Sailing with Holland America on Noordam to New Zealand provided a playground of possibilities for this cruise loving family. Setting sail on a luxurious 14-night cruise down the East Coast of Australia and around New Zealand with Holland America proved a huge surprise to both me and the kids. The good ship Noordam is a little […] Read more…
After almost two years of pandemic-paralysed travel, the kids are itching to get out and explore the world again. So where to next? Rome, Paris, London? Nah. While I’m sure they wouldn’t say no, what they are really dreaming of is sailing the high seas, and who can blame them? PO Cruise time is the […] Read more…
Written in Collaboration with Cruise1st Australia We’re a family of avid cruisers and have sailed far and wide. But one of our all-time favourite ports is busy, buzzy Ho Chi Minh City (the former Saigon). Famous for the pivotal role it played in the end of Vietnam War, the city is now the country’s pulsing […] Read more…
Disguising myself with my darkest glasses and a wide brimmed hat, I slip unnoticed into the shadows as my kids bury the body. Ummm… maybe I should rephrase that. It’s barely 10am, and with the sun’s heat already pounding onto the white powdery sand of Maré’s Yejele Beach, I’m determined to nab a shady spot so […] Read more…
Imagine an all-inclusive island holiday where instead of long sleepless flights, tedious waits in transit with tantrum-chucking tots and tweens and stodgy, dodgy airplane food, you wake to a new location every day in your own bed, with an incredible variety of fun activities and a surplus of dining options at your disposal? It may […] Read more…
Cruising and the Eats Worlds are a bit of an unlikely combo. I mean, while the kids and Mr Eats Worlds love a leisurely loll around a pool, I’m more of a hard-core traveller. I’m always desperate to explore new things and have a tendency to get bored if I sit still for more than 30 […] Read more…
My scurvy wee scourges of the seven seas are fanatical fans of cruise holidays. So, on the eve of Australia’s 2015 summer cruise season, able seaman Raffles gets the inside story on family fun afloat from Jennifer Vandekreeke, Vice President of Carnival Cruise Line in Australia. Over to the cruisome twosome… Though we didn’t leave […] Read more…
Imagine waking up with a different view every day, snorkelling before breakfast, breathing in salty sea air, and relaxing as the sun sets over the water while you nosh on seafood and guzzle a glass of wine, or five. Something a little like this… Nice huh? Could it even be the perfect way to see the Whitsundays […] Read more…
“Avast me hearties, let’s commandeer the ice-cream machine” squeals rapscallion Raffles, as soon as we board Radiance of the Seas. His swashbuckling sibling, Sugarpuff, hearing only the words “ice” and “cream,” draws her imaginary cutlass in readiness to storm the soft-serve station with her roguish brother. I suspect my small scourges of the seven seas […] Read more…
Raffles, Sugarpuff and I are sitting by the Harbour waving our old friend and resident megaship, Carnival Spirit, out of Sydney. It’s been a wee while since our clan of clowns ran away to join her cruising circus but watching folk frolicking merrily on deck as she sails gracefully away has us reminiscing about our own […] Read more…
My kitchen is quite small. And when I say ‘small’ I mean that if it belonged to a guy he’d be buying a monster truck to compensate… if you catch my drift. I’ve always said it’s not the size that matters, it’s what you do with it that counts. Of course, I’ve usually been lying. […] Read more…
“Mama, I think it grew!” announces Raffles, stupefied, as we prepare to board Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas in Singapore. This isn’t our first voyage on this lovely lady but her enormous bulk is no less impressive the second time around. In fact, I think we’d all forgotten just how buxom a beauty she […] Read more…
