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…
Grand Event Cruise – More Relaxing Sea Days
Like the first two days we were once again back at sea for another 2 days before our next port of call which would be Corfu. This would also be the start of 4 port days in a row and soaring temperatures. The weather now was absolutely perfect. Early morning “rise and shine” in order to find yourself…
Grand Event Cruise – Malaga
Today Ventura arrived in the super hot and sunny port of Malaga. I had never previously been here so was quite looking forward to some new scenery and stretching my legs for a few hours, we did have another 2 sea days after this port so I wanted to savour my land time. We left…
Grand Event Cruise – At Sea
The first 2 days onboard were spent at sea and after the partying from the day and night before I think everyone onboard was glad to be able to put their feet up for a short while and just relax. Although the Grand Event had been just that we are only human and a lazy…
Embarkation Day – The P&O Cruises Grand Event
Today started pretty early for me, 3.45am to be exact. I met my coach at 5.15am and we were on our way to Southampton. The trip down was as good as can be expected from a 7 hour journey. We made pretty good time, actually arriving early into Southampton by roughly 30 minutes or so….
