Cabin Air Conditioning – The CruiseMiss Way

The UK has seen some beautiful weather over the last few weeks, in fact it has been so hot and humid I feel like I never left the Mediterranean. All this sticky weather makes me think of air conditioning and how much we rely on it especially when cruising to hot and humid climates. The…

Exploring And A Change Of Itinerary

At present we are sailing through the Mediterranean Sea en route to our last port of call. There were a few white horses out there last night, nothing too drastic but enough gentle movement to remind you that you are in fact on a ship in the middle of the sea. Wonderful! Since my last…

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…

Counting Down To Ventura And The Mediterranean

It’s that time of year again, summer is almost upon us and so come the thoughts of some fun in the sun for 2 weeks. I have visited the Mediterranean on a cruise several times but I never tire of it. I love the atmosphere in countries like Italy and Spain during the summer months…

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…
