New Cruise Mystery Tour

Just been told our next cruise on Arcadia will not be going down the Red Sea or transiting the Suez Canal. Instead we will be bombing around Africa. A change in ports of call were going to be missing Penang, Columbia, Dubai, Muscat, Aqaba, Malts and Cadiz. But we are calling at Port Louis Mauritius, Durban and Cape Town in South Africa and Tenerife. Well that means we’ll have to book this again next time. It’s good that P&O are keeping us safe and they have been very generous with the Future Cruise Credit and on board spend.

Arvia here we come!

Arvia at sea.

Can’t wait for our cruise on Arvia. Due to P & O cancelling Arvia’s first cruise ours is now the ‘Maiden Cruise’ so were both mega excited. Every port will be the inaugural visit so excited to be on board. This is our first cruise over Christmas and New Year so we’ll have to see how we get on. we will miss seeing the family at Christmas. I guess the phone will be busy Christmas morning.

Our son Neil is moving in today to house sit, should be nice and quiet for him. We leave tomorrow (Thursday) and stay overnight in Southampton at the Holiday Inn.

Were due to embark on Friday for a back to back cruise. First fortnight to the Canaries for Christmas and New Year and back to Southampton then second fortnight across the Atlantic to the Caribbean, calling at many Caribbean Islands and eventually arriving in Barbados.

Keep watching and join us as we enjoy our cruise and progress in this festive season.
