Carnival Liberty Day 1: A fun ship first timer

Boarding Carnival Liberty in Port Miami is an experience to say the least...but the long lines do give me a chance to take advantage of the free WiFi available!

Norwegian Sky Day 4: It’s all Greek to me

After such a jam packed day and night in Great Stirrup Cay, I was relatively glad I didn’t have too much planned for my day in Nassau, a sleep in was very much needed!

Norwegian Sky Day 3: Great Stirrup Cay

Regardless of the myriad of ports visited by cruise lines, my favourite always remains the same...a tropical island. Give me sunshine and a postcard perfect beach and I am in heaven!

Norwegian Sky, Day 2 – It’s a Freeport Life

Being a fan of spending time onboard a ship when sailing, I selected our first port of call, Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, to relax on deck and get to know the Norwegian Sky a little bit better.

QM2 – An English Restaurant?

Sometimes the English language is just too complicated. Cunard is a very English sort of shipping line (and certainly not a mere cruise line).

QM2 Down Under: Day 2 Pub Grub with a Queen

For some passengers the most British element of a QM2 cruise is the dulcet tones of the Commodore giving us the ship’s noonday position.

Imagine a restaurant that can serve 1,100 main courses in 30 minutes.

QM2 Down Under

QM2 Down Under Day 1
