P&O Caribban Cruise 1

What a great Gatwick to Bridgetown, Barbados flight on a Thomson charter flight - one of the new Dreamliners. Better seats, more legroom, quieter engines, excellent entertainment system & the food was good for an airline. An unexpected perk of this cruise was that luggage is carried "in bond" so doesnt need to be collected at the airport but is delivered directly to my ships cabin. 

MS Ventura is a staggering size & looks more like a row of tower blocksstuck together, if you can imagine thembasking in the sun & floating in the Caribbean Sea. Getting around is more complex than visiting a town city because the layout is 3-D - bars, restaurants, theatres, cinema, library, gym, spa, several pools, sports facilities - all spread over 16 decks.

First trip out of Bridgetown was to Carlisle Bay, which is as beautiful as sand & sea can be - powder soft & gently shelving into warm water. Four local Banks beers later & I'm nicely settled into the Caribbean.
