New York, NY July 8th, 2025 We are back in New York. Previously we have woken up in the early hours to see us sail under the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge and past the Statue of Liberty, but this time we are on the wrong side of the ship, and we will see them both...

Queen Mary 2 Day 7

At Sea July 7th, 2025 We were still in fog when we woke up, and the foghorn continued its mournful warning all morning. For half of the guests on board this is their last day before disembarking in New York tomorrow. So it really wasn’t smart of me to decided that...

Queen Mary 2 Day 6

Halifax, NS July 6th, 2025 They were working on one of the lifeboats in front of our stateroom this morning, so I got to get a peek at what was on the inside. I was not impressed. If the ship sinks I am definitely hoping that I will be in one of the lifeboats that...

Queen Mary 2 Day 5

July 5th, 2025 At Sea If it’s a sea day, there must be Zumba. Actually no. The physical exertion and sweaty body experience have been replaced by a relaxed guided meditation session. Thinking this would be a popular switch, I got to the Queens Room early, but there...

Queen Mary 2 Day 4

July 4th, 2025 Boston Looking out of our stateroom this morning we actually had a view! They were in the process of lowering the lifeboats and brilliant sunshine was streaming into the room. I suppose they were checking out that the mechanism for lowering the...

Queen Mary 2 Day 3

July 3rd, 2025 At Sea We were awakened by the foghorn in the early hours of the morning. Being near the front of the ship is a bit of a mixed blessing. Yes, we do hear the foghorn, but I actually quite like its mournful sound. When we got up, we were still in dense...

Queen Mary 2 Day 2

July 2nd 2025 Newport, RI Newport is a tender port, and you needed tickets to get onto the tenders, so we decided to spend the morning in the Commodore Club and only go ashore once the crowds had dissipated. It is so easy to go up one flight of stairs to the...

New York July 1st, 2025 Today's the day! We arrived at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal at 1:30, we were directed straight to security, we filled out Canadian customs forms, had our photos taken again, and in no time we were on the escalator and on our way to the ship....

Sojourn Day 91

Barcelona, Spain February 28th, 2025 This must be a mistake. When I looked out of the window it looked like we were in Barcelona. How could this have happened? It seems like we were here just a few days ago. So much has happened since then. These past 90 days seem...

Sojourn Day 90

At Sea February 27th, 2025 How did this happen? Today is our last full day on board the Sojourn. We are clearly not ready to leave – after the partying last night we didn’t wake up until after 10:00. This was not good, as we hadn’t even started to think about...
