The first full day of the honeymoon has been spent at sea. We got up relatively early, so we could head for the breakfast buffet. Madness. It was like the people there hadn’t eaten for weeks and The Red Cross had made a food delivery. We eventually found somewhere to sit, before finding something to eat ourselves. I must commend the chefs on-board – the P&O all you can eat breakfast is certainly better than the Harvester one. I could actually tell my sausage and bacon had come from a pig.
In the afternoon we had a couples massage. It was a very tranquil and relaxing experience, until it came to the end of the “treatment”, as our massaur called it. She wanted us to sign up for loads more massages across the course of our honeymoon.We were pressured into booking a second, but I put my foot down when they suggested a third. We’re going to cancel the second one anyway.
We caught a stowaway this morning. No, not a person – a frickin’ pigeon. He was sitting bold as brass on the deck. I suppose it saves flying across the Atlantic to hotter countries, like those stupid swifts.
This evening, we met the captain. His name is Simon Terry. I didn’t ask him if he had a brother called John, but was very tempted. I didn’t mention the stowaway pigeon – I’m not a grass.
We finished the evening with a cocktail. We both had Cosmopolitans. Until today, I thought Cosmopolitan was a nudy book read by Rik May all in Bottom. I liked it very much.

We enjoyed a truly magical cruise of the Mediterranean.
While I didn't update my blog while we were away, I did write everyday on either my Kindle or the iPad. I have uploaded all of these notes onto this site.

So here we are. Our last day on the ship. This time tomorrow, we will be back home in England. It has been an amazing two weeks and everything I could have wanted from a honeymoon.

- Honeymoon: Day 13 – At Sea
We went to one of the bars last night, to see Kai McKenzie - a tribute to Michael Buble. As with all the entertainment we have seen on this cruise, Kai was very good, and I am sure Mr Buble himself would approve.
I awoke this morning very rough conditions at sea. The live map, we...
- Honeymoon: Day 12 – Cadiz
Last night, we returned to The Beach House restaurant. The buffet's theme was sea food, and as neither Claire or I eat fish, we thought it would be nice to go to a sit down meal. The meal was nice, although they saved the best course until the end. I ordered a fruit salad. However,...
- Honeymoon: Day 11 – At Sea
We enjoying a long overdue Sea Day. After visiting four ports on consecutive days, a day on-board to reciprocate is very much welcome!
Last night night, we returned to the theatre, where the ship's very own song and dance group, Headliners, wowed us all with another fantastic show. This time, the performance was called Destination Dance...
