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.

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…

Cruise Ship Spotting
I am a self confessed cruise ship geek, I tell the world about it almost on a daily basis, I am not ashamed of it and I am quite proud of my ability to spot a ship a mile away and tell you exactly which one it is. (Without binoculars I may add!) Each cruise…

Fjords Cruise A Final Day On-Board

A final breakfast in the Waterside would also be our discovery that fresh omelette’s were available along with pancakes and other goodies. Oh well, something to be tried another time maybe! A leisurely morning ensued and…
Fjords Cruise A Day On Board
Stepping out onto the balcony we were greeted this morning with a much more cosmopolitan city-scape that was Bergen. The weather was noticeably colder and again unfortunately grey and wet. We later learned that Bergen proclaims to be the wettest place in Europe and it was certainly living up to that title! We were docked…
Fjords Cruise Flam
We woke to find the overnight wind had eased slightly and the horizontal rain was now just isolated showers, so we headed off to explore. Although quite a small place, Flam is spectacular with brightly coloured wooden lodge like buildings, set against a back drop of sheer faced mountains and, courtesy of the heavy overnight…
