Today we arrived in beautiful Cartagena on the South Eastern coast of Spain. I was quite excited about this port as out of all our destinations it was the only place I had never in fact visited before. I wasn’t sure what to expect or what the local area would be like so I was…

Bon Voyage
This time tomorrow I shall be on board P&O Cruises Oceana as we get ready to set sail on a 12-night Mediterranean adventure. I guess that means today I really need to screw my head on and get organised. I haven’t been quite as organised as usual this time round, why, I have no idea…
Capuchin Catacombs Palermo
A few weeks ago I touched on the importance of an excursion with a difference, how as much as we love to be the typical tourists sometimes it is nice to come across an adventure with a slightly different appeal. One place that I personally feel fits that category perfectly is the Capuchin Catacombs in…
Carnival Destiny to Carnival Sunshine
So 2013 is going to bring some extremely interesting changes for Carnival Destiny. Not only will she undergo a $155 million refurbishment she is also going to be re-named the Carnival Sunshine. Carnival Destiny will be Carnival Cruise Line’s most ambitious refit project ever and I am certain once out of her 49 day dry-dock…

Monte Carlo
The first time I visited Monte Carlo I fell in love, it was the most amazing place I had ever visited. Not simply because of the beautiful coastline but the everywhere you went it oozed with money, glamour and sophistication. The marine is simply amazing. Everywhere you look there are fantastic yachts, the kind of…
Luxury Cruising
Yesterday I was truly inspired by #CruiseChat and decided it was only right today to touch on something I referred to as a little more “Couture” when it comes to cruising. For quite a lot of us when we think of a cruise we automatically envision a huge brilliant white ship, thousands of guests and…
Cruise Ship Chatter
What is our fascination with cruise ships? I mean we all enjoy a holiday and like to be away from the daily grind of life but why is cruising so addictive? As I have mentioned previously I took my first cruise in 2007 and since then it has consumed my entire being, it really is…
Cruising For Kids Part Two
Obviously, the whole point of a cruise is to go to different countries and experience different things. My favourite place out of all the different places that we went to is Pisa because we went on an excursion to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I was truly stunned by the size of the tower and…
