All around Cuba

One blog for the 2 sea days as we make our way around Cuba heading for Montego Bay, Jamaica. Yesterday everyone was tired after the long day in Port Everglades, plus the sun had gone into hiding, so it was pretty quiet around the ship, though classes were as busy as ever! Last night’s entertainment…

Is She? Isn’t She?

Second time I’ve been to the Bahamas, second time I haven’t got off. We have absolutely no idea why we were unable to get off in Freeport today.

Made it!

A Grand Day in Grand Turk

Not in the Caribbean, but often on a Caribbean cruise, the tiny Atlantic island of Grand Turk is an unspoilt gem which captivates me as a space nerd, an artist and a tourist! In 1962 Astronaut John Glenn splashed down just off the coast, leaving the area littered with space memorabilia. This recreation of his…

Solo Travel? You got a friend in Fred

So I did a cruise review, it went a bit potty, 1200 people have read it!!! In it I said that the particular cruise line didn’t do a lot for the solo traveller, so of course I was asked which lines did I’ve been fortunate enough to sail on a lot of lines, sometimes solo,…
