-Drinks Under Lock and Key_

On a recent Galley Tour on the Pacific Aria, we were interested to find a little room, which almost looked like a prison cell. It was locked so that no one could access it during the day. I can only imagine how busy it would be at peak service time!

-Spa-

Relax in the spa! I don’t know about you, but I just love relaxing in the spa. It’s not very often you get the whole one to yourself, so if you do, enjoy! This was on a recent cruise and on a port day. Almost everybody was off the ship (as you can see it […]

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone. This is my mother in law who is currently sailing on P&O’s Pacific Dawn. We love how the ship gets right in and decorates for all special occasions.

Lifejacket Drill Selfie

Cruising is about having fun. One thing we do on every cruise, is right after the muster (also known as the Lifejacket Drill), we take a selfie. Its very interesting going back over our past cruise pictures and seeing a similar picture every time.

Christmas in July Cruise

Lynda from Cruise Review talks about Christmas in July Cruise. What is it? Christmas in July is starting to be a tradition in the Southern Hemisphere, one that I have not really participated in, as after all there is only one Christmas right ? As July is generally the coldest month in Australia, somewhere along recent […]
