25/03/2024 – 3rd and last time for this trip.

Most likely not returning anytime soon as P&O seem to have dropped this port, at least on the Britannia. So sad, no more Champions Bar. 😥 An amazing bar playing lots of local songs such as, Delilah, Living Next Door to Alice (rude version) and the yogi bear song (very rude). Just loved watching the parents faces 🤣

And, we met one of Tubbs’s new boyfriends.

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:

  • Adonia;
  • Arcadia (got married on her);
  • Artemis;
  • Aurora;
  • Azura;
  • Britannia;
  • Iona;
  • Oceana;
  • Oriana and;
  • Ventura.

Of them all (we’ve still to try the Arvia) we love the Britannia the most: She is such a happy ship

Unauthorised use is Very, Very Naught.

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
