Cruise Ships Galore
My most recent Caribbean cruise allowed me to visit some pretty beautiful islands and of course it was definitely a holiday I will remember, but it’s not just about the islands now is it……the other ships we pass on our travels are just as important as the stops we make….well for some of us anyway!…
Beauties And The Beasts
Today Scott takes command of the blog and talks about ship design…………. Do you often look at all the lovely and not so lovely (Norwegian Epic) cruise ships and wonder why they look like they do, or have particular design features? I have a few theories of my own but can’t really answer authoritatively. So…
Is P&O Cruises Oceana Haunted
Several months ago I spoke about haunted cruise ships and how I thought it would be exciting to investigate an old liner like the Queen Mary, In that blog I also mentioned of strange goings on aboard Oceana during my April 2012 cruise. Well, you guessed it! There were more strange happenings on Oceana and…
Caribbean Cruise St Maarten/ Sint Maarten
St Maarten sadly was our last Caribbean port of call but it ended with some fabulous weather! Our plan here had been to visit Maho Beach (also known as Airplane Beach) but our previous evening had actually gone on until 3.45 that morning so Maho had moved to the back of our minds slightly. We…
Caribbean Cruise Tortola
What a really pretty place this is, that was my reaction to Tortola. The sky was a little overcast but it still was very humid and you could just see the sun trying to escape through the clouds. Today we would embark on the Best of Tortola excursion and I couldn’t wait, I had been…
Caribbean Cruise Jamaica
In the words of Damian Marley, welcome to Jamrock! And what a warm welcome it was! When I first booked the cruise and told people our ports of call I kept hearing the same things over and over again about Jamaica. It’s not safe, don’t go anywhere unless you are in a group, try to…
Caribbean Cruise Cozumel
Ahhh Cozumel! The day that we had planned as a beach day and what happened, the Carnival Legend pulled up next door and it started raining! OK I can’t blame the Legend as it only rained briefly and it was still so muggy and warm it felt like you could barely breathe. We made our…
Caribbean Cruise Roatan
Roatan was the island I had been looking forward to the most so obviously it would rain torrentially for most of the day wouldn’t it but, that did not stop us enjoying our day. Before we left the UK I had booked a trip through the Shore Excursions Group who are based in Florida. It…
Caribbean Cruise Panama Canal
Our Panama Canal day actually started in the middle of the night. We knew if we wanted a prime spot we had to more or less camp for it, so that’s exactly what we did….sort of. We awoke before the sunrise and made our way forward on deck 14 at roughly 5am. I had expected…
