Aurora New Year Thursday 27th December 2007 Well, after a mad scramble the night before to get Christmas back in the loft, do the packing and make sure all was well at home we feel the need for a nother cruise. It doesn’t matter how many cruises we have, nothing can stop me from getting [...]

Hi All Sorry I didn’t tell you all about my little weekend away on Aurora, but originally it was to have been a surprise Wedding anniversary present for Mr C (2 years this year) but as someone who shall remain nameless (clue – begins with C ends in A) found out some how and decided [...]

I know what your thinking- she went on alot of cruises in December 07. the answer is simple “yes i did” I think that has to be one of the best short cruises that we have ever done with P&O. Check in was already open when we arrived and we were straight onboard and the [...]

It’s the middle of the night but my alarm is telling me its time to get up and get to the airport. Funny but I don’t actually think I got any sleep! We leave for the airport at just gone 5 and then it dawns on me why I just ‘don’t do’ airports and prefer [...]

Friday 2nd November 2007 We set off for Southampton as soon as Mr C came in from work. I expected a long delayed journey by heavy traffic but in fact we were there within 2 hours and 20 minutes. Check in at the Holiday In was swift and we were given a lovely room up [...]

Saturday 11th August 2007 An early start this morning as we head off to Southampton again! I thought it best to start out early as it was probably going to be busy as we were well into holiday season. Collected Mum and loaded up the car and we were away. In just under 2 hours [...]

Tuesday 24th July 2007 – Holiday Inn Southampton – QM2 Mayflower Terminal I woke up this morning at 4.30 itching to get up and look out of the window, but somehow I just couldn’t manage it.  I drifted in and out of sleep until 6.30am before getting up and throwing back the curtains.  Wow! The [...]

Just a ship visit this one and not a proper holiday but it was nice to have a look around for the day. A rather chilly, misty Sunday morning finds me in Dover to take advantage of a tour of Crystal Symphony. She is berthed alongside the old terminal at Dover and I have to [...]

Saturday 1th May 2007 As I knew it was going to be a busy day on the motorways due to the football traffic for Wembley, and plus the fact there were 4 ships in Southampton today, I thought I had better have an early start to make sure I didn’t miss any of my Arcadia [...]
