The Bridge – Part One

A visit to the bridge is something every avid cruiser longs for, a chance to really get to see the vessel for what she is. I don’t feel I need to “introduce” this post really, the title says it all…..………. We were met by an officer on the forward passenger stairwell and escorted along the…

Travel Makes You Richer

I recently came across a quote on twitter and it read “Travel is the only thing you can buy, that makes you richer” and I really do believe not a truer word was spoken. For me travel is not just a chance to escape what can be the doom and gloom of UK weather, it’s…

St Lucia Aerial Tram

I recently booked another excursion for my upcoming Caribbean cruise, an aerial tram ride above the rainforest in St Lucia. How amazing does that sound?! When I first came across this excursion I was not immediately blown away by it, I had actually been locked onto the zip-line option but the more I looked at…

It comes highly recommended and…

Jamaica Jeep Safari

I booked one of our cruise excursions earlier, a 4×4 Jeep Safari in Jamaica. It was a pretty instantaneous decision. As soon as my friend and I read the information we were decided, we had to do it! This is what it read: The best way to see the island of Jamaica is by 4×4. Experience…

A Solo Cruise Experience

On my most recent cruise I travelled alone, well, sometimes. See, I booked the cruise for myself but had arranged to meet friends onboard who were also doing the same cruise. Although I don’t feel like I can comment 100% accurately on what cruising on your own is like I feel there are some aspects…

Cruise Ships Are Calling

As much as I wish I had been on every cruise ship on the planet I am sorry to say I haven’t, it’s still very much a work in progress. There are some ships I am really looking forward to trying but for specific facilities or features, I would love to cruise on them of…
