    🌊 Kattegat

    Al(most) at Sea

    Yesterday, Kattegat ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

    We were surprised that we didn't port today until 3pm in Copenhagen. Mildly irritating given that P&O ports are almost always 9-5. Worse still, we depart at 3pm tomorrow, and all the museums are shut on Mondays!!

    But, we took the opportunity to have a lazy, almost-at-sea day. We enjoyed breakfast in a window seat of the waiter-service restaurant, crib in the Crow's Nest and lunch overlooking the stern in the Pennant Bar. Creative Waves onboard crafters had an afternoon origami class and we walked away with hearts , frogs, butterflies and more, all whilst enjoying a pint and the sail into Copenhagen port.

  • At Sea in the North Sea

    December 20, North Sea ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Breakfast in bed to start the day, before going and hearing a talk from a former prison governor. We spent a relaxing day between the cabin and the ship facilities, playing a few games of crib over a pint in the Crow's Nest, before the black tie Celebration Evening. A free drink in Carmen's for the Captain's welcome, before a fantastic dinner made for a lovely evening. We hadn't realised we were so late into Copenhagen tomorrow, not arriving until 3pm. However hopefully it'll make for an interesting sail into port.Read more

  • Straight outta Southampton

    December 19 in England ⋅ 🌙 9 °C

    An unusually adventurous journey down to Southampton as Ben noticed the bonnet on my car wasn't latching properly, prompting an unplanned hard shoulder stop. In Southampton, we visited our traditional start-of-holiday pub, and enjoyed a couple of pints at the Dancing Man before taxi-ing to Mayflower Terminal. Mum and Kev entertained the shore staff, having accidentally printed their boarding passes in A3!

    Our lovely cabin overlooks the Terrace Pool, and after we unpacked we wandered the ship, reacquainting ourselves. We sailed out of Southampton earlier than we'd expect normally, which meant we got some beautiful sunset views. Dinner was on a shared table of 8 which is a bit disappointing but the food was fabulous.
