Yesterday evening I was made aware by a blog reader that there had been a small incident onboard P&O Cruises Oriana. The CruiseMiss reader mentioned her mother and daughter were currently onboard the ship and they were reporting a small engine room fire. Oriana was due to leave Dublin yesterday evening at 8pm however it…

Five Days Until MSC Opera
There are only 5 days to go until I join MSC Opera for a 10-night European cruise and since I printed my e-ticket and luggage labels yesterday I am starting to feel quite excited. I am so looking forward to being back at sea especially as this cruise is going to bring a fair few…
Curse Of The Squeaky Cabin
Blog after blog I mention how much I enjoy the rough weather at sea, don’t get me wrong one needs sunshine too but I always hope for rough seas at some point, only once have I been disappointed. The only bad thing about rough weather (if you don’t suffer from seasickness of course) is the…
Life After A Cruise Is Rubbish, We All Feel It!
Have you ever noticed that after a cruise, especially if it is a long one, you struggle to get back into the simple things we do day in day out in life? Like making the bed, such a chore to do again when someone has done it for you for several weeks yet you managed…
Muster Drill Pick Up Lines
During last night’s weekly #CruiseChat on Twitter we were discussing solo cruising. It was quite a coincidence then that my blog yesterday was also about solo cruising. Once we moved away from the chat itself a new hashtag was created, #MusterDrillPickUps, a sort of side line tag where we could add quirky and stupid pick-up…

I think overall the Caribbean will probably prove to be the best cruise yet with regards to the different animals…
Costa Crociere New Flagship Costa Diadema
I think it’s fair to say 2012 was not the year for Costa Crociere. In January 2012 the world was awoken by the sad news that the Costa Concordia and over 30 passengers and crew had been lost. Just several weeks later the Costa Allegra was left adrift after a fire onboard cut out all…
Cruise Ship Nicknames
In life we come across people with nicknames, some are pretty good, others are just plain insane but either way someone has clearly loved that person enough to christen them with something other than what their mother gave them. The same goes for cruise ships too. They may be christened, have their name sprawled across…
Costa Concordia Parbuckling Project
A new website has been launched by Costa Crociere and the salvage company given the contract to re-float and remove the Costa Concordia wreck which lies just off the coast of Giglio, Italy. The website details Parbuckling which is the technical term used for the process of rotating the shipwreck back into an upright position….
