  1. The #CruiseShip delivers a daily newspaper to every cabin.
    This is a concise 8 A4 page printed edition produced by KVH media for cruise lines.
    There's just enough news in all areas (UK, global, sport, finance, celebrities) to keep up to date. There's no editorial, and no apparent bias (there will be but it's not blatant). And no adverts!

    I think I'd pay to have this type of daily digest at home. (No, it's not available to individuals)

  2. Good Morning from deck 6 of the #CruiseShip (and my bed).

    We seem to be just parking close to Tobermory in Scotland for the day.

    We aren't going on an organised trip but will get the tender into the town and spend a bit of money locally.

    We've been told the weather will be showers but not cold. This will be a change from the persistent drizzle we e had in the Atlantic since we left Iceland.

    Neither of us have been sleeping very well - I suspect we aren't getting enough exercise to make us tired!

    Balamory photos will hopefully follow!

  3. Very good morning from the north Atlantic.

    I've no idea what day or time it is because the #cruiseShip has moved to British time again, and on this type of holiday every day is a holiday. It's quite unsettling.

    We aren't going to be docking anywhere today, just pointing the pointy end at Tobermorry for tomorrow.

    This is a chance to recharge ourselves after three quite tiring days of sightseeing.

    Outside the cabin window it's bright and the sea is calm.
    I slept pretty well, but my arthritic thumbs are hurting a bit.

    I hope you are able to use the weekend for a bit of calm and to recharge your inner self.

    By the way - you look great today.

  6. St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands for #MeerMittwoch this week. This was from our November cruise around the Caribbean and this was our first port of call after departing Puerto Rico.

  9. For #SchiffsSamstag here's #DiamondPrincess in #Naha on #Okinawa. Diamond is a Grand-class ship and she was the first ship we ever cruised on (our honeymoon) but this shot is ten years later on an anniversary #cruise.

  10. From the #travel archive for #TravelThursday and this was November 10th, 2008 in the Chinese port of Tianjin, within the first couple of hours on board our very first #cruise ship, Diamond Princess. Also, our first foreign holiday and honeymoon.

  11. A repost of the very first #MeerMittwoch photo I put up here simply because this picture was taken six years ago today on the last day of what was effectively our tenth wedding anniversary cruise. This is just south of Japan, heading back to Yokohama to depart the next day and fly home.

  12. Departure from the port of Keelung in northern Taiwan for #MeerMittwoch this week. We've visited here twice, both times on this cruise ship ten years apart, with the first being our honeymoon. Gorgeous country.

  13. It's #MeerMittwoch and on Monday it was the 20th birthday of Diamond Princess, the cruise ship we took our honeymoon on back in 2008. We had an inside cabin on that trip but when we returned to Asia to cruise on her again in 2018 for our tenth wedding anniversary we chose a balcony instead. There's nothing like being at sea with emptiness all the way to the horizon as the sun sets.

  14. It's #SchiffsSamstag so here's the first #cruise ship we ever sailed on. This was from 2008 on our honeymoon, and this is Diamond Princess in Nha Trang, Vietnam. You can tell that we're on a tender boat heading ashore here. What you can't see is how much I'm sweating because Vietnam is so ridiculously humid.

  15. Learning some new German with #MeerMittwoch and joining in because being anywhere near or on the #sea is where we're happiest. This was the last day at sea, heading back towards #Japan in 2018 on our ten-year anniversary #cruise on #DiamondPrincess.

  16. #TravelPhotography from #OnThisDay in 2008. We had the blackest of clouds and the most ferocious of rainstorms at sea this day although this photo was taken before the storm rolled in. Despite that, it was so warm, so humid here as we were en route to Singapore after a couple of days in Vietnam.
