Crew Members That Leave A Lasting Impression
The crew, where would we be without them? Nowhere, basically! I have met some amazing crew members over the last 6 years and some of them really stick in my mind and for various different reasons. Some became good friends, friends that I talk too regularly when I am back at home, whether it be…

Amsterdam Christmas Markets

Making Friends Onboard – Priceless
Every time I get ready to head off on a cruise I always think about the people I might meet. I love meeting new people and sharing new experiences and generally just having a good time. My last cruise on P&O Cruises, Oceana was no different, I had several new ports and a few familiar…
Saving The Old With The New
The pictures that have emerged recently of the lovely Ocean Countess drowning in a thick grey smoke as the flames engulf her are awful. If you think of the love, life and energy that was once contained within her as passengers sailed around the world – it’s actually quite sad! The same goes for the…
