Explore Iconic Australian Sights Between Two Cunard Ships
I received information yesterday from Cunard Line about some wonderful Australian itineraries they will be offering in 2014 and had to share them with you. Friends of mine done something similar several years ago when they split their world cruise into sections, hopping on and off various ships and trying out numerous excursions during the…
And Then There Was Land
We had three sea days at the beginning of the cruise before reaching our first port. I love sea days, the weather wasn’t too great on the first two but it’s got steadily warmer and brighter by the day. Our first port was Valencia and today we have enjoyed Barcelona. During our time in Valencia…
A Simple Evening At Sea
We were sailing through the Mediterranean Sea, the sun was just starting to set and I had the entire deck to myself. This is the life, I thought. Nothing but ocean for miles around, no noise and nothing spoiling the view. It’s a feeling that never gets old. On this particular evening it was warm…

Haifa Israel
I visited Haifa in November of last year, my first visit to this country and we were there for 2 days. The call was supposed to include Ashdod but it was cancelled before we even left for the cruise so instead it was a sleep over in Haifa. I remember not knowing what to expect…
Caribbean Beaches
I can’t quite decide what I am most looking forward too about my next cruise but if there is one thing I know I can’t wait for its crisp white sandy beaches with crystal clear waters! I suppose being a cruise addict it was obvious that would be quite high on my list. Today I…
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…
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…
