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…
Barcelona, Spain – Day 8
Today was our final port of call, finally the sun was shining and it was and hot day in Barcelona. We woke early in order to get off more or less as soon as the ship had docked; today was the day I wanted to get off and then back to soak up some sun….
Cannes, France – Day 7
Today we awoke from our slumber anchored just off the coast of Cannes, France. I never get bored with these tender ports, especially the ones on the French Riviera, they are breath taking. Although Cannes is wonderful I think my favourite would have to be Villefranche, simply beautiful. So as mentioned it is a tender…
Day at Sea Then Buongiorno Italia – Day 5/6
Day 5 was a wonderful and SUNNY sea day! It was also the day when the upper half of my body would turn a nice burned red colour……ahhhh, no cruise would be complete without sunburn and so the fun began. Today was also the day of the infamous passengers Vs crew pool activities, always a…
Cartagena – Day 4

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…
Bon Voyage
This time tomorrow I shall be on board P&O Cruises Oceana as we get ready to set sail on a 12-night Mediterranean adventure. I guess that means today I really need to screw my head on and get organised. I haven’t been quite as organised as usual this time round, why, I have no idea…

The news was announced Saturday by Costa Crociere and the Costa Concordia Emergency Commissioner’s Office. A US owned company, Titan Salvage, based in Pompano Beach, Florida, has been awarded the contract in partnership with Italian…
Oh, To Be Richard Fain
Yesterday, out of nowhere I suddenly thought to myself Richard Fain, Chairman and CEO, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd, really does have what I would consider an awesome role in life. OK so I am sure he does push a few papers and has to attend some “boring” meetings occasionally but, overall you have to admit…
