Sorry - I was busy, lazy, stressed, cruising - however, I had many reasons that I had no time to translate a few more of the Princess blogs.

 

One of them was DIAMOND PRINCESS Singapore - Vietnam - Hong Kong - Taiwan - Japan in 2016.

 

The second was OCEAN PRINCESS Dover, England - Jersey - Wales - Ireland - Scotland back to England in 2015.

 

Now the translation is available, and you are invited to join me on this virtually:

When you traveled so far, you should not just go home but to discover more of Japan and its people and culture.

 

So did we. Join us at the post-cruise part to see Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto.

Sorry - I was busy, lazy, stressed, cruising - however, I had many reasons that I had no time to translate a few more of the Princess blogs.

 

One of them was the OCEAN PRINCESS with an unusual itinerary, and due to weather condition, our round was the only one which was made it with all stops as scheduled.

 

And it is so sad, that this beautiful ship left the fleet. She is now SIRENA, and we will get the chances in 2020 when we booked her again.

 

Now the translation is available, and you are invited to join me on this virtually:

Day 0 = the journey to the ship incl. Canterbury, England and Day 1 = embarkation in Dover, England

Day 2 in St. Helier, Jersey - most ships are going to St. Peter-Port on Guernsey but not us

Day 3 in Milford Haven, Wales - lucky that we could make it - a great port full of passionate inhabitants who loved to treat us special

Now we are around the tip of the British Isles: Scotland on OCEAN PRINCESS

 

Since we had an overnight in Rosyth, Scotland, we could do some more distant tours. Day 6, I was finally couraged enough to try Haggis

So sad: the last section to the debarkation port - a Day at Sea 8

It is so sad that the ship left the fleet and has a new life as SIRENA. We will see in 2020 what would be the difference.

 

This ship made the difference because we could see places we could not see with larger ships.

 

Now the post-cruise part of the blog will continue for Cornwall and more.

 

The next two voyages are translated available: Check on DIAMOND PRINCESS 2016 and GRAND PRINCESS 2018.
