We've been cruising now for 5 years and in that short time have managed to squeeze in around 14 cruises, mainly with P&O but also with Cunard and NCL. We have really enjoyed spending the daughter's inheritance up to now, although she is due to join me on a cruise next month (hope she doesn't get the bug too!).
We were very excited about the prospect of being among the first to try out the brand new Ventura. There had been a lot of hype in the build up and we were a bit worried that we would be disappointed. How wrong we were to be worried!
I'm not going to talk about the journey or the checking in, because it's hardly rocket science and is all a bit dull. I'm not going to talk about the ports of call either, as many of you will already know a lot more about them than we do! And I'm definitely not going to talk about food, except to say it was very nice, I ate too much and gained too many pounds. (But be sure to do the formal afternoon tea in the dining room at least once. Toasted crumpets! Ooh yummy.)
