It is almost that time of year again and the time to start thinking about that all important Christmas shopping. I have to be honest and say that I am almost finished all of mine, I started in September this year, usually I would wait until October but I gave myself a head start. Although…

Amsterdam Christmas Markets
This trip would see me spend a full day, evening and half a day in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. I opted to do the mini-cruise which included an overnight stay in the city, sometimes you need just a little more time to explore and soak it all up. I stayed at the Ibis hotel…
MSC Magnifica A Day At Sea
Today we should have spent the day ashore in Helgoland but sadly our call had to be cancelled. It is a tender port and by the time we reached our position of anchor our Captain, Antonio Siviero, made the decision to cancel due to the force 7 winds and a wave height of 2-3 metres….
Come And Visit Port Of Tyne
Voted as the UK’s best port of call by CruiseCritic in 2011 it’s not difficult to see why Newcastle Upon Tyne is an ever growing destination choice for cruise passengers. Northumberland, which borders Cumbria to the west, County Durham to the south, Tyne and Wear to the south east and the Scottish Borders to the…
Caribbean Cruise St Maarten/ Sint Maarten
St Maarten sadly was our last Caribbean port of call but it ended with some fabulous weather! Our plan here had been to visit Maho Beach (also known as Airplane Beach) but our previous evening had actually gone on until 3.45 that morning so Maho had moved to the back of our minds slightly. We…
Caribbean Cruise Cozumel
Ahhh Cozumel! The day that we had planned as a beach day and what happened, the Carnival Legend pulled up next door and it started raining! OK I can’t blame the Legend as it only rained briefly and it was still so muggy and warm it felt like you could barely breathe. We made our…
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…
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…
