A few days ago I watched the “P&O Cruises, Celebrating 175 Years of Heritage” DVD and it really was very interesting. The company has such a rich and deep history, a history that is still to this day portrayed onboard just in a way that is slightly more in keeping with modern times. Aside from…

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 Ship Engineering
In a previous blog post (Learning About Your Cruise Ship) I touched on things like Azipods, Ballast Tanks and even commented on some phrases you may hear used whilst onboard. In today’s blog however I wanted to take it a little further into how your ship actually works and what goes on behind the scenes….
A Cruise is Never Boring
If there’s one thing I always look forward to about a cruise it’s the unexpected. I don’t think I have ever taken a cruise where something interesting or a little unusual didn’t happen. It’s difficult to an extent to try and explain this to you fully because to be honest I don’t really know how…
Top 5 Cruise Ship Towel Animals
Towel animals have been associated with cruising for as long as I can remember; I don’t think we ever out grow them to be honest. Even now, 28 years old, I still find it nice to return to my cabin and find a new and wonderful creation waiting for me. Some people love them some…

92 Days Until The Caribbean Adventure
My next cruise is booked, and if I said I was excited that would be a complete lie because I’m not, not even a tiny bit……OK OK I am LYING!!! I absolutely cannot wait. This cruise will be a 35-night round-trip Caribbean adventure from Southampton. Quite possibly the cruise and travel experience of a lifetime….
Something A Little Extra
There are probably a thousand things I could think of that cruise ships don’t have that they should. I’m not talking about anything big and extravagant I mean simple things that could actually enhance a guests experience or just make some things a little easier. As an example, some ports of call offer some pretty…
Travel Travel and More Travel
I’m not entirely sure where my travel passion came from. I have been fortunate enough to experience a holiday just about every year since I was a toddler (obviously I can’t remember them all but my mother assures me that she took me!) however, it has only been the last 24 months I would say…
