We always leave our stateroom curtains open about 18″ as we love to wake up to the sights and sounds of the sea. I was woken by light filtering into the cabin, but it was only 5.15am. Getting out of bed, I wandered over to the balcony and saw that the Queen Anne was making…
Not a lot to write about today. We woke up feeling quite sad that this would be our last sea day and we would have to drag our cases out from under the bed and start our packing later on. 🙁 At 10.00am we took our seats in the Royal Court Theatre to watch/listen to…
Woke up this morning and went out onto our balcony as the Queen Anne was making her way towards La Coruña, a city in the Galicia region of northern Spain. The sky was dull with ominous-looking grey clouds, and there was a hint of moisture in the air. As this was our last port of…
Didn’t do much at all today. It was just another one of those long, leisurely, lazy sea days where sitting doing nothing except gazing out to sea and thinking pleasant thoughts took up much of our time. 🙂 This blog entry will therefore be very short. 🙂 We had our breakfast, as usual, in the…
Got up this morning at eight o’clock as usual, and went out onto the balcony to see what the weather was like. It was sunny but cool for the time of year. We had another full day at sea to look forward to and, according to our Daily Programme, a packed itinerary of events. 🙂…
We were up ealier this morning, at seven o’clock, as we had a half-day tour booked and we had to meet our guide shoreside at 8.15am. The Queen Anne was making her way into the port of Santa Cruz, Tenerife, where she was due to dock at 8.00am Tenerife is the largest of the seven…
When we awoke at eight o’clock this morning, the Queen Anne was already docked in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. Going out onto our balcony, we saw that the sky was a glowering, gunmetal grey, and we hoped that this wasn’t the sign that it was going to rain all day. As we were getting ready,…
Woke up this morning and couldn’t believe we were now half-way through our cruise. Time surely flies when you’re having fun, as they say. 🙂 Going out onto our balcony, we could see that we were docked in Arrecife, Lanzarote. We had only been here once before, in April 2008 on the Black Prince, so…
Masquerade! Every face a different shade.Masquerade! Turn around, there’s another mask behind you. From ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ – Andrew Lloyd Webber Got up early this morning, hoping to catch the sunrise at 7.06am. The morning was cloudy and there were still patches of blue sky, and I did manage to get a moody…
We were up at eight o’clock once again, after an excellent night’s sleep. Going out onto the balcony to see what the weather was like, we saw that Queen Anne had company today – P&O’s Ventura was docked next to her. Getting washed and dressed, we made our way to the Artisans’ Foodhall for breakfast,…
