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…

ShipMate Cruise App

I recently changed from a Blackberry to a Samsung Android phone and obviously the first app I searched for was one relating to cruise ships. Well, imagine my delight when I found several. I have to say one of my favourite ones is the ShipMate app. I say favourite one, there are actually quite a…

A Cunard Diamond Jubilee

Yesterday Cunard Cruise Line held their own special celebration to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, and it was also quite a special event for the 3 Cunard Queens too. All three Cunard ships, Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth sailed in formation into Southampton for the very first time. It really was quite…

Cruise Ship Courtesy

Things Are Not Always As They Seem

Disney Fantasy To The Rescue

It really was Disney Fantasy to the rescue. The ship was sailing from Port Canaveral, Florida, to Grand Cayman on Sunday afternoon when crew members aboard the Fantasy spotted four men on a small raft signalling for help. Rebecca Peddie, Spokeswoman for Disney Cruise Line said “The men were brought aboard the 130,000 ton ship,…
