Woke up, as usual, at eight o’clock this morning to find that Borealis was tied up in the picturesque port of Key West, a U.S island city situated in the archipelago of the Florida Keys. Key West is also the most southern point in continental America, lying about 90 miles north of Cuba. We hadn’t…

Flight of the Falcon
When we arose at eight o’clock this morning and stepped out onto the balcony to check on the weather (much warmer than yesterday!), we had no way of knowing that we’d spent our last night in suite 7055. ☹ Today, we could expect the temperature in Port Canaveral, Florida to reach a very pleasant 21°C,…
Making the Most of Makarska
We should have set sail from Split once again at 5.00am, but when I awoke at 7.35 and peeked through the curtained glass panel of our door, we were still in the same place as we were last night. 🙂 The sky was full of low, grey and purple clouds and a brisk wind was…
Any Port In A Storm
October. The tenth month of 2022 already, and what a lovely place to be spending it in! 😊 After enjoying our al fresco breakfast on the aft decks around eight o’clock, we had a walk around the vessel, greeting the other passengers; we were all getting to know each other now; the barriers were coming…
Lefkada to Meganisi
Got up around 8.00am and went along to the aft deck for breakfast, where I partook of a bowl of granola washed down with a couple of cups of the good, fresh coffee. We then had a wander around the deck, where the weather was already pleasantly warm with a tantalising little breeze. We saw…
A Tour by Tuk Tuk
Got up this morning at eight o’clock and took my time in the power shower, letting the powerful jets of warm water wake me up and wash away yesterday’s grime. I shampooed and blow-dried my hair, then finished getting ready before going down to breakfast. Our other five fellow travellers were there as well; Jane…
A Day Out in Dubrovnik
We got up around 7.30am and I went out onto our fabulous balcony to drink in the perfect view on what was already a cloudless and warm day. Our plan was to take a taxi into Dubrovnik to walk the wall and, after seeing the crowds and feeling the heat yesterday, we figured it would…
So Nice in Nice
Got up around 8.00am as usual to see that the Azamara Pursuit was just getting ready to dock in Nice. The last time we’d been to Nice was in 2011, when we’d flown in to join sister ship Azamara Journey, where we did a four-night cruise culminating in the Monaco F1 Grand Prix. It was…
Cocktails at Jack’s
After a good night’s sleep we woke up at 8.00am and went up for our Sea Stretch session before enjoying an al fresco breakfast. We then wandered around on deck, looking at our surroundings and decided what to do. We had the whole day to explore at our leisure and do whatever we wanted, when…
Wunderbar Warnemünde!
When we woke up this morning the sun was already bright with barely a cloud in the sky, so we just knew it was going to be another lovely day. 🙂 We found ourselves docked in Warnemünde, in the former East Germany and near to Rostock, which we’d visited on a Baltic cruise on…
