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…

Caribbean Cruise Panama Canal

Our Panama Canal day actually started in the middle of the night. We knew if we wanted a prime spot we had to more or less camp for it, so that’s exactly what we did….sort of. We awoke before the sunrise and made our way forward on deck 14 at roughly 5am. I had expected…

Caribbean Cruise Aruba

We arrived in Aruba after a day at sea so I think everyone was feeling a little more recharged and ready to explore once again. The cruise port was a hive of activity as there were 5 ships in port including us so it was a little crazy for a few minutes trying to navigate…

Caribbean Cruise Grenada

Port 4 was Grenada, our last port before a now well needed sea day. I love port days but we all need a day off every now and then to just do nothing. Today we were going to spend the day at Grand Anse beach. We had heard so many great things about this beach…

Caribbean Cruise St Lucia

St Lucia was our second Caribbean port and it gave off a very pretty first impression. Lots of hills and greenery and a few other nice ships in port to look at too, what more could you want!? Here we had booked the Aerial Tram excursion, I couldn’t wait, and even though I had been…

Madeira Cable Car

Well, I am back in the UK…….those five weeks went over a lot faster than I thought they would and I am already having cruise blues. As you know I blogged live from the ship but really, there was so much more I could have told you about each place so I decided I would…

Leaving The Caribbean

Hello from the Atlantic Ocean! It’s not quite as exciting this time around though as we are now heading back towards the cold of the UK. Since my last blog we have been more or less all over the Caribbean. We enjoyed a partial transit of the Panama Canal which was fantastic. We went through…

Back of House Tour

The back of house tour is something everyone should take part in. It lasts roughly 3 hours and costs £75 per person but don’t let the cost deter you because I assure you, you will not be disappointed! The tour started in Footlights Theatre where we learned more about the production side of the onboard…

Barbados, Grenada and Aruba

Since my last blog we have visited Barbados, Grenada and Aruba and are now en-route towards the Panama Canal. We also done the back of house tour which was brilliant but before I get to that let me just talk a little bit about our ports.  I can’t quite put my finger on why but…

One More Sleep

Happy New Year everyone! I trust many of you will still be celebrating, others are probably lying on the sofa hoping the ground will open up and swallow them because they over done the bubbles! 😉 I on the other hand am wading through bags of clothes and this shall be my last blog post…
