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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Wednesday 27th December 2006 Christmas has been and gone and its time to cruise.  The taxi arrives on time, but I admit to feeling a bit flustered and rushed, but we are soon  on the motorway heading for  Southampton.  At this point Im feeling a bit like the Mum from Home Alone, and Im frantically [...]

Monday 10th April Oh yes, at last the day has arrived and we are going on Aurora (again) Yippee!  The mini coach arrives on the dot of 9.15 and we are loaded up and ready to leave within minutes.  Off to collect Mum & Jack then all back on board the bus, until cries from [...]

Tuesday 27th December 2005. Wow, woke up this morning to a fine sprinkling of snow. Am I the only one that’s excited because nobody else is up and the mini coach should be here at 9.30am. Decide to check on Lizy at 8.15am and she’s casually lying in bed watching TV! At 9.15am im still [...]

Sunday 27th November 2005 The day has arrived and we have a surprise to spring. Luke comes downstairs in his new football strip hoping to have a game later but we have other ideas. It doesn’t quite sink in when we tell him he can play football if he likes but we are going on [...]
