SUNRISE: 09:35 SUNSET: 16:52 Got up this morning at eight o’clock as usual, feeling really sad that it was the last day of our amazing cruise. Despite the fact that we were heading south all the time, the sunrise time was still a lot later than it was at home at this time of year….
Woke up this morning feeling quite sad that this was the last day of our fantastic cruise. We would spend all of today crossing the North Sea on the way back to Rosyth, and a look at the Daily Times events programme told us that there was a full itinerary of activities for us today….
Got up this morning at 8.00am to see blue skies and fluffy white clouds out of our window, as well as a perfectly calm Baltic sea (or were we back in the North Sea now). I wasn’t sure.). As we were not due to dock in Copenhagen until one o’clock this afternoon, we had a…
Woke up this morning when the alarm went off, and looked out of our window to grey skies and a grey North Sea; it was difficult to see where the sea ended and the sky started. After the lovely sunny day we had yesterday in Rosyth, we were disappointed not to see the sun today,…
When we woke up this morning, we were surprised to see that the Bolette was at anchor off land; a quick look at the MarineTraffic app showed that we were in Kristiansand. We couldn’t understand it – we were supposed to be at sea today. What was happening? About an hour later, the Bolette weighed…
Sweet dreams are made of this,Who am I to disagree?I’ve travelled the world and the seven seas… The Eurythmics During the night we had had to put our watches forward one hour in line with European time, so it meant an hour in bed lost. Therefore, when the alarm went off at 8.00am it was…
Having not yet cruised in 2023 (!!), it was with great excitement that we woke up this morning to the happy knowledge that we would be joining the Fred.Olsen Cruise Lines flagship Bolette later this morning in the Port of Tyne, for a wonderful 10 day cruise to the Nordic capital cities. 😊 We love…
Got up about 8.30 this morning and looked out of our balcony doors at a grey choppy sea and a grey cloudy sky. Didn’t think we would spend much time out on deck today! We had been looking forward to our visit to Belgium as we had planned to get the train from Zeebrugge to…
At some point during the night we had woken up to see that the Arcadia was on the move again, making her way back along the North Sea canal. It was a pity we weren’t in Amsterdam again today, but we had a nice relaxing day at sea to look forward to instead. 🙂 In…
Woke up at 8.00am after an excellent night’s sleep. I’d been wearing some industrial-strength earplugs while I slept so nothing disturbed me at all, and I was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when I got out of bed, despite the fact that we’d had to put our watches forward an hour to European time. Looking outside, the…
