Calmer Crossing

Posted on March 10, 2017April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We woke up this morning at 7.50am and looked out of our portholes at sunny weather and a flat calm Atlantic ocean.  Tonight was a formal night, so we knew there would be free fizz on offer at breakfast.  😉 We went up to the Grampian Restaurant and chose the table nearest the prosecco ice…

Let the Train take the Strain

Posted on March 6, 2017April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

It was with excitement and anticipation that we woke up early this morning, as today were going to take a ride on the famous St. Kitts Scenic Railway.  Despite two previous visits to St. Kitts (in 2012 on the Ventura and last year on the Adonia) we had not yet experienced this delight, so we…

St. John’s, Antigua

Posted on March 5, 2017April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We woke up at 7.10am to the usual euphoric feeling of being on holiday in the amazing sunny Caribbean on the good ship Braemar.  Looking out of our portholes, we saw that we were just coming into the port of St. John’s, Antigua, where we’ve visited twice before; on the Arcadia in 2005 and last…

The Best of Bequia

Posted on March 2, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When we went out on our balcony upon waking this morning, we saw that the Adonia was about to drop anchor just off the charming little island of Port Elizabeth in Bequia, in the country of St. Vincent & The Grenadines.  We hadn’t been to this port before, and indeed it looked more like the Caribbean…

Catamaran Capers

Posted on February 22, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We were up bright and early again this morning; from our balcony we could see that the Adonia was just about to drop anchor off a series of small hilly islands; this was Mayreau, St. Vincent & Grenadines, another new port of call for us. From our vantage point the sea looked very choppy, in…

Rhum Running in Grenada

Posted on January 12, 2012April 21, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up this morning feeling a little bit sad, as Grenada is our last port of call; tomorrow we’d be back in Barbados and flying home later on.  So we were determined to make the most of it today 🙂 Grenada is only 21 miles long by 12 miles wide and is very scenic with…

Luscious St Lucia

Posted on January 11, 2012April 21, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We awoke this morning to the inevitable warmth and sunshine, once again in a port to which it was our second visit – Castries, the capital of the beautiful island of St. Lucia. We decided we’d just do our own thing this day, but I was on a quest – I wanted to get my…

Grand Turk

Posted on January 5, 2012April 21, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Today the Ventura was docked in Grand Turk, the largest of the Turks and Caicos Islands.  Last time we had been here was in 2009, on the Artemis so it was a familiar view that met us when we looked out from our balcony.  The whole island is only six miles long and has a long pier…

Snorkel Sensation in Aruba

Posted on January 3, 2012April 21, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Today we awoke to find the Ventura docked in Oranjestad, Aruba.  We had been here once before; on the Arcadia in 2007 and we enjoyed it a lot, so we were pleased to be back. After breakfast we decided to go ashore and spend the morning looking around the town.  We were booked to go out on…
