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…

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…
New Cruise Ships Are Coming
With cruising becoming more and more popular it obviously creates demand for more ships. In the last few years there have been many additional ships added to the cruise market. Some have been small and contemporary where as others have been huge and world record breakers. So with that said maybe we should have a…

The Cunard 2014 World Voyage Programme goes on sale September 5th and I must admit the itinerary selections are truly amazing.

A Love Affair With Royal Caribbean
They say biggest isn’t always best, but for me, when it comes to cruise ships, I think I am of the opinion that, actually, it is. In my relatively short cruising history I admit I have only cruised on one ship. It is no coincidence then that she happens to be one of the biggest,…
Be Careful What You Shop For
When I cruise I tend to look for markets or stores that sell things I can’t get back home. As I have previously mentioned I seem to be fond of wall masks at the moment and have quite an interesting collection of African ones and Elephants, one being the Hindu Elephant God, Ganesh, also known…
Grand Event Cruise – Last Day and Disembarkation
Well, today was it, our very last day onboard Ventura and boy was I feeling the cruise blues already. I have to say this had been probably the best cruise in many ways I have ever experienced. The weather had been perfect, the ports wonderful and even better where the friendships both old and new…
Grand Event Cruise – Vigo
Today we found ourselves in Vigo, Spain, and it was to be our last port of call. Vigo again was a place I had visited many times before however, this time, it seemed a little different. Our captain announced that a lot of money had been spent regenerating the port here and I could actually…
Grand Event Cruise – Lisbon
Today we awoke to find ourselves in Portugal, well, most passengers did, I awoke to find us still on our way. I couldn’t sleep; I kept tossing and turning all night. Eventually I put the TV on in my cabin and hit channel 9 so I could see the webcam. To my delight I was…
