Nothing Ventura’d, Nothing Gained!

John (my husband) and I spent last weekend on P&O’s Ventura.

We sailed from Southampton on Friday and came back on Sunday morning. We spent a lovely,  if rather rainy, day in Bruges on Saturday. We also ate far too much (and far too often- the dangers of a 24 hour buffet), met some lovely people, watched two really good shows, relaxed on our balcony with a good bottle of wine, had a flutter in the casino and had a thoroughly good time. Our car was parked about 100 metres from the ship and porters were available to carry any luggage and each night a chocolate was placed on my Egyptian cotton covered pillow.

What more could we ask for?

If you say you’re off to Paris for a couple of nights or London or a country hotel, no one questions your reasons and yet if you say you are going on a cruise for a weekend, it still seems strange to some.

Try it. It is the easiest way to take a break with everything on site and most of it included in the price which we have seen as low as £199pp this year.
