Solo Cruising With P&O Cruises

My last trip was another solo cruising adventure and I wanted to highlight that a little more today. I don’t feel like I touched on that aspect too much when I was actually onboard and I know a few of you will appreciate something a little more in depth about the experience. My Canary Islands…

Oceana Canary Islands Cruise Part 3

Well it’s almost that time again, home time! We are on our last sea day, currently going through the Bay of Biscay and we shall arrive in Southampton early tomorrow morning. Since I last updated you all we have visited Tenerife and Lisbon. I have been to Tenerife before and was looking forward to some…

Oceana Canary Islands Cruise Part 2

Hello from the warm and sunny island of Gran Canaria! Since I last checked in with you we have visited Madeira and La Palma and so far we have certainly been lucky with hot sunshine. I have visited Madeira several times before so I didn’t have anything planned. I went ashore with a few people…

Oceana Canary Islands Cruise Part 1

Hello from Oceana! We are still making our way south at the moment. Since leaving Southampton we have had a day at sea and are now in the middle of our second. We have one more before reaching Madeira on Friday and then it is back to back ports before another day at sea and…

My 2013 Cruising Best Bits

2013 was a year filled with travel for me and looking back I can’t quite believe just how many different places I was lucky enough to visit, how many ships I stepped aboard and everything else awesome in-between that came with it. I thought it would be nice to use today’s blog to look back…

Cruise Ship Cuisine At Home – P&O Cruises Cafe Jardin Recipe Blog

As you know my favourite place to dine onboard P&O Cruises, Oceana is the Marco Pierre White, Café Jardin. The food is delicious and to be honest it’s nice to have the lighter lunchtime options that they provide, like a Panini or soup. The breakfast and lunch menus are at no extra charge whereas the evening…

Special Little Requests

We all have special requests when we cruise, some are for dietary or health reasons and others are just because we like the additional home comfort or extra little treat here and there. I have several things I tend to ask for on every voyage and if I am entirely honest, only one of them…

More Ports Of Call, A Calm Biscay And Disembarkation

It’s been a while since I last checked in with you! Unfortunately I couldn’t get the ship Wi-Fi to soak up enough juice to power my blog so had to wait until I returned home before I could bring you more content. I know you are thinking the same thing, the cruise flew over! It…

Back Onboard Oceana

Well, as most of you know, I boarded Oceana yesterday in Southampton for an 11-night Atlantic Coast voyage. At present we are somewhere off the coast of France sailing through the Bay of Biscay and she is living up to her name. It’s been quite lumpy and bumpy since we left port yesterday, much to…
