After spending most of 2022 either in surgery or recovering from surgery we decided that we would treat ourselves to a cruise to New Zealand rather than fly next time and here we are on our way. The last time we cruised I kept a cruise diary and was asked by friends to do it again on this cruise. I decided to share it on my main blog as well. I hope you enjoy it:

Pt1.

And we’re off, on the coach and heading to London. “Take The National Express, it’ll make you smile etc.” just running through the lyrics in my mind and we have the feeble old dear (not Andrea lol) and a screaming child. With thousands of miles to travel our first hold up was roadworks in sight of the bus station. Such a typically British problem.

A stop over tonight in a hotel near Victoria Coach station and then a morning coach to the ship. We are sailing on Cunard’s Queen Victoria and you can track our progress (if you want) on the cruise mapper app. So it’s an early dinner probably at Maccy D’s and early to bed. No
