Titanic II A Legacy Or A Curse

Titanic II, Where do I start with this? I really don’t know! Part of me thinks this is a nice idea and the vessel could also act as an educational tool, a working museum almost. The other side of me wonders though if it would forever remain tainted to an extent because of the fate…

Homesick

Being back on dry land for a few weeks has now made me realise that booking a five week cruise probably wasn’t the brightest idea I have ever had, because now I have the worst cruise blues, ever! Actually I wouldn’t even call them cruise blues I think the more appropriate thing to say would…

I have a few theories of my own but can’t really answer authoritatively. So…

Is P&O Cruises Oceana Haunted

Several months ago I spoke about haunted cruise ships and how I thought it would be exciting to investigate an old liner like the Queen Mary, In that blog I also mentioned of strange goings on aboard Oceana during my April 2012 cruise. Well, you guessed it! There were more strange happenings on Oceana and…

Caribbean Cruise St Maarten/ Sint Maarten

St Maarten sadly was our last Caribbean port of call but it ended with some fabulous weather! Our plan here had been to visit Maho Beach (also known as Airplane Beach) but our previous evening had actually gone on until 3.45 that morning so Maho had moved to the back of our minds slightly. We…

Caribbean Cruise Tortola

What a really pretty place this is, that was my reaction to Tortola. The sky was a little overcast but it still was very humid and you could just see the sun trying to escape through the clouds. Today we would embark on the Best of Tortola excursion and I couldn’t wait, I had been…
