The next morning we awoke to find ourselves winding our way down the even more spectacular Geirangerfjord. As promised by the officers in Flam, the sun was still beating down on the ship with only the occasional wispy white cloud obscuring the perfect blue sky. Another perk of being in a suite was the invite…

Celebrity Eclipse in Flam
We woke early the day we arrived in Flam as we had booked the Flamsbana mountain train excursion with Celebrity Cruises before we sailed. We had visited Flam the year before, unexpectedly making an overnight stopover due to bad weather preventing us from getting to Geiranger as planned. The station is only a stone’s throw…
A Visit To Edinburgh Zoo
On Saturday I spent the day at Edinburgh Zoo. It was a great day out and we definitely hit lucky for the weather! Apart from one shower, the day remained dry and pleasantly warm. I know you are thinking what does this have to do with cruise? Well, as you will know many cruise ships…
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…
Cruise Ship Stowaway
There are numerous creatures, great and small, that land on our cruise ships as we sail the seven seas. In my time I have come across quite a few different stowaways in all shapes and sizes and some were enough to make your toes curl! The most common for us all is the pigeon, I…
Come And Visit Port Of Tyne
Voted as the UK’s best port of call by CruiseCritic in 2011 it’s not difficult to see why Newcastle Upon Tyne is an ever growing destination choice for cruise passengers. Northumberland, which borders Cumbria to the west, County Durham to the south, Tyne and Wear to the south east and the Scottish Borders to the…
Caribbean Cruise St Maarten/ Sint Maarten
St Maarten sadly was our last Caribbean port of call but it ended with some fabulous weather! Our plan here had been to visit Maho Beach (also known as Airplane Beach) but our previous evening had actually gone on until 3.45 that morning so Maho had moved to the back of our minds slightly. We…
Caribbean Cruise Tortola
What a really pretty place this is, that was my reaction to Tortola. The sky was a little overcast but it still was very humid and you could just see the sun trying to escape through the clouds. Today we would embark on the Best of Tortola excursion and I couldn’t wait, I had been…
Caribbean Cruise Cozumel
Ahhh Cozumel! The day that we had planned as a beach day and what happened, the Carnival Legend pulled up next door and it started raining! OK I can’t blame the Legend as it only rained briefly and it was still so muggy and warm it felt like you could barely breathe. We made our…
Caribbean Cruise Roatan
Roatan was the island I had been looking forward to the most so obviously it would rain torrentially for most of the day wouldn’t it but, that did not stop us enjoying our day. Before we left the UK I had booked a trip through the Shore Excursions Group who are based in Florida. It…
