Vasa Ghost Ship is currently a series on BBC4 - but we have been there, and show how it is close to the Abba Museum, so both can be seen in a day -

The Vasa Museum will draw you in, for numerous reasons. This ship sailed for 25 minutes, sank, was under the sea for 333 years and is now restored. The histo...

Guess the ship - it is game that only I get to play,

and sadly I can't extend to others due to the sensitive nature of it.

It goes like this, someone tags me or mentions me but doesn't give any other information about which cruise ship group they are in. Facebook sends me an email, which is rare, the email says this person has mentioned you, and that holds no information....

and the link can't work because I have so many pages and groups it just takes me to the main Doris Visits page - so I have to look at them and guess which ship they sail on.... replying to messages not sent to me by email or very directly is almost impossible for me to deal with. Or, post on the main Doris Visits FB page

Quiet season? Not the right term as it is now that the hurricanes start and the Caribbean is rocked - but it is a quiet season for cruising chat and bookings drop off. The ships go about quietly leaving the European sun and doing routes like New England, to slowly get towards the Florida sun by December. Ships in the East Med and Adriatic are doing their last weeks, and may turn to the Canaries before crossing the Atlantic. And Norway and Christmas market routes start to become the chatter - what was your favourite cruise of last year. This might have been ours.

We can't answer all messages, but some of you know we can, when available give some good answers. However, we do tend to film them or add them to our podcast which is now on YouTube. If someone says - we don't want to go there! after seeing our film. We have done our job, just as someone might say, we must add that to our bucket list. We just show you a taste of what is at the place we visit ... we find strange things like the Chi Chi fishing in St Vincent ... we explore ... jungle treks in St Lucia ... and next year we cruise to PERU ... just search Doris Visits PLUS the name of your ship or port. Please share..... Cruise with Doris Visits by reading our novels .... WHAT A RIDE THAT IS !!!! A cruise like you have never cruised .

ROME to CIVITAVECCHIA - this is in the middle - FREGENE, a beach. It is on the same train that runs between port and city, making it an option for a few days stay if you start or end your cruise at Civitavecchia... plus, we found the Stanley Tucci family restaurant on the beach. https://youtu.be/PHzdcaJcmG8
please subscribe, Doris Visits tries to add the unusual to your cruise....

Fregene, Rome, Italy, the beach and Restaurant de Stanley Tucci - we extended our stay in Rome by staying on the beach, midway between Civitavecchia and Roma...

New to cruising? It is growing at an amazing rate as others realise that ships can offer more than land based operators can do at far less. But, there are extra charges, and ships are very different. We put together a simple film of just a few of the differing ships sailing the Mediterranean this summer.
