If you had to sum up Manzanillo, Mexico in one word, it would be colourful. It seems like a long time since we were there, six days ago, but crossing the Pacific we knew to expect patchy wifi Arriving in the busy commercial port in more glorious sunshine, we decided to repeat our previous successful…

Huatulco Mexico
Birds, Beaches, Lighthouses, Old Buildings Good Friends, Good Food all things I love and all of which we found in this pretty port. We had two fabulously calm sea days after transiting the Panama Canal, filled with dolphins, flying fish, turtles, fishing sea birds and even a small pod of whales, like us, enjoying the…
A Birthday at Sea
This post finds me another year older but no wiser! Yesterday was my Birthday and we spent it at sea Up at our usual time for art class though I did find time to open my presents, and a surprise card from someone in class. I also learned to my absolute delight, that my hubby…
Bucket List ✔️ Panama Canal
I’m writing this while cruising the Pacific Ocean, watching flying fish, turtles, dolphins and loads of Brown Boobies fishing, on my birthday, having transited the Panama Canal yesterday I’m not an early riser, but I set my alarm for 5.30 and was on deck for 6.10am to hear the captains announcement that we had a…
Life’s a beach!
After a fabulous formal night last night, brilliant table companions and the Killer Queen show, one of our favourites superbly preformed we wakened to a beautiful sunny day in Jamaica We had a very lazy breakfast to let the tours and the early rush off then headed to the taxi hoping to have a wander…
All around Cuba
One blog for the 2 sea days as we make our way around Cuba heading for Montego Bay, Jamaica. Yesterday everyone was tired after the long day in Port Everglades, plus the sun had gone into hiding, so it was pretty quiet around the ship, though classes were as busy as ever! Last night’s entertainment…
Land Ahoy!
Finally made it to dry land! I’d set my alarm for 7am and by 7.30 I was down in the piano bar collecting my number for immigration, by that stage they’d already been through the pink book and I was blue ticket no 142, with disembarking guests and those on morning tours not needing tickets,…
Is She? Isn’t She?
Second time I’ve been to the Bahamas, second time I haven’t got off. We have absolutely no idea why we were unable to get off in Freeport today. According to the Captain”s regular announcements he has no idea either. He told us at one point they were in contact with the counties Deputy Prime minister….
Made it!
Last sea day before The Bahamas and I finally made it to both the pool and the gym! I also discovered the ladders on the aft pool were better as they go right to the bottom, we had lots of bird life including some brown boobies but no dolphins or sharks yet! Last nights performance…
Working Girl….
It’s official! Having completed her training today Jane is now an Escort! She’s looking forward to working on some tours from Jamaica on Last nights Barbecue was delicious served out by the pool. Having Pulse play on the back deck was maybe a bit optimistic though, the weather certainly wasn’t complying, Today the sun appeared…
Hello Sunshine
What a joy to come down to the promenade deck this morning (inside cabin) to glorious, bright sunshine and everyone already talking about how warm it was outside! But first back to last night, the first Black Tie event of the cruise, second formal night We scrubbed up not too bad and headed down for…
440 Miles South
Current location 440 miles south of The Titanic Sheet Lightning & rough seas as Captain predicted. Lots of rain about today as well, but the good news is it’s looking better for tomorrow and there’s not an iceberg in sight As usual Arcadia is handling the rough sea well and we are making good speed…
