March 14th 2015, was a very special day indeed, as P&O Cruises newest fleet addition Britannia would leave her homeport of Southampton on her maiden voyage. That 2-week cruise was quite possibly one of the most highly anticipated of my entire cruising life, so far. Waiting a year from booking until sailing was absolute torture,…

People That Leave A Lasting Impression
One of the nicest things about taking a cruise is knowing you will meet people that will no doubt stay in your life for many years to come. I have met such a variety of wonderful people since I first started cruising and I still keep in touch with just about all of them in…
A Girls Holiday
There’s nothing that can beat a girls holiday, ladies are you with me? We can shop, laugh, talk about things the men have no time for and just generally have a good time! It’s even better when it’s spent aboard a cruise ship though! I have been seeing the world with my friends for several…
Cruise Ship Cabin Sharing
Being the cruise enthusiast that I am, naturally I am part of a few online groups and communities that all relate to cruising and one thing that is discussed quite frequently is cabin sharing with someone you don’t really know in order to avoid paying the single supplements. I have come to know many wonderful…
Making Friends Onboard – Priceless
Every time I get ready to head off on a cruise I always think about the people I might meet. I love meeting new people and sharing new experiences and generally just having a good time. My last cruise on P&O Cruises, Oceana was no different, I had several new ports and a few familiar…
Onboard Entertainment
When it comes to cruising, the entertainment is one thing I don’t really pay much attention too, unless the act is a comedian as I have said before I tend to stay away. I am more than happy making my own entertainment and to be honest I don’t want to be sitting in a theatre…
My First Cruise
Previously I blogged about my first cruise but I mostly wrote about the ship, Oriana. I thought it would be nice to share little more of my onboard experience with you today. I still remember my first cruise like it was yesterday and especially the first time I set eyes upon the ship. I thought…
A Cruise With Friends
So with only 29 days left to go until the big Caribbean adventure the one thing at the moment I am looking forward to the most is seeing my friend again. I have not seen her since we left Oceana last December after our 24-night Eastern Mediterranean voyage and I can honestly say I have…
Travel Buddy
Over the last 18 months I have probably spent more time on a cruise ship than I have on land and if there is one thing I have come to really appreciate in that time, it’s the importance of a good travel companion. I really do believe that things are always better experienced with other…
Cruise Reunion Nights
We’ve all had slide or DVD nights with our pals to relive our cruises, but how many of you have faithfully recreated the ships buffet for your evening?! Well, my obsession is such that I successfully recreated Independence of the Seas’ Windjammer buffet when we got together with friends to share our cruise pictures last…
