Queen Anne Day 27

Invergordon May 29th, 2024 From our balcony we had a good view of the Black Isle and nearby oil rigs. As it happens, the Black Isle isn’t an island at all, but is a peninsular. Although its name reportedly comes from the black soil there or the fact that it doesn’t...

Kirkwall May 28th, 2024 You know you are in Scotland when the first thing you hear in the morning is the sound of bagpipes. It sounded like the man was on our balcony when he woke me up, but no there he was on the quayside, but he certainly made a lot of noise. I...

Queen Anne Day 25

At Sea May 27th, 2024 I was a bit late getting to the Commodore Club today, and yet again there was someone in my seat! The bar has certainly become THE place to be during the day. When I go to watch an enrichment lecture there is no guarantee that I will be able...

Queen Anne Day 24

South Queensferry, Scotland May 26th, 2024 When I went out on our balcony this morning the weather wasn’t looking great. Then came the announcement. The weather was too rough and windy for us to go ashore, but hopefully it will improve, so we should just wait for...

Queen Anne Day 23

At Sea May 25th, 2024 Gone was the Southampton sunshine, the weather got worse as we moved north. Still, after my pain au chocolat and orange juice I was ready to face the day. There was not much to see from the Commodore Club. No chance to see us sailing past...

Queen Anne Day 22

Southampton May 24th, 2024 Well, here we are back at the Mayflower Cruise Terminal. Brian took the coach transfer to Heathrow so it was an early morning as he had to be on the bus by 7:45. I finished packing my stuff for moving and took the shuttle bus in to town...

Queen Anne Day 21

At Sea May 23rd, 2024 The last sea day – and finally we are seeing some rough weather. Not the sort of thing where water is splashing over the windows in the Commodore Club, but enough for you to know you are on a ship. I spent the day packing up the 2 suitcases...

Queen Anne Day 20

La Coruna, Spain May 22nd, 2024 With all of the partying last night, getting up early for our tour was a bit of a challenge. We had a private tour to Santiago de Compostela. I had really been looking forward to this tour. The highlight of the tour is visiting the...

Queen Anne Day 18

At Sea May 20th, 2024 The highlight of the day was the bridge tour. It’s been a long time since we have done a bridge tour on a Cunard ship, so this was a very exciting experience. The closest we usually get is observing the bridge through the window on sea days on...

Santa Cruz de Tenerife May 19th, 2024 Moored a short distance from us was an interesting looking vessel. It was a real classic, and reminded us of the Royal Yacht Britannia. We couldn’t find her name on the Cruise Mapper App, so she was probably out of service. She...

Queen Anne Day 16

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria May 18th, 2024 We decided to do a ship’s tour today. Both stops on the itinerary looked interesting, and there looked like plenty of time to look around on our own, which is what we like to do. It was another cloudy rainy day, but our...

Queen Anne Day 15

Arrecife, Lanzarote May 17th, 2024 Yet another overcast day. It was threatening to rain and the air was heavy with moisture, but luckily no actual precipitation. We decided to risk a potential deluge, and took the shuttle bus to the port gate and from there we...
