day at Sea Then Buongiorno Italia – Day 5/6

Day 5 was a wonderful and SUNNY sea day! It was also the day when the upper half of my body would turn a nice burned red colour……ahhhh, no cruise would be complete without sunburn and so the fun began. Today was also the day of the infamous passengers Vs crew pool activities, always a…

Bon Voyage

This time tomorrow I shall be on board P&O Cruises Oceana as we get ready to set sail on a 12-night Mediterranean adventure. I guess that means today I really need to screw my head on and get organised. I haven’t been quite as organised as usual this time round, why, I have no idea…
