As I mentioned in yesterday’s post I am mid way through planning a 35 night Caribbean cruise which leaves next January. My friend and I are making good head way on what to do whilst we are ashore but it was inevitable I would also see which other ships would be in. If I am…

Will I Get Seasick
The short answer………….NO! It may not be the most pleasant thing in the world to discuss but when it comes to a cruise it for many people can be a big part of pre-cruise worry and stress whilst onboard. Not everyone gets or will get seasick but the more you think about it the more…
Fjords Cruise Flam
We woke to find the overnight wind had eased slightly and the horizontal rain was now just isolated showers, so we headed off to explore. Although quite a small place, Flam is spectacular with brightly coloured wooden lodge like buildings, set against a back drop of sheer faced mountains and, courtesy of the heavy overnight…
Fjords Cruise Skjolden
An early start saw me pulling the curtains to see the silhouette of jagged and towering mountainsides a stone’s throw from the balcony. Despite the drifting banks of fog, occasional glimpses of the awe inspiring scenery whetted the appetite for the day to come. A quick breakfast in the Waterside buffet restaurant was in order….

A Love Affair With Royal Caribbean
They say biggest isn’t always best, but for me, when it comes to cruise ships, I think I am of the opinion that, actually, it is. In my relatively short cruising history I admit I have only cruised on one ship. It is no coincidence then that she happens to be one of the biggest,…
Embarkation Day – The P&O Cruises Grand Event
Today started pretty early for me, 3.45am to be exact. I met my coach at 5.15am and we were on our way to Southampton. The trip down was as good as can be expected from a 7 hour journey. We made pretty good time, actually arriving early into Southampton by roughly 30 minutes or so….
Solo Cruise Preparation
This time on Tuesday I shall be in Southampton, a hopefully sunny Southampton (keep your fingers crossed!) either on board or just about to board P&O Cruises Ventura. This cruise will definitely be a little different from what I am used too but I am secretly looking forward to having a cabin all to myself,…
Fourteen Days Until The Grand Event
It is getting ever closer, there are now only 2 weeks left until the P&O Cruises Grand Event and obviously my cruise! Now comes the time when one must set aside non important tasks and focus on what really needs to be done. That would be ironing, buying more shoes, deciding whether to take 2…
