A Cabin Dilemma

I am starting to get quite concerned about my upcoming cruise, well not the cruise exactly more like the size of the cabin and the fact it is a five week cruise. Usually I am more than content with my onboard space however last November my friend and I embarked on a 24 night cruise,…

Nachi Cocom Beach Club Cozumel

As I mentioned yesterday my friend and I have booked our first shore excursion for our Caribbean cruise. It’s our first booked with the cruise line but we do already have one other day arranged that we will be doing on our own. Nachi Cocom Beach Resort in Cozumel, Mexico. It comes highly recommended and…

Jamaica Jeep Safari

I booked one of our cruise excursions earlier, a 4×4 Jeep Safari in Jamaica. It was a pretty instantaneous decision. As soon as my friend and I read the information we were decided, we had to do it! This is what it read: The best way to see the island of Jamaica is by 4×4. Experience…

On my most recent cruise I travelled alone, well, sometimes. See, I booked the cruise for myself but had arranged to meet friends onboard who were also doing the same cruise.

Caribbean Port Planning

So my friend and I have been planning what to do on our upcoming cruise. Usually I don’t plan a lot to be honest, I just go with the flow when I get there unless there is something I really want to see, for example I really wanted to see the leaning Tower of Pisa,…

Cruise Ship Engineering

In a previous blog post (Learning About Your Cruise Ship) I touched on things like Azipods, Ballast Tanks and even commented on some phrases you may hear used whilst onboard. In today’s blog however I wanted to take it a little further into how your ship actually works and what goes on behind the scenes….

New Cruise Ships Are Coming

With cruising becoming more and more popular it obviously creates demand for more ships. In the last few years there have been many additional ships added to the cruise market. Some have been small and contemporary where as others have been huge and world record breakers. So with that said maybe we should have a…

MSC Lirica Cruise Ship Visit

Well, I have not long left MSC Lirica, my second visit to this ship and once again she did not disappoint. This visit was far better than the last, we had longer to explore the ship which meant seeing places that were missed previously as well as also having the chance to see three different…
