Read MoreTraditional cruising losing its way?
When I use to think of cruising I use to think of the traditional cruises were all about the fine dining and the dressing up on formal nights. With so many cruise lines and many with their own unique style, are we losing touch with what cruising use to be about? I appreciate not everyone […]
Read MoreWomen only and the Solo traveller
I came across this recently that the first Women’s only cruise has been announced. I’m not sexist by any means but is this a bit much? I appreciate everywhere you go there’s women only. You can look up your local swimming bath and they have sessions women only. You can apply for driving lessons and have […]
Read MoreHow much did you pay?

I have to say this was a total nightmare and completely disorganised by Royal Caribbean. As much as I do like to praise Royal Caribbean for their ships, food, service, entertainment and so […]
Read MoreMy first Transatlantic.
I’ve just returned from my first transatlantic cruise. I’ve always wanted to sail into the U.S.A and fly home. To say I’ve been and seen my friends across the pond without flying. I have to say i did really enjoy it. I very much liked the ship. There were a couple of hiccups and if […]
Read MoreMy first Transatlantic Cruise
It’s holiday time for me and my “Out of office” is set. I’m in holiday mode. I’m about to embark The Navigator of the seas. Which just happens to be my most favourite ship to date. That said it’s been 10 years since I sailed on her. I’ve never done a transatlantic cruise before and […]
