Sailing to Sicily

Posted on May 18, 2022May 29, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up at eight o’clock this morning, and went out on the balcony to see what the weather was like.  Although it was a blue sky and the sun was out, the brisk sea breeze made it colder than you would expect. We decided to have our breakfast in the self-service Windows Café and I…

Two Days at Sea

Posted on February 25, 2022April 24, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Friday, 25 February 2022 Woke up to the depressing realisation that the holiday we had looked forward to for so long was looking a bit sick now. In 48 hours we’d be on the road for home. 🙁 Nonetheless, we were still on board, and we determined to enjoy our time on this lovely ship….

Any Port in a Storm

Posted on February 23, 2022April 24, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We woke up this morning with the pleasant thought of having a whole relaxing day at sea; we had already looked at the Daily Times programme of events to see that there was a packed itinerary in store for us today. The weather was, as usual, below zero and the motion of the Borealis was…

Cruising the Restless Waves

Posted on February 13, 2022April 24, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up this morning about 8.30am, with the contented feeling that we had a whole, relaxing day at sea to do what we wanted, when we wanted.  One of those days where you can do can do that which is best described in the following well-known quote (for which I can’t find anyone to reference)….

New Year’s Eve at Sea

Posted on December 31, 2018March 28, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Another long, leisurely sea day today as the Boudicca just glided along placidly in the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean; it was great to wake up this morning on the last day of 2018, and look forward to just doing what we wanted, when we wanted.  😊 What we wanted to do first,…

Navigating to Naples

Posted on October 18, 2018March 29, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up this morning just after eight o’clock as usual, and went out on our balcony for a look around.  As expected, we could see miles of blue sea, with one or two ships passing as distant entities on the horizon.  The sea didn’t look as calm as it had been, there were tiny cresting…

In the Mood for Dancing

Posted on October 7, 2018March 29, 2022 by bollingerbabe

After an excellent’s night sleep, during which time the Queen Victoria glided through the calm Mediterranean sea, we got up around 8.15am and went out on the balcony to see what the weather was like. It was pleasant; not too hot or too cold, just ideal for strolling the decks. The Lido self-service restaurant was…

Go West

Posted on January 11, 2018March 30, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up around 8.00am and went to the Ocean View for our breakfast, choosing a table by the window so we could look out upon the Arabian Sea as we headed to Dubai.  It was quite disconcerting sitting where we were, because there were large, reinforced glass circular windows in the floor which, when you…

Going to Goa

Posted on January 7, 2018March 31, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up at 8.00am feeling a lot better, while still not 100%.  I was determined to make the most of it, however, and we went up to the Ocean View self-service cafeteria and I enjoyed a full English breakfast consisting of bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms and beans, all washed down with a large glass…

Sailing the Arabian Sea

Posted on January 6, 2018March 31, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up late this morning and once again I didn’t want to go to breakfast.  I still wasn’t feeling well but I have to shake this cold off come what may, certainly before we reach Goa, India, on Monday.  What made it seem even worse was that we’d had to advance our watches by an…
