Embark with Edward

I didn't actually have that much a lie in today and made my way for breakfast by 9am! I enjoyed a bacon, egg and cheese muffin and orange juice and headed to the Theatre for a cooking demonstration with Exec Chef David Mcdonald. Hilariously funny with Maitre D Giorgio the…

We woke to an exciting view, containers! Gothenburg port is a very large container port and a closed port at that. It means that the port is just too busy to allow passengers to walk about the port as it is too dangerous. Because of this, the port offers a…

Another Sea Day today, and with sea day’s comes lie in and a lie in I did have! In fact I didn’t get out of bed until 10:30am! Believe me I needed it! I made my way to the Piazza and caught the end of the Fruit and Vegetable carving…

Well a much needed lie-in took place today and I didn’t leave the cabin until 10:30am! (That is very late for me). I headed to watch mum and dad play Lawn Bowls on the sports deck but they were knocked out first go! We then found a spot in the…
