SHORE tour of a different nature. Cruisers visiting Mare, P&O’s new Pacific Island destination, are being won over by a coconut coloured dog with a taste for the tropics. The pup spends her days happily leaping off a rocky outcrop into the waters of Tadine Bay to fetch falling coconuts which she then carries across sharp rocks to one of her husk coloured “workshops”. Here, she uses her teeth and paws to rip away the tough outer shell, a job usually reserved for a machete, to get to the sweet coconut meat and juice. SHORE tour of a different nature.

P&O Cruises’ chefs have added a bit of pomp and ceremony onboard Pacific Jewel, Pacific Pearl, Pacific Sun and Pacific Dawn, cooking up special Union Jack cakes to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Guests celebrated the Queen’s 60 year reign whilst cruising around Australia and the Pacific Islands, tucking into the Diamond Jubilee cakes and enjoying some good old fashioned Royal bunting (pictured below).

DISNEY Cruise Lines set a record last weekend in New York, when the Disney Magic arrived in the Big Apple sporting the world’s biggest bumper sticker. The massive sticker, pictured below, measures 11 x 50 feet - bigger than a city bus - and says ‘Disney + NYC = Magic’. The stunt was to mark the beginning of Disney’s first-ever cruise holidays based out of Manhattan.

HUMANS aren’t the only mammal to love the water. A team of 17 water loving pooches has set the Guinness World Record for surfing at the annual Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition in San Diego. More than 50 doggie surfers hit the waters in the hopes of securing their place in the annals of dog surfing, but it was the 17-strong team of miscellaneous dogs that took out the record for the most dogs surfing on a single board.

DAWN sees guests gather in Gallipoli on the Sun. Hundreds of guests onboard Sun Princess gathered at the break of daylight to remember the thousands of Australian and NZ soldiers who fought at Gallipoli in 1915. The moving service was led by Captain Andrew Froude and priest Kevin Taylor whilst Sun sailed the waters of Anzac Cove on Turkey’s Gallipoli Peninsula. The service (pictured below) included a tribute sung by around 140 members of the ship’s onboard passenger choir, which was followed by a wreath ceremony performed by Returned Service League official Graham Fisher, who cast a commemorative wreath on the waters of the Cove.

GOT a spare $4.6 million for a nice boat? An inventive Austrian company is hoping to lure millionaires looking for water views with a new boat, titled the Orsos Floating Island. The bulbous boat sports six luxury bedrooms, and space for 12 wealthy island residents and a staff of four. Powered by wind, water and solar energy, the sand-less island can be tailored to individual tastes, and features a sun deck area, BBQ area, 15-person jacuzzi, aquarium, storage for water sports equipment, a mooring for motor boats, a kitchen, restaurant and a bar. For those who may baulk at the price tag, it is important to note that other “floating islands” usually have a price of upwards of $100m. GOT a spare $4.6 million for a nice boat?

COMING to a cruise near you? With cruise lines constantly competing for the newest, hottest and tastiest food offerings, the latest food trend to hit the US market, Squeez Bacon- otherwise known as bacon in a bottle, may just turn up at a table onboard your next voyage. Hailed by its makers as a “breakthrough”, and dividing foodies worldwide, the bacon in a bottle has been available in Sweden since the end of WWII but has only just hit US shelves. According to the company, the bottled pork product is “fully cooked 100% bacon” which is rendered into liquid format via a patented electro-mechanical process. This process, according to Squeez Bacon, means that the liquid bacon requires no preservatives or other additives. “Each serving is as healthy as real bacon, and equivalent to 4 premium slices of bacon!,” the company said. Interestingly, Squeez Bacon has a shelf life of 12 years. COMING to a cruise near you?
