It’s the first of two days at sea now from Madeira to our home port of Southampton.
Today I want you to meet and greet a couple of our P&O Cruises Entertainers, and some of our active sporty passengers!
Cabaret Vocalist Lynsey Simon and myself.
Lynsey is just one of the seven cabaret acts we have had on this 21 night cruise, she has worked alongside some of the great performers of our age including Tony Bennett, Gene Kelly, Cliff Richard, Jack Jones, and Victor Borge to name a few! Lynsey is a classy upmarket vocalist with a super personality; our passengers want to take her home!
Cabaret Vocalist Stuart Gillies and myself.
Stuart, to my knowledge, is the longest serving entertainer for P&O Cruises, he did his first cruise with us in 1973, (beats me by 8 years!), on the old Oriana. I first worked with him in 1982 on Sea Princess when that ship did its very first season of cruises ever sailing out of Southampton. Stuart lives on the beautiful island of Jersey with his wife Rachel, (who he met in 1981 when she was a dancer on P&O Cruises Canberra) and his children Hannah and Callum. Stuart is this year celebrating 50 years in show business. His act is as vibrant as ever and passengers young and old warm to his terrific personality and choice of material he sings.

This photograph was taken by one of the fantastic professional ships photographers at 10.50am on 15th October when we were on the second day of our five days Atlantic Crossing - check out that great weather!
I did ask the passengers if it was okay to use this image on the blog and they were very happy for it to go out to the world!
We run Shuffleboard Competitions, as we do Quoits and Table Tennis every day at sea, morning and afternoon. As you can see the passengers look very sporty and relaxed, be in it to win it!! There is of course a P&O Cruises prize for the winner of all our sports competitions on our days at sea.
That’s it for today, Bay of Biscay tomorrow!!!
