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…
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…

Cruise Ship S.O.S.
I have recently been reading a brilliant book titled Cruise Ship S.O.S. by Ben Macfarlane. It was recommended to me so out and bought it I went and I have not been able to put it down since. I won’t tell you too much in case you are also reading it or decide you might…
