A Working Cruise - The Tropical West Caribbean

Image
Fitness in the Caribbean It has been a great year for working onboard cruise ships and it is not over yet. I have sailed all around the Mediterranean this Spring and Summer and now the winter months are here I am heading off to the Caribbean. I have not sailed on this ship for two years so it is nice to be on her once more. I love these smaller ships. They are cosy, classic and classy vessels with lots of small venues and comfortable public areas. With less passengers there is so much attention to detail and a fantastic service provided. I enjoy working for this company as I know the passengers and crew and it always feels like coming home. I embarked on the ship after 1pm and my cabin was ready as soon as I was onboard. I am so lucky to have a passenger cabin with a balcony. There is plenty of room in these cabins for all my fitness equipment as well as the dresses, handbags and shoes I bring with me. This ship continues a true cruising lifestyle with smart/casual and formal night...

Madeira - Friends Travelling Together

 Madeira - Time to Relax and have Fun I love Madeira. It is an island full of stunning landscapes, ocean vistas and rich in culture. I am always working when I visit this island and the visits are usually no more than two days. I am about to embark on a holiday with my crazy friend who has never been to Madeira. We went on holiday a couple of years ago to Santorini and had such a great time together, we decided to do it again.  Madeira is a Portuguese island located in the Atlantic Ocean. Madeira has a sub-tropical climate with stunning flora and some of the best scenery in Europe. The island is mountainous so there are some breath-taking ocean views and the vibrant colours of the exotic flowers and emerald green foliage flow seamlessly into the dazzling blues of the ocean.  Vista views all around the Island The adventure started at Bournemouth International Airport for our flight to Madeira. The flight was on time and we arrived into Funchal at 7pm. The hotel we stayed ...

Cruising - A Way of Living Life to the Full

Image
Life is Good at Sea Just 3 weeks ago I was disembarking this very ship and now I am here again living this wonderful life, seeing the world and enjoying the luxuries of this beautiful vessel. I will, as always, be visiting some amazing destinations too. My last working cruise  sailed to the Western Mediterranean and Italy and it was magical for me. I escorted some incredible excursions in all of the ports and had so much fun with the passengers. This cruise has a similar itinerary as we are sailing to enjoy the highlights of Italy and the Mediterranean . There are some new ports that I have not visited before so I am really excited and feeling energised for new sights and experiences. Sometimes I am allocated a Passenger cabin with a balcony, depending on whether the ship is full. For this cruise I have an Entertainers cabin at the forward of the ship. I actually love these cabins as they have the most amazing picture window and the view is quite breathtaking. I have a full view o...
