Welcome to my travel blog. We are occasional cruisers, usually with the aim of travelling at least once each year.

 Previously I have published each cruise with a separate blog. I have now decided to combine them all in a single location. This blogs primary purpose is to keep a summary of our cruises for ourselves.
The Brisbane ship tab is a list of upcoming ships into Brisbane for the ship watcher enthusiast. The photo tab are cruise ship photos. World cruise blog tab has links to follow, making it easier if you access the blog by a mobile device and can't see my reading list on the right.

More cruise blogs to follow

I've really been spoilt this season for cruise blogs to follow. I can't thank everyone enough as I know how time consuming doing a blog on the fly while travelling, with limited internet is.
So this is a few more and a list of the current cruises in progress. Some of these blogs are from my previous posts. An interesting side note, look at how many Rick or Ricki's are cruising and blogging.

Brisbane cruise ships 26th March - 1st April 2018

There are 5 cruise ships for Brisbane this week. Two at Portside and 3 for the Multi-use terminal at Fisherman Island.
Portside viewing is easy.The Fisherman Island viewing is limited as the new BICT construction is in progress and the site closed to the public. Port of Brisbane suggests Shorncliffe pier or Nudgee beach for sightseers.Through the week the port visitor centre is open and the roof top cafe has great views of the port.
