Heartwarming story of rescue
I am not sure if its because its that time of the year when we all wish good thing for everyone, but when a feelgood story comes out it is nice to recognize it. So on 30th November P&O Azura came to the rescue of three men in the Caribbean, fishermen who had apparently lost […]
Read MoreAmsterdam , worth a visit
I went to Amsterdam a few years ago for the first time and loved it, there is loads to see and do , the tram system is efficient , just beware of cyclists, there are thousands of them ! Taking a river cruise is nice, most of them have glass covers so even if the […]

We were lucky enough a few years ago to have my 50th birthday on board the Oceana , just a short trip to Bruges and back but a fantastic way to get the whole family together, after recently doing a trip to Paris for my younger sisters birthday it became apparent that restaurants do not […]
Read MoreService above and beyond
After a recent trip on Regent Seven seas I remembered some of the small things that will stick in my memory as being service above and beyond. The ladies know what it is like when we get dressed for dinner and revert to our “evening” bags which very often do not hold more than a […]

I think i am going to start my own fan club for Michael O’Leary, CEO of this much hated airline, I think he is hilarious and sometimes says things without thinking (anyone can throw the first stone there!)

After an early departure on Wednesday the 15th October we all drove down to Southampton to be met by our Royal Caribbean hosts to get on board the Fantastic Oasis of the Seas. She really is big !! 225 000 tonnes and the biggest cruise ship to sail into Southampton, what I thought a really […]

We are all individual and have our own ideas about the perfect cruise ship, some prefer the smaller more intimate with a good ratio of passenger to crew, others would prefer all the activities.
