    Coach to Southampton

    October 1, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    The coach trip to Southampton was really good and comfortable. The time passed really quickly due to chatting with a couple we met from Liverpool (Paul & Janet O'Shaugnessey) I've probably spelled that wrong! On arrival at the port the embarcation was brilliant, smooth quick and efficient. Probably the best we've ever had.Read more

  • Onboard Celebrity Apex

    October 6, 2024 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

    First impressions of the ship are good, it is quite big and looks quite different with the magic carpet bars on the side.
    Having said that it's big, at 130,000 tons it's 20,000 tons smaller than the Independence of the seas.
    Anyway upto now I've not bothered getting off the ship at Madeira or Tenerife, choosing to chill out on board instead.
    Today which is day 6 we are in Gran Canaria and for me it might be more of the same, as in chilling out on board. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said it's about the journey not the destination, or something like that!
