Sapphire Princess Day 23

by Safarigal | Mar 27, 2024 | Incas, penguins, llamas, and even an eclipse

At Sea Crossing the Equator March 26th, 2024 We should have been in Ecuador today, but instead we are at sea, heading towards Costa Rica. It was another calm sunny day, perfect for doing absolutely nothing. There were many great looking enrichment talks and fun...

At Sea March 25th, 2024 It was a beautiful calm morning, gone are the rough seas of the Atlantic. Now we have the very calm Pacific. It hardly feels like we are on a ship at all unless you go out on deck or look out of a window. This morning there was the very well...

Sapphire Princess Day 21

Cusco March 24th, 2024 We had another early start. No chance of trying out the hot tub, wandering through the gardens, or sitting on a bench by the river. By 7:00 we had to place our bags in the corridor so they could be taken to the airport. I took a few photos...

Machu Picchu March 23rd, 2024 It was dark when we arrived at the hotel, but when we got up we were able to see what a lovely view we had outside our window. We went to the dining room for breakfast and had a wonderful buffet breakfast, which included quinoa except I...

Cusco March 22nd, 2024 The ship docked in the port of Pisco at 5:30 AM, and at 6:15 we met with the rest of our tour group in the Explorers Lounge, handed over our carry on luggage, and headed ashore to our waiting coaches. We had the 5 and a half hour bus ride to...

Balmoral Day 5

Jan 23, 2024

January 22nd, 2024 Funchal, Madeira We picked up our pilot at 9:00 and slowly made our way to the port in Funchal, cruising along the beautiful coastline. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, it had the makings of the perfect day to be a tourist. We docked at 11:00,...

January 21st, 2024 At Sea There must be a bit of a swell because although the ocean looks perfectly calm we are rolling from side to side. It is not an unpleasant sensation, in fact I love it, and love the creaking, although some are complaining. Talking about...

January 20th, 2024 At Sea Hopefully it wasn’t related to bopping the night away, but we were awoken in the middle of the night by the announcement of a “Code Alpha” in one of the cabins. A code alpha is ship speak for a medical emergency. It’s so worrisome when that...

January 19th, 2024 At Sea We woke up in the Bay of Biscay. Although not quite a millpond, it is certainly not rough at all. There is hardly any movement on board the ship, Brian was up early and worked out in the gym like a good lad. I was still working on greeting...

It was a very cold, but sunny morning. We arrived at City Cruise Terminal just before 11:30 and at 11:30 the check in process began. We were called to check in according to the colour of our luggage labels (we were blue), and were able to go straight to the check in...

We are in Southampton, ready to board the Fred Olsen ship Balmoral in the morning. This is the first time we have been in Southampton when we are not about to board a Cunard Queen. I think to myself; I would like to be boarding a Cunard Queen. But it is not to be....
