A Blast From Cruise Ship’s Past

Today is a very special photograph blog, a blast from the cruise ship past. Some cruise ships have been sold many times, often found themselves with many names. We take a look at just some of them that have been sold and re-named over the years. Some have been re-named many times, for example what…

Cruise Ship Focus: Disney Wonder

Today’s blog is all about Disney Cruise Line’s, Disney Wonder. Quite possibly one of the best family friendly cruise ships out there, so, if a family holiday is what you are looking for then check out this 83,000 GT floating dreamland. The Disney Wonder first entered service in 1999 and has proved to be a…

Haunted Cruise Ships

When it comes to hauntings and spooky goings on I always keep an open mind, ok that’s a bare faced lie I don’t. If I hear anything go bump in the night I automatically think it is a visit from the other side and start to panic. It got me thinking though after watching Ghost…

A Love Affair With Royal Caribbean

They say biggest isn’t always best, but for me, when it comes to cruise ships, I think I am of the opinion that, actually, it is. In my relatively short cruising history I admit I have only cruised on one ship. It is no coincidence then that she happens to be one of the biggest,…

Save The SS United States

 I was approached recently via the CruiseMiss facebook page regarding helping to spread the word about the SS United States and the need for people just like you to help save her.

Grand Event Cruise – Last Day and Disembarkation

Well, today was it, our very last day onboard Ventura and boy was I feeling the cruise blues already. I have to say this had been probably the best cruise in many ways I have ever experienced. The weather had been perfect, the ports wonderful and even better where the friendships both old and new…

Grand Event Cruise – Vigo

Today we found ourselves in Vigo, Spain, and it was to be our last port of call. Vigo again was a place I had visited many times before however, this time, it seemed a little different. Our captain announced that a lot of money had been spent regenerating the port here and I could actually…

Grand Event Cruise – Lisbon

Today we awoke to find ourselves in Portugal, well, most passengers did, I awoke to find us still on our way. I couldn’t sleep; I kept tossing and turning all night. Eventually I put the TV on in my cabin and hit channel 9 so I could see the webcam. To my delight I was…

Grand Event Cruise – Palma de Mallorca

Another port, another glorious sunny day. Welcome to Palma, one of the most popular destinations in the Balearic Islands for British holiday makers. This was my 4th visit here by cruise ship but previously I have had many a land based holiday here and in the nearby towns of Palma Nova and Magaluf. Palma is…

Grand Event Cruise – At Sea En-Route to Palma

It was once again time to spend a few days soaking up the sun and atmosphere on the ship whilst it was at sea. I think in a way everyone onboard was grateful for these next 2 days. As much as cruising is fun and we love to see these new places everyday it can…
