I often wonder what it must be like to live on a cruise ship. Not in the sense that you are crew and ‘live’ on board for the term of your contract or you are on a world cruise, I mean to ACTUALLY live on board. Launched in 2002 and at 644 feet The World…

Shore Excursion Gone Wrong
With today’s blog comes my request to you that, when on organised excursions, just make a mental note of those sitting around you so that if the guide were to miss-count you can shout out that someone is missing. Had someone done that for my friend her day may have been very different. In 2008…
MSC Magnifica Balcony Cabin
Today I want to share with you my MSC Magnifica cabin, that’s it! Nothing else, just the cabin! I found myself on Deck 12, PortoVenere deck and in cabin number 12062 on the ship’s Starboard side. I walked through the door and thought to myself, this is all for ME? Oh why thank you, MSC…
Staying Safe Ashore
When it comes to staying safe ashore most challenging situations are often averted by using basic common sense. No matter where you go in the world sadly, there is crime to a degree and we must all remain vigilant even in the most stunning and peaceful of destinations. As cruise passengers we are already at…
Cruising With Food Intolerances
Today I would like to welcome guest blogger Cruise-Dude to the CruiseMiss blog. I came across an article on his site recently that focussed on the topic of food allergies and food intolerances. I found it to be very informative and as I suffer with food intolerances myself, I asked if he would like to guest…
Hurtigruten MS Fram
Yesterday I enjoyed the hospitality of Hurtigruten ship, MS Fram, whilst she was docked in Port of Tyne. That was once I found her of course. I knew she was small but as we drove towards the terminal I couldn’t see anything that resembled a ship. Finally she peeked out from behind the apartment building…
Norwegian Breakaway Arrives in Southampton
Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest vessel, Norwegian Breakaway, arrived in Southampton this morning and has certainly NOT disappointed her awaiting British audience. Next stop, New York City, but for now she remains docked in Southampton at the City Terminal and we are certainly enjoying having her here. She really does look wonderful and is jam packed…
Carnival Triumph The Unluckiest Ship At Sea
What is it with this cruise ship? She has been all over the news in recent months and not for the right reasons. Aside from Carnival Cruise Lines having some clear issues across numerous members of their fleet lately, I feel like the Carnival Triumph is being tested by the gods themselves! So let’s re-cap!…
My First River Cruise
Today’s blog comes courtesy of a friend of mine, Mandy (CruiseMandy) Smith. She recently embarked on her first River Cruise and as it’s not something covered on my blog regularly, I invited her to share with us her experience. When the opportunity to cruise the Nile on the 5* Royal Viking with Discover Egypt presented…
Muster Drill Pick Up Lines
During last night’s weekly #CruiseChat on Twitter we were discussing solo cruising. It was quite a coincidence then that my blog yesterday was also about solo cruising. Once we moved away from the chat itself a new hashtag was created, #MusterDrillPickUps, a sort of side line tag where we could add quirky and stupid pick-up…
