Private Roatan on The Wild Side

I think the name of this excursion says it all really and I have to admit I am really excited for this one! My friend and I did have a half figured out plan as to what we would do whilst we were here but nothing was set in stone. It kind of consisted of…

The Bridge – Part Two

My second visit to the bridge was very different from my first. Aside from the view being very different the atmosphere was too! This time the bridge was just about empty, it was a simple case of two officers keeping watch and that was about it, until we arrived! It was very relaxed, and it…

The Bridge – Part One

A visit to the bridge is something every avid cruiser longs for, a chance to really get to see the vessel for what she is. I don’t feel I need to “introduce” this post really, the title says it all…..………. We were met by an officer on the forward passenger stairwell and escorted along the…

Travel Makes You Richer

I recently came across a quote on twitter and it read “Travel is the only thing you can buy, that makes you richer” and I really do believe not a truer word was spoken. For me travel is not just a chance to escape what can be the doom and gloom of UK weather, it’s…

St Lucia Aerial Tram

I recently booked another excursion for my upcoming Caribbean cruise, an aerial tram ride above the rainforest in St Lucia. How amazing does that sound?!

Well, usually it’s a crisp white, Egyptian cotton, gazillion thread count, most comfortable place on earth and it…

Christmas On A Cruise Ship

I know there are many people that love nothing more than to escape at Christmas time and a cruise is becoming more and more popular as a Christmas holiday option but, believe it or not I’m not sure if it is something I would want to do myself. As much as I love to cruise…

Cruise Reunion Nights

We’ve all had slide or DVD nights with our pals to relive our cruises, but how many of you have faithfully recreated the ships buffet for your evening?! Well, my obsession is such that I successfully recreated Independence of the Seas’ Windjammer buffet when we got together with friends to share our cruise pictures last…

Cruise Memories and Mementos

We all love reliving our cherished cruising memories and it got me wondering whether I’m alone in the lengths I go to preserve my wonderful cruising moments and recreate the feelings they evoke. I am, as anyone who has read my guest blogs here knows, a self confessed cruise-a-holic and have become quite obsessed with…

Top 10 Craziest Cruise Complaints

From CruiseCompare comes the Top 10 Craziest Cruise Complaints. I know I have definitely heard one or two of these same things whilst on a cruise! What crazy things have you heard whilst onboard? I know one of my favourites has to be “how do I know which picture is mine”…….I would guess it could be…
