We love cruising and specifically we love cruising with Cunard. These blogs are intended for my own consumption, but they can also act as a repository of useful cruising knowledge for people wanting to cruise with Cunard.

2023 QV Greek Islands 2023 Sea Days

Heading South – Day 2 – 2nd Oct

22/10/202323/10/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here…. We seem to have got a wriggle on since leaving Southampton and according to the Navigation information on the stateroom TV we are just south of the Bay of Bengal. A quick look out beyond the balcony shows that not to be true

Heading to Cadiz – Day 3 – 3rd Oct

21/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… The clocks went forward overnight so we lost an hour, luckily I was in bed nice and early, so when I woke early it felt like I’d had a good night’s sleep. After a quick shower we both made it up to the

Cadiz – Day 4 – 4th Oct

20/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… We’re in Cadiz today, a city we’ve visited many times, and we love it but there’s an issue. I’m full of a cold, probably the first proper cold since COVID, and I feel terrible so after a late breakfast where we were alone

Leaving Cadiz – Day 5- Oct 5th

19/10/202323/10/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… I’d had a better night’s sleep than yesterday, but for better just read an awful night’s sleep, with a pounding head, sore throat, and constant cough. I did sleep longer though so I’m feeling less drained than yesterday I dragged myself out of

En Route to Mykonos – Day 6 – Oct 6th

18/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here….. I had another terrible night’s sleep, all I could think about was I really needed a Lemsip and that the ship’s shops had nothing for cold relief, oddly they did stock tampons and condoms when I’m sure there isn’t a massive demand for

En Route to Heraklion – Day 7 – Oct 7th

18/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… It was hard losing the hour last night especially as we had a bit of  a late one (for us) but I slept far better than the previous few nights, only being woken a couple of times due to a coughing fit. We’d

Heraklion, Crete – Day 8 – Oct 8th

17/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here…. Another night and another slightly better sleep, I woke at 07:45 just as we were docking at the port of Heraklion in Crete. This is an unscheduled replacement for Mykonos where forecasted high winds made the tendering there unsafe. There’s a slight problem

Piraeus and Athens – Day 9 – Oct 9th

16/10/202323/10/2023

I slept much, much better, admittedly waking early at 06:15, to find we were already at dock in Piraeus. The view today wasn’t so nice, with the Cruise Terminal opposite. We’ve been to Athens a few times and Jane needs to get some more laundry out of the way, plus

Santorini – Day 10 – Oct 10th

15/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… It was bright and sunny this morning and when I opened the curtains of the stateroom we were already in Santorini. I’d have said moored up, but as the bay at Santorini is 400 meters deep, I think that is beyond our anchor

Cephalonia Bound – Day 11 – Oct 11th

14/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… Today is our first sea day for what seems like an age but is only 4 days, so after a good nights sleep it was back to planning my morning. First we had to get breakfast out of the way so we had
