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 …. 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 …. 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 …. I had a better sleep than our first night, I must be getting used to the new bed, it is very comfortable. My watch woke me nice and early so I could do day 2 of my health regime. The gym was nice and quiet again with only one of the treadmills in use and none of the other exercise machines. I did 25 mins of mixed fast walk and jogging which took me to 2.6 kms. I do wish I had stretched out before starting because my right
Today’s Daily Programme is here …. Today’s Menu is here …. I had had a serious accident cycling to work during lock down. I’d hit a pothole and was thrown off my bike, landing awkwardly, the head of my femur punched through my pelvis breaking it into four places. This morning was the first time on a treadmill for me since this accident, so I have decided to have a go at the couch to 5km while aboard. Needless to say I have zero fitness after three years of idleness and working from home. The gym was fairly quiet with
Day 2 Daily Programme The first night’s sleep at sea can be a bit hit and miss, what with the movement, strange sounds and the thing that got me, the aircon. I don’t know if I was snoring but I woke an 4:30 with dry throat and sore nose, and struggled to get back off after that. I did, eventually and was woken properly by Jane announcing that, wardrobes aside she really likes the PG cabin. There are lots of good points to the new cabin, yes it is smaller than the Vistas and QM2, yes the wardrobe space is
Today’s Daily Programme Can Be Found Here I had a really good sleep last night, despite almost falling out of bed, god knows what happened there. We’d turned the aircon off, and although it was quite warm in the room, it was quiet and I wasn’t all dried out when I woke. The clocks went forward overnight so we were robbed of an hour’s sleep but I had remembered to set my alarm for 6:45 UK time just to check if I wasn’t dreaming and the clocks really had gone forward. Breakfast was in the Princess Grill restaurant, and the
Today’s Daily Programme Can Be Found Here I’d forgotten to turn off my 06:45 work alarm so was woken early and after a couple of minutes deciding whether to go back to sleep I decided to get up and open the curtains out to the balcony, it was still dark, and I could see lights I assume from the Spanish coast off in the distance, we’s passed Gibraltar at 4 am so that was behind us. What was the plan for today, It was nice and sunny so the intention was to get some time in the sun up on
Today’s Daily Programme Can Be Found Here Today was a sea day after leaving Valencia last night we are sailing on a pan flat sea heading back south towards Malaga. The sun is out and it’s going to be glorious. We took breakfast as usual in the PG restaurant, bircher muesli and a scrambled egg and crispy bacon bagel. The sun was out on Deck 11, the Grills Terrace where Jane grabbed a lounger in the sun for a couple of hours chilling. It was going to be a lazy day, or at least a lazy morning. We had a
Today’s Daily Programme Can Be Found Here It was a glorious morning, clear blue skies and little wind with a sea as flat as a pancake. I’d woken early and opened the balcony curtains as they are very effecive blackouts, this allows us to wake slowly with the dawn, unless you’re lazy like me and sleep straight though until 8:45 and was nearly late for breakfast. Luckily I’m in and out of the shower in minutes and we were sitting down in the restaurant at 09;05. I love kedgeree and I’d asked the Head Waiter if it was possible to
