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…

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…

Despite the drifting banks of fog, occasional glimpses of the awe inspiring scenery whetted the appetite for the day to come. A quick breakfast in the Waterside buffet restaurant was in order….
Fjords Cruise Sea Day
We woke to a pleasant sunrise through partly broken clouds. Oriana had dropped back behind us but was still following our course. Having lost an hour due to the clocks going forward overnight, a relaxing lay in was called for, but as our neighbours were apparently a herd of raging wilder-beast, we didn’t get much…
Cruising and Music
Cruising and music go hand in hand. Maybe not quite as loved up as cruising and food but they still have a pretty strong bond. There are many music cruises available now too, with P&O Cruises Music Festivals at sea, The music infused Blue Man Group onboard Norwegian Epic and even the Rock Cruises that…
