PIRATE COVE IS THE NEXT HOT DESTINATION. Movie-goers in the US have responded to a recent travel survey, saying they would most like to visit “Whitecap Bay” out of Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides, above any other destination showcased in the current slew of blockbusters. Whitecap Bay, the fictitious body of water surrounding an un-named bay inhabited by slightly menacing mermaids, plays a starring role in the latest Pirate’s movie, as the pirate cove in which Captain Jack Sparrow, Black Beard and Barbossa visit whilst sailing On Stranger Tides to discover the fountain of youth. In the real world Whitecap Bay is actually closer to most peoples reach, being that filming for the Whitecap Bay scenes was undertaken in Halona Cove on Oahu, whilst some sandy shots were also taken in Puerto Rico and other parts of the Hawaiian Islands. A NEW TARGET MARKET FOR CRUISE LINES? There seems to be a growing number of travellers who like to take their pets away with them, including one English lady, Jane Hartley, who made headlines recently after she revealed she likes to take her pet parrots on ski holidays to the Alps. Hartley told media that she does not like to keep her birds in a cage, and as such they routinely join her on the morning and afternoon school runs, shopping trips, bicycle rides and family holidays. When skiing, Hartley tucks the birds into special pockets in her outfit to keep them toasty and happy. A NEW TARGET MARKET FOR CRUISE LINES?

THE POWER OF NATURE. Yesterday locals at Avoca Beach on the NSW central coast were treated to a rare viewing of a sea twister. Created when rapidly rotating columns of air form underneath cloud coverage and cause air pressure and temperature to drop to create spinning cylinders of condensation, waterspouts are rarely seen on the NSW central coast - except for yesterday, when four mighty tornados were spotted by passers-by.

Destiny will be rock and rolling all night, with a planned upcoming charter by 1970s rockers Kiss. The forthcoming four day Kiss Kruise is scheduled to depart Miami on 13 Oct and visit Half Moon Cay and Nassau, with pre-registrations open to members of the Kiss Army Fan Club. It’s a long way from Detroit Rock City to a Caribbean cruise, and the move probably reflects the fact that most hard core Kiss fans are definitely entering an ageing demographic. The Kiss Kruise is expected to be opened up to general sale on 07 June.

Last week, chefs throughout Carnival Corporation’s fleet of ships (which includes P&O, Princess Cruises, Cunard Line, Seabourn, P&O Cruises World Cruising, Costa Cruises and Carnival Cruise Lines vessels), were kept busy by each crafting their version of the biggest and best cake, to celebrate the deliveryof the company’s 100th ship, Carnival Magic.

CRUISING FROM HOME. An inventive cruise enthusiast, Carrie Duwelius, has won a US only competition run by Carnival, by creating a cruise ship out of everyday items. The Build a Ship competition, run by Carnival, asked contestants to fashion their very own vessel out of materials that they could scrounge up from their own home. For her entry Carrie crafted a large 2D vessel using cardboard and various other household items, which was then voted by the public as the best vessel on show. For every entry and every vote, Carnival donated US$1 to the US St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. For her efforts Carrie won her family a seven-day Caribbean cruise onboard Carnival Magic. Carrie’s entry is pictured below. CRUISING FROM HOME. An inventive cruise enthusiast, Carrie Duwelius, has won a US only competition run by Carnival, by creating a cruise ship out of everyday items.

If you think the view from the top deck of a cruise ship is impressive, then you will be left speechless by footage captured by astronauts on the International Space Station. Captured by the astronauts of Expedition 30, the still life photographs include shots of the sparkling lights of major cities, flashing thunderstorms over Africa, and the green glow of the Aurora Australis over the Indian Ocean. The shots have since been collated together as one four-minute moving picture of the earth from 400kms above. To view the video CLICK HERE.

Celebrity chef Cat Cora raised a laugh from audience members at the Christening of her Goddaughter, Oceania Cruises’ Riviera, with her quip “I want to say as the mother of four boys- finally I have a girl! And isn’t she a beauty”. According to Oceania Cruises Founder, Frank Del Rio, Cora was chosen by the cruise line for the honour of Godmother because “we wanted someone whose life achievements, whose passions and whose values aligned with those of the Oceania brand”. “Being a cruise line for foodies, we quickly zeroed in on this remarkable woman,” he added. Chef Cora is pictured right with her new, rather large, baby girl. IT’S a girl!
