Saturday 22nd May 2010 This cruise has been a long time coming. Its been so busy of late that I have had little time to think about it, but the day has arrived. Todys cruise is even more special because Mum is coming with us, that means military precision packing of the car with cases, [...]

I want you to read this fantastc review, written by one of my clients on her return from Celebrity Eclipse yesterday….. Wow, wow, wow – that was the theme of the weekend recently spent on the Celebrity Eclipse.”I feel like this is my first cruise – it is so amazing” was a comment by one [...]

It seems like many moons ago since I set foot onboard the brand new Azura but she has still left a big impression on me even three weeks later. Many people were expecting ‘just another Ventura’ but I had always hoped she would be more, and she didn’t disappoint. We arrived at Ocean Terminal and [...]

Friday 12th February 2010 I didn’t think we were arriving late for our 11.00am check in at Birmingham airport, but clearly 4 hours before checking for our 11.00am flight was not early enough. When we arrived  there was a small queue for the health declarations prior to check in, but just at the time they [...]

We stood in ore as drank our champagne looking out into the Grand [...]

I’ve been a busy bee of late and have just returned from a fantastic cruise onboard Arcadia. Of course I have written one of my very long day by day accounts of the whole cruise, and it got off to quite an eventful start! Tuesday 30th June 2009 After 2 hours and 20 minutes in [...]

Has it really only been 8 weeks since we returned from the winter Wonderland cruise? It seems like a long distant memory. And now here we are about to embark on something which is a complete contrast to the ice cold climes of the Fjords and Baltic in December. Tomorrow we fly to the Barbados [...]

I am very grateful to one of my clients for sending me this wonderful review of the Oriana New Year Iberian Celebration cruise. It is a cruise I have done many times myself, but this year decided to give it a miss in favour of another cruise (so many cruises, so little time!) Neil has [...]
