My 2016 Cruise Diary

I’ve been back on dry land for a few weeks now (with the brief exception of a night in port on Ovation of the Seas) and I’m starting to get restless again, so I suppose it’s a good job that I have a few cruises coming up to banish those ocean blues… First up is…

Caribbean And USA With P&O Cruises – Part 4

Since my last blog, we have visited 4 other ports in the USA and are now heading back across the Atlantic towards Ponta Delgada and then finally, Southampton. It’s pretty miserable out there today – a sad reminder that all of this is coming to an end – so I am taking refuge in my…

Caribbean And USA With P&O Cruises – Part 3

Jamaica was another hot and sunny day and I was met at the port by my guide for the day, Marsha. We left the ship behind and drove Downtown, which was a fantastic experience! This is where the locals like to do their daily shopping and it was a real glimpse at typical Jamaican life….

I Can’t Keep Calm…I’m Going On A Cruise!

I can’t keep calm…I’m going on a cruise in 31 days! I know it may seem a little excessive to do a pre-cruise blog now, but my next cruise is for 35-nights and I’m a little excited, so I decided it was OK to start shouting about it earlier than usual. So, I will leave…

Merry Cruisemas!

As much as I love to cruise, I am still undecided as to whether or not I would want to cruise over the festive season. A New Year cruise sounds great, but Christmas…I just don’t know. If I were to embark on a voyage and spend Christmas at sea then my ship would ideally have…

The Ocean Is My Happy Place

I added the below picture to Facebook and Twitter recently, I’m sure many of you have already seen it, but the response was so much more than I had expected – maybe that’s because it is your happy place too – and it inspired me to write today’s blog. Travel and the ocean are my…
