Cruise Ship Nicknames

In life we come across people with nicknames, some are pretty good, others are just plain insane but either way someone has clearly loved that person enough to christen them with something other than what their mother gave them. The same goes for cruise ships too. They may be christened, have their name sprawled across…

Cunard Line’s, Queen Elizabeth is the youngest of the Cunard fleet, she first joined her sisters, the Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria in 2010 and has not only settled herself with the nickname QE but proven to be a most popular vessel within the Cunard fleet, the youngest fleet of ships in the world…

Cruise Ships Are Calling

As much as I wish I had been on every cruise ship on the planet I am sorry to say I haven’t, it’s still very much a work in progress. There are some ships I am really looking forward to trying but for specific facilities or features, I would love to cruise on them of…

Learning About Your Cruise Ship

It’s not only the experiences from cruising that I am beyond passionate about, it of course is the ship too, but even beyond that I enjoy learning more about the workings of the ship upon which I sail. I don’t know everything and if honest I don’t understand everything either but it doesn’t stop me…

All Pets Aboard

I came across a video yesterday by Cunard Line of Britain’s Got Talent winners Ashleigh & Pudsey, who sailed back to the UK from America on board the QM2. It was a great little video and Pudsey really seemed to enjoy his time on board.   It made me think more about our pets, especially…

The Authentic Cunard Cruise Line

I sometimes do wish we could go back in time and experience “pleasure liners” from yesteryear. Go back to when cruising was not quite so commercialised or in some cases a little over the top with facilities. Can you imagine having the chance to board the Mauretania or the Lusitania back when they were in…

My Cruise Bucket List

There are so many things it seems these days that we need to create a bucket list for but personally for me, the only thing that needs one is travel. If there is one thing I have come to appreciate in the last few years it is the fact I am lucky enough to have…

A Cunard Diamond Jubilee

Yesterday Cunard Cruise Line held their own special celebration to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, and it was also quite a special event for the 3 Cunard Queens too. All three Cunard ships, Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth sailed in formation into Southampton for the very first time. It really was quite…

Cruise Ship Chatter

What is our fascination with cruise ships? I mean we all enjoy a holiday and like to be away from the daily grind of life but why is cruising so addictive? As I have mentioned previously I took my first cruise in 2007 and since then it has consumed my entire being, it really is…
