Today marks the start of our transatlantic crossing. We have another 4 days ahead of us until we reach the Caribbean and the best part about those days, we have to gain a few extra hours over the course of them which means extra sleep 😉 Our paper told us yesterday that today would be…

One More Sleep
Happy New Year everyone! I trust many of you will still be celebrating, others are probably lying on the sofa hoping the ground will open up and swallow them because they over done the bubbles! 😉 I on the other hand am wading through bags of clothes and this shall be my last blog post…
One Week Today
Hello cruise-a-holics! I hope each and every one of you had an amazing Christmas! I know technically we are all still in Christmas mode but I am now well and truly in CRUISE mode! At this time in exactly seven days I will probably be at the Ocean Terminal in Southampton just about to board…
Can’t Wait To See Oceana
So the Caribbean adventure is a mere 13 days away, where has the time gone?! I feel like I only booked the cruise yesterday and all of a sudden here it is and I am beyond un-prepared! I keep telling myself I must start sorting things out and packing but then I get sidetracked by…
A Cruise With Friends
So with only 29 days left to go until the big Caribbean adventure the one thing at the moment I am looking forward to the most is seeing my friend again. I have not seen her since we left Oceana last December after our 24-night Eastern Mediterranean voyage and I can honestly say I have…
Cruise Ship Webcams

It is often said that a Panama Canal transit is the Holy Grail of cruising and even with just a quick glance at pictures of this engineering marvel online it is clear to see why! When I took my first cruise in 2007 I had heard about the Canal but was not too familiar with…
A Cabin Dilemma
I am starting to get quite concerned about my upcoming cruise, well not the cruise exactly more like the size of the cabin and the fact it is a five week cruise. Usually I am more than content with my onboard space however last November my friend and I embarked on a 24 night cruise,…
Caribbean Port Planning
So my friend and I have been planning what to do on our upcoming cruise. Usually I don’t plan a lot to be honest, I just go with the flow when I get there unless there is something I really want to see, for example I really wanted to see the leaning Tower of Pisa,…
Cruise Ships in The Caribbean
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post I am mid way through planning a 35 night Caribbean cruise which leaves next January. My friend and I are making good head way on what to do whilst we are ashore but it was inevitable I would also see which other ships would be in. If I am…
