A Visit To Oceania Nautica
On Tuesday I spent a good part of the day aboard Oceania Cruises Nautica during her time in Newcastle. My last visit to Port of Tyne was a complete washout, but for Nautica the sun shone brightly and there was barely a cloud in the sky – perfect ship visit weather! I explored as many…
A BBQ Fit For A Queen Aboard Saga Sapphire
I have mentioned the BBQ’s that we had aboard Saga Sapphire several times, and now it is FINALLY time to show you! My cruise aboard Saga Sapphire was my 30th ocean adventure, so it’s fair to say that I have seen quite a few deck BBQ’s in my time – the two below were by FAR…
Making The Most Of Your First Cruise Holiday
It’s finally happened – you’ve decided that you’ve spent enough time being herded around by Ryanair, you don’t want to spend another week in a complex full of rowdy kids and you’d like to see more than the dusty local market. So you did the right thing and booked a cruise. However, before you get…

She is quite a pretty little ship, even in the pouring rain she had a charm about her, and I braved the elements…
Carnival Vista Finds Her Voice In New Tour Video
Carnival Cruise Line’s newest, largest and most innovative ship, Carnival Vista finds her voice in a new tour video recently released by the cruise line. Narrated by the ship itself in a carefree wise-cracking female voice that mirrors Carnival Vista’s online social media persona, the video ranges from bird’s-eye overhead views of the vessel to…
Some Motion In The Ocean (Exactly The Kind You’re Thinking Of!)
I have posted so many images over the last several years, most of which have shown people enjoying the fun and games onboard, ships docked at beautiful sun-kissed islands, and some very colourful sunsets, but then I realised that those days when the sea has been a little lumpy and the sky a little grey have…
Is She The New National Anthem? – Anthem of the Seas Review
Anthem of the Seas – where do I even begin? I have just spent 2-nights aboard and I want to tell you everything! The rambling may kick-in, but stay with me! As soon as I boarded, I began exploring, I didn’t even take my case to my cabin – I just dragged it along behind…
