Day 11 Alicante
Now, I’ll let you into a little secret. When I first met my wife, over 15 years ago, the first real holiday we ever went on was to Benidorm. Now at the time I knew nothing about the place but very quickly got to grips with the place and we ended up going back about half a dozen times. We really enjoyed the place and if we didn’t like cruising then I’m sure we’d still be going there. So when we found out that today we could take a day trip to Benidorm, we jumped at the ...

Day 10 - Relaxing Day at Sea
Not really a lot to report today, other than we had a very lazy and relaxing day at sea. Read Full Story
Day 9 Civitavecchia – The Port For Rome
We arrived here nice and early in the morning, around 7.30am, this was so all the tours could get off and into the Italian Traffic. We have been to Rome a couple of times before, so we decided this time to spend the day relaxing on board. This evenings entertainment was very good, a Comedian by the name of Adrian Walsh. Now I do vaguely remember seeing him on TV some years back, but no matter. He was very funny, not rude and did not pick on anyone in the audience, which was good. Up on the m... Read Full Story

Day 8 Santa Margherita
Santa Margherita is a tender port, this is because the port itself it a tiny fishing village, however it does have a bay large enough for s hip the size of Ventura to anchor. So we took the tender boats to the shore. Today we are booked on our first excursion, a walking tour of Portofino. To get to the secluded bay of Portofino, it’s just a short ferry ride. Portofino itself is really quite beautiful and should be on anyones list of must see places. In fact Rod Stewart was married at ... Read Full Story
