Thompson's Dream Cruises

A few months ago two of the Thomson ships underwent Platinum makeovers.  Thomson Celebration and Dream were the two lucky ladies to be treated to a new contemporary look and feel plus some exclusive extras! All of the cabins have now had refurbs and you can expect to find clean-cut,…

I know it's a bit late for Halloween but I saw this the other day and just had to share. Apparently, the Queen Mary (still owned by Cunard Line) is the most haunted ship of all time.  After being retired in 1967, she was permanently moored in California and is…

So, a little birdie tells me that RCI are going to be making a big announcement on 21st November to the UK market.  We know that they're launching two new ships - Anthem of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas. I'm rather excited and hoping they're going to bring…

I am completely overwhelmed by the responses I've had to my last blog post!  So many of you have emailed me or sent me messages thanking me for the small insight I offered into our world and also, for bringing up this point.  Seems a lot of people had been…

The choice of…

We all know how stressful and time consuming planning a wedding can be.  And also, how much it can cost to have a Wedding Planner do it all for you.  Trust me, I've been there. This is probably the reason that so many people are now choosing to get married…

As I've stated in previous posts, I've recently been on 2 ship visits with Oceania - a six-star cruise line.  On 10th August it was the Marina and Tuesday, it was the Nautica. The ships themselves are beautiful and the staterooms and Suites are some of the best I've seen.…

As I stated in my previous blog post, I'm off to see the Oceania Nautica on Tuesday 27th August.   I'm really interested to see how the two compare and the differences between the two. Nautica is a smaller ship (just over 30,000 gross tonnes) than the Marina (60,000 gross…
