Today’s Daily Programme is here …. Today’s Menu is here …. It’s going to be a very quiet day today, I’ve seen 66% of the insights lectures on my last cruise, so there wasn’t a lot of appeal in seeing them again. I do have a TV series on a USB stick that Jane hasn’t seen, so after breakfast we watched the first episode back in the room before heading down to the Grills Lounge to get a couple of takeaway cappuccinos. We walked around the Promenade deck for a short while but showers kept blowing in cutting that short.

Today’s Daily Programme is here …. Today’s Menu is here …. The Captain announced our arrival into Cadiz early on Wednesday morning, but I’d have to take his word on that as there was the thickest pea-souper of a fog in Cadiz and it wasn’t possible to see anything beyond the ship. QM2 was going to undergo a deep cleanse while in port and guests were asked to vacate their staterooms between 10:00 and 13:00. To accommodate this there was an early breakfast from 07:30 until 09:00. We were not doing any excursions so after breakfast we headed out into
Today’s Daily Programme is here …. Today’s Menu is here …. We lost an hour overnight with the clocks going forward in anticipation and arrival at Cadiz, and after a leisurely breakfast, we headed up to the Grills Terrace to get some of the last sunshine. It was nice when the sun was out, but very fresh whenit went behind a cloud, as the wind was fresh. When it got too cold, we went down to the Grills Lounge for a coffee to warm up. After lunch in the QG dining room we went back up to the terrace hoping
Today’s Daily Programme is here …. Today’s Menu is here …. We arrived in Arricife, Lanzarote just as I was heading out for my daily run, down in the gym. We had decided to go out into Arricife for a walk, to grab some coffee, and possibly have lunch out. Because of this we didn’t want to leave the ship too early as it was we left about 10:45 to walk into Arricife. The walk in was pleasant, as it was flat and not too busy and we walked through the marina so there was plenty to see and even
Today’s Daily Programme is here …. Today’s Menu is here …. We had an early start because we were going on a tour out to do some whale watching with a coach leaving at 8:45. So we gave the restaurant breakfast a miss and we had breakfast in the room. It’s all very nice but sitting down at a little table. Eating breakfast in the room is not the easiest thing on the planet to do, even in Queens Grill where you have a table and a Butler to lay it all out for you. As it was Jane wasn’t
Today’s Daily Programme is here …. Today’s Menu is here …. La Palma is a very pretty place, we’d arrived before my alarm clock went off, I’d obviously slept through it again and then I remembered, my alarm doesn’t go off on weekends. So that’s two days I’ve missed going to the gym and I’m on a trip tomorrow and I’ll miss it again tomorrow. We had nothing special planned in La Palma, so we had decided after breakfast just to walk into town. Have a look around, grab a coffee and then walk back again. That’s exactly what we
Today’s Daily Programme is Here …. Today’s Menu is Here …. We’d had a huge meal in the Verandah restaurant yesterday, and I was still feeling incredibly full, this wasn’t helped by the fact that I’d missed my alarm and slept right through breakfast. The breakfast bit didn’t really matted as I wasn’t feeling particularly hungry, but I’d missed my morning run, ah well! After a quick shower we headed out to beimn the long trek back into town. We’d decided that we quite fancied eating out, maybe some Piri-Piri down by the Market. When we arrived in Funchal proper,
Today’s Daily Programme is Here …. Today’s Menu is Here …. It was still dark as I made my way down to the gym, it’s not getting any easier, especially after all the excitement of yesterday. We’d already docked so at least the treadmill would be nice and stable for a change. I returned to the room after my run bearing a gift of a yoghurt and granola pot from the Kings Court buffet. After breakfast, we headed into Funchal with no real purpose other than to have a mooch around and possibly get some olives for snacking on. It’s
Today’s Daily Programme is here ….. Today’s Menu is here …. It was a lumpy old night on the way from Lisbon. We’d had some engine issues which delayed our departure until after 10pm and as we went out into the Atlantic it got a bit bumpy at around 3am. I gave the gym a miss as I’m not a fan of finding myself in mid-air whilst running on the treadmill, as it was I’d be walking the length of the ship several times during the day. As part of the wedding package we had a Champagne Breakfast in our
Today’s Daily Programme is here ….. Today’s Menu is here …. We had a bit of a bump in the night, I’d washed out my aluminium water bottle and left it upside down on the side to dry, well the bump in the night caused it to fall over and crash to the floor waking Jane and scaring her half to death. I managed to maintain my new healthy regime by making it to the gym again before breakfast. I stretched out my hamstrings before waddling onto the treadmill and my hamstrings were less painful than the previous session. Jane
