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.

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.

Today, we are parked up in St Kitts and it’s blooming hot and made even hotter by our super cool special neighbour: The Arvia is parked next door and, she’s a big bugger (I thought our was big until I saw the Arvia). Should be a good sail-away this evening.

This morning, we will be [once again] revisiting Fairview Great House and Botanical Garden to [once again] learn all about Caribbean Cuisine. Yummy, Yummy. We thoroughly recommend it.
