When it comes to any type of holiday the one thing you cannot avoid is packing. We loathe it but it is an evil necessity that must be carried out if we want to go anywhere. Usually it’s what shoes will I pack, have I got enough pairs of shorts, what stuff belonging to the…

Best of Tortola
So our fourth and final excursion is now booked. Crazy really considering we had agreed not to do any and now we are doing four, what can I say, typical females but excursion shopping is so much fun! The excursion is aptly named “Best of Tortola” and to be honest I think the title suits…
A Cabin Dilemma
I am starting to get quite concerned about my upcoming cruise, well not the cruise exactly more like the size of the cabin and the fact it is a five week cruise. Usually I am more than content with my onboard space however last November my friend and I embarked on a 24 night cruise,…
Good Week Bad Week for Royal Caribbean
Bad News Poor Jewel of the Seas had a really close encounter when she paid a visit to the Faroe Islands recently. She hit an overhead cable which was strung between two islands. The incident left one crew member injured and the ships mast more or less in half. Fear not though, she remained seaworthy…

Pre Cruise Man Stress
So, with only a few short weeks until I next set sail, I was wondering what I could blog about for CruiseMiss. More thoughts about my recent Arcadia ship visit? The 3 Cunard Queen’s Jubilee tribute? Why I love cruising so much? None seemed to quite give me the inspiration I needed. I couldn’t work…
Day at Sea and the Gibraltar Approach – Day 2/3
Day 2 was finally the start of the weather starting to calm down. Although not exactly red hot the sun did briefly come out and it was pleasant walking around on the open decks (when the wind didn’t blow you off your feet of course) we were finally on our way into the warmer waters…
The Tender Port
For some people the idea of a tender port can be quite daunting but for me it’s all part of the enjoyment of the cruise. One of my friends experienced her first tender port on our cruise in July last year and to say she wasn’t very impressed is an understatement. She wanted to get…
