This is a 22 night Southampton to Southampton Caribbean Cruise with Vigo in Northern Spain being the first port of call and Madeira the last. Our passengers love the days at sea; and there are plenty of them with two Atlantic crossings giving us thirteen scheduled sea days this cruise! As a point of interest the Atlantic Ocean covers 22% of the earth’s surface.
During the cruise we will have had 84 entertainment staff onboard which consists of the team of Entertainment Officers, Entertainment Technical Production Team, Musicians, (including a Steel Band as we are on a Caribbean Cruise), The Headliners Theatre Company, The Youth Department, Cabaret Acts, (7 in all), Guest Speakers, and Dance, Bridge, Art and Craft Instructors, an After Dinner Speaker and last and by no means least our Music Festival at Sea Team. Many of our passengers are working hard with the Music Festival at Sea Team to put together a production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado”.
The Master of Oriana Captain Julian Burgess and myself on the bridge discussing our respective roles in the Passenger/Music Festival at Sea production of The Mikado, due to be performed on 18th October at 8.30pm & 10.30pm in the Theatre Royal, more about that another day!!Nigel

Hi Nigel
Nice to see someone is keeping James's blog going whilst he's off on leave.
Hope you have had a lovely time out in the sunny caribbean! I'm looking forward to Xmas there! James comes back to work the day we board Arcadia. Wow, 9 weeks tomorrow, but in the meantime it's lovely to see you here instead.
You will get used to my breakfast postings!
Say hi to Debbie (LFCM) for me, from aurorabore! She'll know who I am ;-) Say hi to Kathy too. Not sure she knows me as aurorabore, but probably as Mrs Brady! Tell her Natalie seems to be doing well over on Arcadia.
