Well the day has finally come, my youngest sons Luca’s first day at school.  Today I woke up and got him dressed in his big boy school uniform and popped on his brand new Clarks shoes and packed him off to school.  At four years old he seems so little to be going off to school especially standing next to his big brother Louie.

I was so proud of him when we arrived into the playground as he went straight over to his little queue and waited patiently to walk into his new classroom. Once we got inside and he found his new peg with a little hot air ballon on, he hung his coat up and his book bag and off he trotted. No tears or clinging onto my leg for dear life. He just strode over to the little table picked up a truck and said ‘bye mom, see you later’ – ohhh ok then!!!! And just like that my boy is off and starting his little adventure on his school life.

Well not only a first for my lovely boy but also a first for Royal Caribbean with their ship the Voyager Of the seas. This will be their first season in Asia and it will be the largest ship ever to be based there.
 As previously announced the 3,114 passenger vessel will operate a series of three, four, five, seven and eight night Itineraries out of Singapore and China starting in May. The stops that will be included are Kuala Lumpa,Malaysia,Phuket.Thailand,Shanghai,Japan and South Korea to name but a few. In moving to China the ship will join the much smaller Royal Caribbean ship the legend of the seas, which has been sailing out of the country seasonally for the last three years. It will be starting the fourth season in March 2012. The new sailings will be aimed at the Chinese market but also travellers from around the world who want to see Asia. I think it’s a fantastic opportunity to visit this part of the world and the shorter sailings can be used to tie in with a tailor made package which we here at cruise.co.uk could look at for you or work with you on an Itinerary you may already have in mind. I love Royal Caribbean and think this is a wonderful move for them to get an amazing itinerary on a beautiful ship where passengers will even be able to sample Chinese food and culturally appropriate activities. If you fancy something different then this is definitely the cruise holiday for you.

Now I’m off to put my feet up and enjoy the peace of being a lady of leisure with two children at school and the day off work – Wahoo I could get used to this!!!!!
