Friday 22nd July 2011 The sun is blasting through the bedroom window and today is cruise day! Its still early at 5.30 am but things to do, last minute checks to make, and before I knew it we were in the car and heading for Southampton. Arrived at Ocean Terminal at 11.20am which wasn’t bad [...]
When it comes to Southampton hotels there is a new one on the block, and I recently had the pleasure of staying there, and it really was a pleasure! Being a frequent visitor to Southampton I have stayed at most of the hotels that Southampton has to offer. They range from the very basic budget [...]
I recently had the opportunity to go onboard Grand Princess in Southampton and take a look at all the changes that had taken place during the recent refit.

The journey to Southampton was a little touch and go at one stage. Time wasn’t on our side, and circumstances meant we had to cut our timing quite fine. My heart sank when the traffic ground to halt on the M40. Oh no, how long would we be sat here. We could miss the whole [...]

I have been back from Azura for 2 weeks now and it feels like months. It doesn’t take long for reality to kick in does it? If you hadn’t already gathered it from reading my blogs of the cruise, it really was an excellent Caribbean cruise. The best to date for sure! We had the [...]
Have I really only been back in the UK a little over a week? The Caribbean sunshine seems as if it was months ago! Catch up with the last two days at sea before our day in Barbados, and the journey home.
Two fab days in Curacoa and Aruba. Ventura and Azura had a rendevouz in Aruba, and there was a lot of love in the air!
We are having simply the best time ever onboard P&O Azura. I can highly recommend a Caribbean Cruise in January. What a way to start the year. Hope you are enjoying the updates from the hot and sunny Caribbean. Catch up with our adventures in Tortola and a typical day at sea.
Thursday 13thJanuary 2011 - St Maarten I woke up to my idea of port hell this morning! 6 ships were scheduled to be berthed and the late arrival of the monster Allure of the Seas had delayed everyones berthing times. Captain Paul did not sound like a happy man to be kicked into last position [...]

I have had the pleasure of visiting both Cunard Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth over the last week. Both ships are looking extremely festive with their wonderful Christmas decorations and Christmas trees around every corner.
