A few days ago I watched the “P&O Cruises, Celebrating 175 Years of Heritage” DVD and it really was very interesting. The company has such a rich and deep history, a history that is still to this day portrayed onboard just in a way that is slightly more in keeping with modern times. Aside from…

Grand Event Cruise – Last Day and Disembarkation
Well, today was it, our very last day onboard Ventura and boy was I feeling the cruise blues already. I have to say this had been probably the best cruise in many ways I have ever experienced. The weather had been perfect, the ports wonderful and even better where the friendships both old and new…
Grand Event Cruise – Vigo
Today we found ourselves in Vigo, Spain, and it was to be our last port of call. Vigo again was a place I had visited many times before however, this time, it seemed a little different. Our captain announced that a lot of money had been spent regenerating the port here and I could actually…
Grand Event Cruise – Lisbon
Today we awoke to find ourselves in Portugal, well, most passengers did, I awoke to find us still on our way. I couldn’t sleep; I kept tossing and turning all night. Eventually I put the TV on in my cabin and hit channel 9 so I could see the webcam. To my delight I was…
Grand Event Cruise – Palma de Mallorca
Another port, another glorious sunny day. Welcome to Palma, one of the most popular destinations in the Balearic Islands for British holiday makers. This was my 4th visit here by cruise ship but previously I have had many a land based holiday here and in the nearby towns of Palma Nova and Magaluf. Palma is…
Grand Event Cruise – At Sea En-Route to Palma
It was once again time to spend a few days soaking up the sun and atmosphere on the ship whilst it was at sea. I think in a way everyone onboard was grateful for these next 2 days. As much as cruising is fun and we love to see these new places everyday it can…
Grand Event Cruise – Split, Croatia
Good Morning and welcome to Split, Croatia, where you can boil to death from the comfort of your very own tender boat. That was how I felt on this particular morning. There was no escape from the smothering humidity, even at night the breeze was warm. I glued my hair to my head (not literally,…
Grand Event Cruise – Venice
Today was the port of all port’s and an early one too! I dragged myself away from the comfort of my queen sized bed and made my way out onto the open decks to watch our sail into Venice. The decks were jam packed, everyone clearly wanted to catch the first glimpse of this amazing…
Grand Event Cruise – Dubrovnik, Croatia
Now this was one of the ports I was most looking forward to visiting. I had actually visited this region years ago as a child but then it was still known as Yugoslavia. The country I visited then is now known as Slovenia and is Croatia’s immediate neighbour. The sail into this port was fantastic….
Grand Event Cruise – Corfu, Greece
Today we arrived in the hot and sunny port of Corfu. I think come 9am it was already something ridiculous like 30 degrees and it was only going to get hotter! The port here was actually quite nice; it was not built up or covered in containers. It was not really a working dock at…
