Thanks for the blogs Jo and Gaz, glad to see your are enjoying your adventure.:D

Does everyone do the right thing in MDR on formal nights, i.e. jacket and tie for men? No such thing on our recent cruises, May/June on Sapphire and Royal.

Bon Voyage to all those embarking in Southampton including our Batemans Bay friends Ray and Loretta who were also recently on Sapphire with us doing ye olde Baltics.

Enjoy the rewards for being ahead on your number of steps, Joanne. Ah those Portuguese tarts - yum!

I hope the Bay of Biscayne is kind to them. I got seasick for the first and only time cruising the Bay of Biscayne, much to my surprise - something to do with conflicting currents, I was told.

Currents from Atlantic and Med collide, causing big swells. I have been through ye olde Bay of Biscay several times, only once was it kind, other times big strong swells knocking the ships around.

Yes, it can be an adventure when two seas' currents collide.

Have to check the bridgecam for some excitement.:')

Yeah. Perhaps Stu or David will put up some pics.

Enjoy Lisbon :)

If you are looking for something to do, I recommend doing the hop on hop off bus, its a good way to get around, also to walk up/down the river is good as well (depending on where you dock).

The seas are looking good at the moment....

Good news for them, not so entertaining for Uncle Les.:D

Flat as a pancake is ye olde Bay of Biscay today. How boring for everybody. One hopes ye olde Irish Sea or Atlantic Ocean might whip up a little after leaving Southampton.

The kind folk in Cobh will be preparing for Australia Day - visit of a ship load of Aussies and Kiwis, as they do.:halo:

When we were in Cobh on Royal Princess a few weeks ago, no Australia Day as 90% North Americans on board, but still a bit on in the town. A local bloke has a mini bus near the wharf, taking pax for a trip around the area, very good it was.

Cool, out by 6 months but still cool.

Can someone please tell me if there is a link to Packetau's blog site. Thanks

Our very large cruise critic group... more affectionately known as the Nauti Nomads have a little light reading for you while we are away....

Here’s the list from page no 1 , post no 10. The first one is Jo-s

Thank you Kiwi Kruzer. I'll look it up.

Here is another blog that did not make it to the list: https://winterescape2018.blogspot.com

AIS Marine Traffic have them entering the Solent , just off Isle of White . ..as I post . Should have an early arrival in Southampton. Guess there will be a lot of supplies waiting for them to load as well as being a big turnaround and changeover day for many passengers.

The passengers boarding in Southampton must be getting excited, ready for the long cruise home for some.

I hope those disembarking are prepared for the unusually hot UK summer.

Sailing into Southampton...
