Day Four – The Weather Closes In

23/12/201909/10/2023

Yet another day for the clocks to go back, so another lie in, which made my 7am gym session almost seem civilised. The gym is very busy at this time, not full, as there were free treadmills, but not far off. The swell was minimal this morning, which made my

Day Five – The Queen of Mixology

22/12/201909/10/2023

It’s a shock when the alarm goes off and you’re missing an hour because the clocks didn’t go back, even so I dragged myself out of bed and off to the gym for the next session in the futile battle over my ever expanding waistline. 45 minutes later I was

Day Six

21/12/201909/10/2023

I had a lie in today, I’ve done the gym five days straight, and it was very bumpy at 6:30 so I thought I’d give it a miss. We went to the buffet for breakfast and the selection there is very good so requested an omelette from the egg fairy.

Day Seven – Last Day Before New York

20/12/201909/10/2023

Today it’s the final sea day of the crossing, we arrive in New York at 06:30 tomorrow. Last night was extra bumpy, so much so, I was almost bumped out of bed at 03:30. It was slightly better for breakfast, but the weather screen on the cabin tv was still

Day Eight – Brooklyn Brownstones

19/12/201909/10/2023

Who’s idea was it to get up and experience the approach into New York, it all happened very early and it was a bit fresh stood out on the viewing platform on deck 13. It was all pretty spectacular though and probably worth the effort and we has excellent weather

Day Nine – Heading South

18/12/201909/10/2023

We’ve left New York, heading south for the Caribbean and already the change in temperature is noticeable, it was 22 degrees this afternoon, but it was a bit blowey, interspersed with some heavy showers. We’ve had a lazy morning, with Jane starting to calm down a bit about the burglar

Day Ten – The Sun Has Arrived !

17/12/201909/10/2023

We lost an hour last night so getting up was a little difficult, so I was sent again to the Carinthia Lounge for a yoghurt pot for Jane. I brought Jane back a bircher muesli pot, nice, and a lemongrass and tapioca pot, not so nice. The sun was out

Day Eleven – The Caribbean Beckons

16/12/201909/10/2023

Today is our last sea-day, before arriving at Road Town in Tortola tomorrow. The sun is out with a vengeance today, it’s glorious morning. So after breakfast we headed up to the Broadwalk for a bit of sunbathing. This was pretty much all we did all day, sunbathe, lunch and

Day Twelve – Tortola

15/12/201909/10/2023

It was a glorious day to be in Tortola, hot and sunny. We were up nice and early for breakfast and a quick jaunt off the ship. We don’t have any excursions booked today, so we just went for a walk around Road Town, with the intention of possibly getting

Day Thirteen – Dominica

14/12/201909/10/2023

Dominica today. We had an excursion booked to a plantation house, which unfortunately had to be cancelled because of road works, so we changed it to a Waterfalls and beach excursion instead. So it was an earlyish start, 09:10 in the Britannia for check in. We then had a slightly
