It was around 8.00am when we got up this morning feeling quite optimistic. During the night we had received another confirmation from Fed-Ex, that our suitcases would be delivered to the Golden Nugget “before 10.30am”. We hoped that they would be, as we couldn’t wait to don our swimming things and spend a leisurely day…
Day 7 – No luggage!! Oh, Las Vegas, you’ll be the death of me,City of Sin,Oh what a mess I’m in.Look what you’ve done to me. Las Vegas – Tony Christie As our time was now our own in Las Vegas, we could have a lie-in so we did, getting up at 8.00am. We were…
Day 6 – No luggage!! Got up at 7.45am and noticed I had a missed call at 6.45am in WhatsApp. Who on earth calls at that time of the morning? I always have my phone on “do not disturb” between the hours of 11.00pm – 7.00am which is why I hadn’t heard the call come…

Day 4 – No luggage!! Got up at 7.15am and set the coffee pot away while I went in to shower. At least the hotel had provided shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. I couldn’t blow-dry my hair because I didn’t have my hot brush or straighteners with me, so once the air-con had dried it…
Day 3 – No luggage !! We slept a little better last night than we had the first night, but we were still awake long before the alarm. Once again, I donned my Target jeans as well as my Target t-shirt, and put on my Target flip-flops. Then I went into the bathroom and washed…
Day 2 – No luggage!! As we expected, we were wide awake very early, ready to get up and wondering why it was still dark outside. The glowing numbers on the bedside clock told us it was only 3.00am!! After dozing off to sleep again, we were once again awake, this time at 4.30am. I…
It hardly seemed any time at all since we were last heading for an airport and far away, sunnier climes, so it was with a huge sense of déjà vu that we found ourselves, once again, on the road to Newcastle Airport. But before we had even left home, the trouble started. At approximately 9.00pm…
Sunday, 12 April 2026 We were now down to the last two days of our cruise, having left behind the islands of the Caribbean and started our voyage north again. We had thoroughly enjoyed our time ashore, back in these wonderful islands, and we are now determined that we won’t leave it another nine years…
Woke up this morning at 7.30 feeling quite sad, as this would be our last port of call this cruise, and we would then have two days at sea before returning to Miami. Going out on the balcony, we could see that we were already docked in Road Town, on the island of Tortola in…
