MSC Cruises Allegrissimo Drinks Package
I have had so many people asking me about the drinks packages with MSC Cruises that I decided to do this blog earlier than planned. It is also slightly longer than usual as I took pictures of the pool bar menu for you all! I opted for the Allegrissimo package on my MSC Opera cruise…
Arrivederci MSC Opera
It’s almost that time again, disembarkation day! Today we have enjoyed Le Havre and are in port until 9pm, but tomorrow shall see us once again back in Southampton where one must leave MSC Opera behind. I have to say this cruise has been fantastic! I didn’t anticipate for one second before I left that…
MSC Opera First Impressions
I boarded MSC Opera in Southampton yesterday. I arrived at the Mayflower Terminal at 11.45am and was onboard the ship by roughly 12.15. First impressions were as I expected from MSC, very good! I have said many times that MSC ships smell nice as well as looking impressive and MSC Opera is no exception. I…

My recent cruise with MSC Cruises on board MSC Magnifica, would also see me travelling solo but the experience as a solo traveller…

I have never been to Amsterdam or Germany before so I am looking forward to exploring some lands previously un-discovered by my little feet….
Costa Crociere New Flagship Costa Diadema
I think it’s fair to say 2012 was not the year for Costa Crociere. In January 2012 the world was awoken by the sad news that the Costa Concordia and over 30 passengers and crew had been lost. Just several weeks later the Costa Allegra was left adrift after a fire onboard cut out all…
MSC Lirica Cruise Ship Visit
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…
