Yesterday began at 4.45am, an early start but for a good reason! My friend and I were off to Greenock in Scotland to Visit Cunard Line’s, Queen Mary 2. First of all what a beautiful scenic drive once passed Glasgow City Centre. I have never seen such a stunning backdrop. We could see the ship…

Quantum Of The Seas Cruise Ship Innovation
Royal Caribbean released details last month of their new ‘super’ ship Quantum of the Seas, which will arrive in the autumn of 2014 and be followed in 2015 by sister ship, Anthem of the Seas. The cruise line promised innovations never before seen on a cruise ship and judging by what we now know I…
Cruise Ship Stowaway
There are numerous creatures, great and small, that land on our cruise ships as we sail the seven seas. In my time I have come across quite a few different stowaways in all shapes and sizes and some were enough to make your toes curl! The most common for us all is the pigeon, I…

The idea behind it is to showcase recent upgrades to the lines two flag-ships, Thomson Dream and Thomson Celebration, but it is how they have actually gone about doing this that stands out. The concept…
Living Aboard The World
I often wonder what it must be like to live on a cruise ship. Not in the sense that you are crew and ‘live’ on board for the term of your contract or you are on a world cruise, I mean to ACTUALLY live on board. Launched in 2002 and at 644 feet The World…
Shore Excursion Gone Wrong
With today’s blog comes my request to you that, when on organised excursions, just make a mental note of those sitting around you so that if the guide were to miss-count you can shout out that someone is missing. Had someone done that for my friend her day may have been very different. In 2008…
MSC Magnifica Balcony Cabin
Today I want to share with you my MSC Magnifica cabin, that’s it! Nothing else, just the cabin! I found myself on Deck 12, PortoVenere deck and in cabin number 12062 on the ship’s Starboard side. I walked through the door and thought to myself, this is all for ME? Oh why thank you, MSC…
