Well, I have not long left MSC Lirica, my second visit to this ship and once again she did not disappoint. This visit was far better than the last, we had longer to explore the ship which meant seeing places that were missed previously as well as also having the chance to see three different…

A Secret Cruise Convert
There’s nothing better than a cruise convert but the best cruise converts are the ones who spend the entire duration of their first cruise expressing to you daily their displeasure at their chosen holiday, only to inform you several months after you returned home that they have gone and booked another one! I really do…
Something A Little Extra
There are probably a thousand things I could think of that cruise ships don’t have that they should. I’m not talking about anything big and extravagant I mean simple things that could actually enhance a guests experience or just make some things a little easier. As an example, some ports of call offer some pretty…
Fjords Cruise A Final Day On-Board
By morning the sea and wind had abated somewhat but the day started grey with drizzle in the air. A final breakfast in the Waterside would also be our discovery that fresh omelette’s were available along with pancakes and other goodies. Oh well, something to be tried another time maybe! A leisurely morning ensued and…
Fjords Cruise Flam
We woke to find the overnight wind had eased slightly and the horizontal rain was now just isolated showers, so we headed off to explore. Although quite a small place, Flam is spectacular with brightly coloured wooden lodge like buildings, set against a back drop of sheer faced mountains and, courtesy of the heavy overnight…
Fjords Cruise Skjolden
An early start saw me pulling the curtains to see the silhouette of jagged and towering mountainsides a stone’s throw from the balcony. 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…

Picky Eaters
When it comes to cruising one of the biggest factors always has been and always will be FOOD. We are tempted by dishes with names we can only ever hope to pronounce correctly and would never even attempt to try and spell. They flash high gloss images through the pages of the brochures, just to…
My Cruise Ship Frown Lines
I ramble on and on every day almost about how wonderful cruising is, it is the be all and end all in life. If it’s not about cruising then I quite frankly don’t want to know but, sometimes, some things on board do get up my nose and I may just show those forehead frown…
