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,…

The Perks of Working On-Board

Some of these may sound pretty obvious but until you actually experience life at sea, you can only imagine what it is like. A career at sea is a lot of hard work but the benefits of it can also be amazing. Let me share some of the best ones with you. Waking up in…

Daily Adventures

I think one of the most appealing things about a cruise holiday is simply the fact you can quite literally wake up in a new and exciting place almost every single day.  One day you are in Cannes, soaking up the atmosphere of the French Riviera and the next you could be in the bustling…

Depending on the angle you can see ocean, people sunbathing or even catch a glimpse of the destination they are visiting on…

Mystery Cruise

The Saga Ruby recently embarked on a “mystery cruise” where only the Captain, chief purser, shore excursions staff and watch keepers knew where the ship was actually heading. How much fun does this sound? When I heard about it I was absolutely intrigued. The whole experience is a complete mystery. Apparently there were dummy charts…
