24/03/2024 – Today was our third and final visit to St Lucia (for this cruise) and it was to be a busy day.
Today was the day when we would take an excursion to Hotel Chocolate, see how chocolate is made, make our own chocolate, eat some chocolate and most likely buy some chocolate, mainly for Ninja, our cabin steward who it seems to just love chocolate.
22-23/03-2024 – Everybody has their favourite ship and, what works for one person won’t necessarily work for another. We have been lucky enough to sail on P&Os:
Of them all (we’ve still to try the Arvia) we love the Britannia the most: She is such a happy ship
Mostly today, most passengers will be packing:
We however are not, because we’re staying on for [another] 2-weeks and will be sailing all the way back to Southampton. Much more civilised than flying 😋
Yay 😏
Back to St Maarten today (20th March 2024).
There are in fact four ships in today and, it’s very hot. St Maarten will no doubt be way too busy ( I know the picture suggests not busy) for it to be relaxing. So, there won’t be much exploring today: just as well really, as poor Podge seems to have caught some sneezing germ making breathing truculent 🥺 – Poor Podge
19/03/24 – Back to Antigua today.
On the agenda today is another sail-away ‘bit of a do’ with cocktails & canapés with the opportunity to mingle with the officers. But, before all that, we must once again venture into town to see if there is anything we need or if there is any bar that takes our fancy, such as Hemingway’s.
