Seen her today sorry but not for me she is far too big.

In 1984 we started small, I mean very small, less than 200 passengers, loved It. After a bit we gradually moved up the spectrum until we reached , The Brilliance of the Seas, We decided that this was the max size for us. However we did eventually rise up to Ventura,hated it, so as we had also moved down a number of times to small and smaller Fred Olsen, Swan Hellenic and Voyager. Fell in love with Minerver2 as it was able to go anywhere. When it was sold to Carnival and became P&O's Adonia, we thought, Great. What a disappointment. It was still a beautiful ship but P&O had no idea ab

My thoughts? Complete horror. That is why I will never book to sail on her.

That's how I see these ships as floating theme parks. Why do people want to go on a ship to one of these instead of on dry land? Maybe I'm just getting old too.

Factors that influence our choice of cruise include the price, the ship and the cruise line. However, the itinerary is the most important.

sounds amazing!!

I am a regular on Aurora and nothing beats her size and welcoming feel in my mind - but everyone has different priorities and favourites.

I have so much enjoyed reading your blog. Thank you.

Thank you peter! much appreciated, I'll take your advise on board!!

I think it will 2018 before they refit Britannia. I absolutely love the ship. Especially the shower great not to have the curtain clinging to your bits
