The clocks went forward again today, now we’re only one hour behind the UK. The weather is definitely cooling down, it was about 15 degrees when we did our mile after breakfast. As soon as I got back to the cabin I started my packing. I didn’t do too much, just clean stuff into the smaller of the two suitcases. I’ve brought a large, blue case, a smaller, red, one and a drag along of the type that you can stick in an aircraft overhead locker. I’...

Just a normal sea day today, nothing much to report. The weather is cooling down now and the sky has been overcast most of the day. The seas are calmer too. Especially after last night when there was a thump outside our window and Barbara swore! I’m guessing it was a rather large wave rather than anyone trying to get in.

Straight after breakfast we transferred our stuff from the washers to the driers. At least I’ll only have a weeks worth of laundry to do at home if I can’t get to the fun factory again this cruise.

He wasn’t as eloquent as I’d expected for a barrister, but interesting nonetheless. In the noon day announcement the ...

The first of five sea days before our last port of call. Rob was in the doghouse with Linda and was a tad hungover. The Macmillan coffee morning and auction was held on the Terrace Deck today. It wasn’t particularly well attended but still managed to raise over £1,000. At noon the clocks went forward one hour, putting us three hours behind the UK. When the clocks go back it’s done at 2:00 in the morning which gives the hard working crew an extra h...
