Let me introduce you all to Gareth, currently a Second Officer on board P&O Cruises, Aurora. I first met Gareth in November 2011 on board Oceana, well, I’m saying met; he was hurrying from one end of the ship to the other and gave a quick “hello” as he went past. I am assuming he…

All Pets Aboard
I came across a video yesterday by Cunard Line of Britain’s Got Talent winners Ashleigh & Pudsey, who sailed back to the UK from America on board the QM2. It was a great little video and Pudsey really seemed to enjoy his time on board. It made me think more about our pets, especially…
Cruising, it never gets Tiresome
Each and every one of us has aspects of a cruise experience that we never get tired of. It could be the fact you wake up in an entirely new destination each morning or the fact you can eat around the clock and not have to cook any of it yourself. There are many reasons…
A Blast From Cruise Ship’s Past
Today is a very special photograph blog, a blast from the cruise ship past. Some cruise ships have been sold many times, often found themselves with many names. We take a look at just some of them that have been sold and re-named over the years. Some have been re-named many times, for example what…

Haunted Cruise Ships
When it comes to hauntings and spooky goings on I always keep an open mind, ok that’s a bare faced lie I don’t. If I hear anything go bump in the night I automatically think it is a visit from the other side and start to panic. It got me thinking though after watching Ghost…
A Love Affair With Royal Caribbean
They say biggest isn’t always best, but for me, when it comes to cruise ships, I think I am of the opinion that, actually, it is. In my relatively short cruising history I admit I have only cruised on one ship. It is no coincidence then that she happens to be one of the biggest,…
Be Careful What You Shop For
When I cruise I tend to look for markets or stores that sell things I can’t get back home. As I have previously mentioned I seem to be fond of wall masks at the moment and have quite an interesting collection of African ones and Elephants, one being the Hindu Elephant God, Ganesh, also known…
Save The SS United States
I was approached recently via the CruiseMiss facebook page regarding helping to spread the word about the SS United States and the need for people just like you to help save her. America’s flagship, the SS United States was a military powerhouse designed as a luxury liner. Larger than the Titanic and at almost a…
