Best of Tortola
So our fourth and final excursion is now booked. Crazy really considering we had agreed not to do any and now we are doing four, what can I say, typical females but excursion shopping is so much fun! The excursion is aptly named “Best of Tortola” and to be honest I think the title suits…

St Lucia Aerial Tram
I recently booked another excursion for my upcoming Caribbean cruise, an aerial tram ride above the rainforest in St Lucia. How amazing does that sound?! When I first came across this excursion I was not immediately blown away by it, I had actually been locked onto the zip-line option but the more I looked at…
The Cruise Ship Bed
It may seem at first a strange topic of conversation but trust me until you have experienced for yourself the “cruise ship bed” you have not slept or even lived for that matter! Where do I start?!
