Taking a cruise for the first time can lead to all sorts of questions. I remember preparing for my first cruise, I really didn’t have any idea what to pack or what extra costs to take into consideration. I relied heavily on online guides and information and had it not been for those guides I…

Norwegian Getaway Day 2 And The Illusionarium
My second day aboard Norwegian Getaway was a slightly more leisurely one. I had the majority of the day to do as I pleased and for me that meant more exploring and more food! 😉 My first stop was an area I can only describe as a second atrium and what an atrium it was!…
Norwegian Getaway Day 1
Norwegian Getaway, where do I even begin? She was incredible! Every inch of her was stylish, interesting and in some areas full of adrenalin. She had everything you could ever want from a cruise ship whether you were travelling with family, friends or even on your own. I was completely in awe of this vessel…

A Girls Holiday
There’s nothing that can beat a girls holiday, ladies are you with me? We can shop, laugh, talk about things the men have no time for and just generally have a good time! It’s even better when it’s spent aboard a cruise ship though! I have been seeing the world with my friends for several…

I have come to know many wonderful…
My 2013 Cruising Best Bits
2013 was a year filled with travel for me and looking back I can’t quite believe just how many different places I was lucky enough to visit, how many ships I stepped aboard and everything else awesome in-between that came with it. I thought it would be nice to use today’s blog to look back…
Fire Aboard North Sea Ferry King Seaways
Reports came in last night about a fire aboard DFDS Seaways, King Seaways as she sailed her regular route from North Shields to Ijmuiden. My first thought lay with those onboard, you glimpse a headline regarding a ship being on fire and always fear the worst, then give the strong winds we are having in…
Looking Back At 2013
2013 has been a pretty intense year for cruising, We have had good, bad and just about everything else in-between that you could possibly imagine, but I wanted to pick a few things from the last 12-months of cruising that really stood out to me. The good, the bad and the awesome! These are my…
