19th December Maria Carey regrets impulsive decision


It seemed such a romantic sentiment at the time but in hindsight seasonal diva Maria Carey is rumoured to be regretting her festive wish that all she wants for Christmas is you.  Being all lovey dovey might seem like a good idea at the time but a string of boyfriends have left Maria bitterly disappointed on Christmas morning when they just turned up without any expensive gifts having taken the singers warbled words literally at face value.

Back in 1994 Maria was so unconcerned about discovering any kind of present under the tree that she wasn't even going to write a letter to St Nick. Now in a hastily rerecorded version which is expected to battle Cliff Richard and Ladbaby to be the festive no 1, it transpires that whilst she might just about put up with having 'you' again this year, what Ms Carey would really like for Christmas is a speedboat, a Malibu mansion, a trip into space, a private jet, a gold plated bidet and a ball pool full of 4 week old puppies.

  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
