A Secret Cruise Convert

There’s nothing better than a cruise convert but the best cruise converts are the ones who spend the entire duration of their first cruise expressing to you daily their displeasure at their chosen holiday, only to inform you several months after you returned home that they have gone and booked another one! I really do…

It is official; work has now begun on P&O Cruises newest ship which will also be the largest ever built for the British market. Yesterday the steel-cutting ceremony was held at the Monfalcone shipyard of Fincantieri near Trieste, Italy.

A Cruise is Never Boring

If there’s one thing I always look forward to about a cruise it’s the unexpected. I don’t think I have ever taken a cruise where something interesting or a little unusual didn’t happen. It’s difficult to an extent to try and explain this to you fully because to be honest I don’t really know how…

Top 5 Cruise Ship Towel Animals

Towel animals have been associated with cruising for as long as I can remember; I don’t think we ever out grow them to be honest. Even now, 28 years old, I still find it nice to return to my cabin and find a new and wonderful creation waiting for me. Some people love them some…

Cruise Ship Cabins

Regardless which ship you sail on, whether you go to Alaska or Australia, one thing we all need whilst onboard is a cabin or stateroom, as they are also known. You have quite a few choices when it comes to onboard accommodation. You can opt for the comfort of an inside cabin, this is the…

Cruise Ships in The Caribbean

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post I am mid way through planning a 35 night Caribbean cruise which leaves next January. My friend and I are making good head way on what to do whilst we are ashore but it was inevitable I would also see which other ships would be in. If I am…

92 Days Until The Caribbean Adventure

My next cruise is booked, and if I said I was excited that would be a complete lie because I’m not, not even a tiny bit……OK OK I am LYING!!! I absolutely cannot wait. This cruise will be a 35-night round-trip Caribbean adventure from Southampton. Quite possibly the cruise and travel experience of a lifetime….

Something A Little Extra

There are probably a thousand things I could think of that cruise ships don’t have that they should. I’m not talking about anything big and extravagant I mean simple things that could actually enhance a guests experience or just make some things a little easier. As an example, some ports of call offer some pretty…

Cruise Ship Spotting

I am a self confessed cruise ship geek, I tell the world about it almost on a daily basis, I am not ashamed of it and I am quite proud of my ability to spot a ship a mile away and tell you exactly which one it is. (Without binoculars I may add!) Each cruise…

Travel Travel and More Travel

I’m not entirely sure where my travel passion came from. I have been fortunate enough to experience a holiday just about every year since I was a toddler (obviously I can’t remember them all but my mother assures me that she took me!) however, it has only been the last 24 months I would say…
