Hello from Amsterdam!! Yesterday was the start of another exciting adventure but this time with a twist. There is a cruise involved but I actually started my journey aboard DFDS Seaways, Princess Seaways. She sailed me overnight to Amsterdam where I am staying until tomorrow morning. I checked-in at 3.30pm and was soon on board…

MSC Magnifica Awaits
On Monday I am heading to Amsterdam where I am spending a day before joining MSC Cruises, MSC Magnifica, for a 3 night cruise to Hamburg and Helgoland, both in Germany. I have never been to Amsterdam or Germany before so I am looking forward to exploring some lands previously un-discovered by my little feet….

Following last week’s announcement that the world’s largest cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas, would embark on its first ever European season and transatlantic sailing out of a UK port of call, thousands of holiday hungry Brits have pre-registered their interest to be first in the queue to make a booking when it makes its…
Port Planning With A Difference

Sleeping Under The Stars
If there is one thing that I wish we could do now and then on board its sleep literally under the stars. Now I know logistically this is not possible for every single passenger to do but wouldn’t it be nice to have the option now and then? Imagine a hot summers evening whilst cruising…
The Perfect Lido Deck
During one of our recent twitter #CruiseChat hours the topic of discussion was cruise ship lido decks and what would essentially make your Lido deck perfect. There were some good responses from people involved when it came to the question ‘if you could re-name the Lido deck then what would you call it’. Answers included…
Bird’s Eye Cruise Ship View
We spend hours looking through pictures of cruise ships, I do anyway! Not only my own but those that have filled cruise websites on the internet. They are the usual holiday snaps are funny pictures where someone is trying to eat the ship, or something along those crazy lines. I love these types of pictures,…
The Deck Chairs Strike Again
I can honestly say with hand on my heart that I am not a taker of the mick when it comes to sun loungers. The longest I ever leave the lounger for is 30 minutes and it’s usually to either grab something to eat or simply give my legs some exercise for a moment. Sun…
