Blue Birds Over

On March 18, 2017March 20, 2017 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

Woke up early, around 6.00am, and became aware that the Braemar was quiet and still.  Looking out of our portholes, we could see the famous White Cliffs of Dover, as we were already docked.  Went back to sleep for an hour, then got up, got washed and dressed, packed our few remaining things in our hand-luggage, …

All At Sea

On March 16, 2017March 20, 2017 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

Didn't really sleep very well last night because of my cold.  So I was tired this morning and didn't want to go up to breakfast, despite the fact that tonight will be the last formal night and the free fizz would be on offer.  🙂 Instead, I just took a leisurely shower and blow-dried my …

En Route to Dover

On March 15, 2017March 19, 2017 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

Woke up this morning to find I was getting a cold.  😦  Sniffly, sneezy and bunged up.  Not surprising really, when you think there are the best part of 900 passengers on the Braemar and the last few days have been a bit too windy to spend any time outside, so we’re all below decks …

The Foibles of Fellow Passengers

On March 14, 2017March 19, 2017 By bollingerbabeIn Everyday chatLeave a comment

Stuff I’ve noticed, not just on Braemar but on other ships as well: a) People who book on a transatlantic voyage then complain that we are spending too many days at sea.  This trip was advertised as a Caribbean/transatlantic.  Looking at the itinerary we could see that 10 out of the 16 days would be …

Lazy Sea Days

On March 14, 2017August 6, 2017 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

We got up about 8.45am after a good night’s sleep.  The sea was reasonably calm with relatively little movement from the Braemar, but the sky was pretty grey. I decided not to go up to breakfast but instead to make the most of the tea- and coffee-making facilities in our cabin, enjoying a cup of …

Land Ahoy!

On March 13, 2017March 19, 2017 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

It was with excitement that we heard the Captain’s voice coming over the tannoy at 8.30 this morning to say that we should be arriving in Ponta Delgada, Azores, between 9.30 – 10.00.  By this time I think all the passengers were looking forward to being able to get off the ship and walk around …

Late to Bed, Late to Rise

On March 12, 2017March 19, 2017 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

Because of our late night last night (or should I say this morning) I struggled to get out of my pit, so it was after 9.00am when we got up this morning, and went up to the Grampian restaurant for our breakfast.  The sea was still fairly calm, but not as calm as the previous …
