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….
A Grand Event
I am now onboard P&O Cruises Ventura looking forward to a damp but great Grand Event sailaway. The weather is pretty bleak but the atmosphere is electric. Everyone onboard Ventura at least is in good spirits. All seven ships are here, obviously! and soon each will set sail ready for the fleet review. My journey…

Solo Cruise Preparation
This time on Tuesday I shall be in Southampton, a hopefully sunny Southampton (keep your fingers crossed!) either on board or just about to board P&O Cruises Ventura. This cruise will definitely be a little different from what I am used too but I am secretly looking forward to having a cabin all to myself,…
Cruising Is An Education Too
A cruise is many things. Of course it is a holiday, a time to relax and re-charge your batteries. The opportunity to do nothing at all if you wish or to be a complete adrenalin junkie and do everything you possibly can. For me though cruising has also been a bit of an education. Before…
Let’s Talk About Gratuities
Recently on #CruiseChat the topic of discussion was gratuities. I think this will always be a sensitive subject when it comes to cruising but it was a great opportunity to see other people’s points of view. Those who took part either work within cruise travel or they simply enjoy cruising as a form of holiday….
Fourteen Days Until The Grand Event
It is getting ever closer, there are now only 2 weeks left until the P&O Cruises Grand Event and obviously my cruise! Now comes the time when one must set aside non important tasks and focus on what really needs to be done. That would be ironing, buying more shoes, deciding whether to take 2…
