Titanic II A Legacy Or A Curse

Titanic II, Where do I start with this? I really don’t know! Part of me thinks this is a nice idea and the vessel could also act as an educational tool, a working museum almost. The other side of me wonders though if it would forever remain tainted to an extent because of the fate…

Homesick

Being back on dry land for a few weeks has now made me realise that booking a five week cruise probably wasn’t the brightest idea I have ever had, because now I have the worst cruise blues, ever! Actually I wouldn’t even call them cruise blues I think the more appropriate thing to say would…

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…

Finally in The Caribbean

Well it’s been quite a few days since we last spoke. Since my last blog we have called to Antigua and today we are in St Lucia. Antigua was wonderful, the vibe there was amazing, the kind of holiday vibe I enjoy. Everyone is taking it easy, nothing is too much trouble and everything is…

Hello From Madeira

Hello! From a rather warm and sunny Funchal, Madeira. This is my third visit to Funchal and it never gets old. This is certainly one of the cleanest and greenest ports of call I have ever had the pleasure of visiting and today was no exception. We left Oceana at roughly 9am and made our…

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…
