I ended part 1 with a mention of the Epicurian Restaurant, so let me pick up where I left off…. The food in the Epicurian was superb! I will share pictures soon, they are on my phone, not my camera, but to start I went for the Salt and Pepper Oyster and Jumbo Prawn Tempura…

More Ports Of Call, A Calm Biscay And Disembarkation
It’s been a while since I last checked in with you! Unfortunately I couldn’t get the ship Wi-Fi to soak up enough juice to power my blog so had to wait until I returned home before I could bring you more content. I know you are thinking the same thing, the cruise flew over! It…
It’s A P&O Cruises Thing
I look through my collection of personal photographs from cruises gone by and they show happy times with laughter, adventure, usually too much of the alcoholic stuff and the smiles of some pretty awesome crew members, and a large majority of those images are from cruises with P&O. It will come as no surprise then…
Exploring And A Change Of Itinerary
At present we are sailing through the Mediterranean Sea en route to our last port of call. There were a few white horses out there last night, nothing too drastic but enough gentle movement to remind you that you are in fact on a ship in the middle of the sea. Wonderful! Since my last…
Tomorrow Tomorrow Ventura Tomorrow, It’s Only A Day Away!
First and foremost my sincere apologies for the title of today’s blog, I was kind of “in the moment” and just couldn’t help myself! Anyway, here’s the reading bit…………….. Tomorrow is the big day!

Shore Excursion Gone Wrong
With today’s blog comes my request to you that, when on organised excursions, just make a mental note of those sitting around you so that if the guide were to miss-count you can shout out that someone is missing. Had someone done that for my friend her day may have been very different. In 2008…
Final Few Days Cruising
Days 9, 10 and 11 found us cruising the open ocean, back through the Mediterranean, the Gibraltar straight and back out into the Atlantic. I always enjoy sea days, more so in the summer months when you have a better chance of some very hot days. In this case though we couldn’t complain, we did have…
Day at Sea and the Gibraltar Approach – Day 2/3
Day 2 was finally the start of the weather starting to calm down. Although not exactly red hot the sun did briefly come out and it was pleasant walking around on the open decks (when the wind didn’t blow you off your feet of course) we were finally on our way into the warmer waters…
Bay of Biscay Crossing – Day 1
Well, I am finally back from my cruise and ready to tell you all about it! The best place to start is always at the beginning so here goes………………… So my friend and I joined P&O Cruises Oceana on April 24th, looking forward to an exciting 12-night cruise to Gibraltar, Barcelona, Cannes, Livorno (for Pisa/Florence)…
