Majesty in Madeira

Majesty in Madeira today, from Aida Blu webcam :)

And from the port webcam. Always the furthest berth :rolleyes:

Yes, it's a long walk but if you remember, Linda, when I was there we got the nearest berth. 😊😊

Ahhh.......but the sun is shining! :) Have you decided to jump yet Linda - blue skies, warm sea....... you know you want to! :D ;)

Not yet Kruzseeka :rolleyes: We have had some extra expenses lately, dentist, cooker repair and I had to pay my friend back for the weekend away in Kent that we had planned as she was poorly (I still went, but took my DH instead :)) not to mention Christmas!

 

I had thought about going to the Canaries instead, until I noticed the temperature this week in La Palma is 3c :eek::eek:

 

I was just looking at the Azura again. Their pricing is so puzzling. They were asking £400 more for an inside cabin than an outside cabin, and a balcony cabin was only slightly more than an inside! What is that all about?

 

If (or when) I book, I will not hesitate to inform you all and put on my countdown clock :)

Blimey! 3°! I can see why you've had second thoughts about that! Hope you see something suitable at a good price Linda. Might be some decent last minute deals - fingers crossed. ;)

You know, been to madeira probably 15 times, both cruising and land based. Love the place, my daughter was a Thomson rep there for several years. The pictures brought back memories and we are planning New Year 2015 already! Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas to you and Mrs Shot2bits. :) New Year in Madeira is on my Bucket List but unfortunately not on the Grumpy Old Man's. Have still not persuaded him to book another cruise, yet. :(

Thanks for that report Brenda.

Shorts and T shirts.... that will be us on Saturday in Beni :D:D

Would rather be in Funchal over New Year though, it's a magic place over Christmas and New Year.

Have a wonderful time Joe - and a very Happy Christmas to you and your good Lady.

 

We also love Funchal (have been twice but for holidays not as a cruise stop). It sure can rain there though!
