Fuerteventura - twice - two different cruises.

 

We've been there for a land based holiday but never a cruise. I'd love to sail in there, the beach looks handily placed for us to take our son to.

Lovely photos, especially the first one which is beautifully staged.

I'm having such fun searching for appropriate photos and reliving so many wonderful cruises. I hope you don't mind me moving on to 'G' with these pictures.....

Fred Olsen Balmoral and a Celebrity ship in Getxo, Spain

Majesty of the Seas and a Carnival ship in Grand Caymen

 

Getxo!!! Completely forgot about that port even though we love Bilbao. Thank you!

Four names and five ships. I know it must be me but which is which? The two in the first photo I got,  but it's the other three that are confusing me. The middle one looks like Oceana, but I know it isn't🤔

The middle ship has got the Princess logo  but no idea which one?

Thank you. I've just had another good look and I can see the logo now. Aren't glasses a wonderful invention when you need to see?🤓🙄🤣

My guess is Sea Princess (which briefly sailed under the P&O flag as the original Adonia). Lovely ship, we had our first P&O cruise on her in 2004.

Impressive photos, your camera must have a pretty good zoom function. From the Rock?

Thank you, yes from up on the Rock.  With camera securely attached to wrist lest thieving monkey made off with it!

It looks like it to me too. I'm glad the macaques didn't pinch their camera, they nipped off with my sun glasses. The little monkeys😁

It was only a little 'pocket' camera with I think a 4 x optical zoom, I'm not into the technical stuff when it comes to photography and just want something easy to carry.

During the trip when the first photo was taken a lady had filled her bag with fruit and other goodies, presumably purloined from the buffet, and despite being warned had taken them up the Rock.  You can guess what happened....

Grenada

After hurricane Ivan had ripped through the island hence the tarpaulin roof covers.

Sorry I haven’t been on this thread for a while, lots of people have done Funchal, so here’s a view of Funchal taken from Azura in 2015

That is the reason we don't like large ships. I've never seen as many people in one place at the same time😵

But strangely, everyone filters out after and you wonder where they’ve all gone !
