The Grand Princess - After her refurbishment

I came back from a day visit to the Grand Princess recently but have only just managed to upload all of the pictures so I thought I'd share them all with you. Of all the ships I've ever visited it was the Grand Princess I was least sure about. All the other ships I've visited I had a clear idea of what to expect but with the Grand Princess all I knew was that she was quite an old ship that had never the less just gone through a massive refurbishment.

Suffice to say, (as you'd expect from any cruise ship), I was really impressed with her.

The River Cruise Line - The Switzerland II

I've just got back from the ACE river cruise expo, (#rivercruiseexpo if you're on Twitter), and wanted to tell you about some of the ships I've seen. I had the amazing opportunity of seeing six different river cruise ships all owned and operated by six different cruise lines in the space of about three or four hours.
For that reason, (as we were being hurried around them a little), some of these posts about the different ships may not be as detailed as they always are and some of the pictures might not be the best in the world. They will however, (I hope), give you a taste of what each ship is like and let you judge the 'personality' of each ship.

Uniworld - SS Antoinette

If you've been following my blog over the last week or so you'll have noticed I've been a bit quiet for the last seven days. I haven't been ignoring you - I've been enjoying a river cruise along the Rhine on the SS Antoinette run by Uniworld. I wanted to do a day by day account of the cruise for you here but unfortunately the ships Wi-fi didn't like my blog address. I did however manage to write the day by day account on our cruise forum which you can read here.
You can read all about the ship and what I thought of the excursions and ship-board life but unfortunately, again because of the Wi-fi speed I couldn't upload many photos so I thought I'd give you a bit of a pictorial tour of the ship here.
