Disembarkation Southampton – Sunday December 1st – Day 15

07/12/202407/12/2024

It’s always sad to be leaving the ship, more so when you’ve been having an excellent cruise. Typically we slept in on our last morning, breakfast was an early affair ending at 08:30 so it was a  bit of a rush getting in the shower, dressed and everything stashed in

Greek Islands – Embarkation – Day 1 – 1st Oct

23/10/202323/10/2023

It had been a stressful night on Saturday, the train strike had caused issues getting Raffy to the dog sitter’s, and Jane wasn’t able to drop him off until after 8pm, which meant that our travel plans of driving down to Southampton were postponed until this morning and all the

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

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

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
