QV Mediterranean Medley Cruise - Southampton Departure 20 Apr 09

23rd May 2009

We hadn’t intended going on a cruise this year as next year is our silver wedding anniversary and the plan was that we’d do a longer than average cruise that year, more than likely taking in the USA and Canada on QM2. However, this cruising lark has turned out to be a lot more addicitive than I ever imagined it would be – and not solely because of the potential for photographing new ships! So, in the end, we chucked a bit more of the family silver at a 12 night cruise to the Eastern Mediterranean and, once again, we travelled on Queen Victoria (now fast becoming our favourite ship). We sailed from the City Terminal in Soton on Monday 20 April in company with QM2 and P&O’s Oriana, and this smallish collection concentrates fairly heavily on the departure of these two ships, both of which were supposed to sail after us. As fate would have it however, there had been some problems associated with disembarkation from QV that morning and we were delayed somewhat so QM2 sailed first, followed by Oriana, and we brought up the rear of the convoy.
