What is your favourite mega-ship?

How do you Sea day?

A couple of weeks ago I cruised on the P&O Ventura.  We went to Bruges on day one, Amsterdam on day 2 and then had a sea day before heading back to Southampton.  Being a bit of a destination cruiser I wasn’t so sure I’d enjoy a full day at sea.  I love the ships […]
