It`s That Time Of The Year Again
When I woke up this morning I actually thought it was winter all over again, not spring and Easter ! Howling winds, torrential rains – storm Katie arrived with a bang! Living in the middle of the country I guess I`m lucky as we don`t get the strongest winds but I did think it was […]
Read MoreBritannia – What`s The Verdict ?
P&O`s much fanfared new ship Britannia has been with us now for just over a year, so how has she lived up to her regal name and is she going to be as loved as all the other P&O ships? Opinion seems to be very divided, lots of comments on our Cruise.co.uk website, but also […]
Read MoreA Very Affordable Mini Suite
Your choice of cabin on a cruise must be one, if not the, most important things to consider when booking your holiday. If you have never cruised before, and your budget is limited, the start off with an inside cabin. What do I get in an inside cabin ? is a very common, and good, […]
Read MoreAt Last – More Direct regional Flights
One of the main grumbles, from anyone booking any kind of holiday, is the lack of flights from regional airports. Well not really that there are no flights but no direct flights. Why would you want to fly from say Manchester to Venice, which is only about 2 hours or so, via Amsterdam!, and when […]

Read MoreAn Azamazing Journey!
A two night cruise is short by any standards but my trip from Gibraltar to Barcelona on the lovely Azamara Journey was so worth it! The sun shone all the time, needed much cooler clothing than I took with me, the sea was a little choppy at times, the ship was lovely, the food excellent […]
Read MoreGibraltar – It All About The Monkeys ?
The last time I went to Gibraltar was a few years ago when I worked for Thomson on the Costa del Sol, all I remember is Marks & Spencer’s and a monkey trying to climb on my back ! This week I am returning to this little British outpost in the Mediterranean on a very […]
