Sea day today, making our way home. The weather has been amazing again so I had a little swim and lazy afternoon on the sun deck.

Made the most of the food and drinks today & had a sing along at the ships choir session and I FOUND A DUCK 😍 🦆

Just on our way for tea (deff haven’t eaten too much already today!) and then tonight Aladdin Sane as David Bowie, let’s raise the roof on our last evening! 🤩🥳🙌🏻

Bonus Belgian day. As we didn’t get to Guernsey yesterday because of high winds, we managed to add a stop in Belgium.

We chose to do the chocolate and castle excursion and have had a gorgeous day. Stopped in the small village of Damme first, for cake and coffee, then off to a chocolate factory, sooooo many free samples I started to feel a little 🤢 and then to Loppem Castle and a drive by Bruges medieval city walls.

I would love to come back and spend more time in Bruges, that’s the beauty of cruising, you get to sample places you may not have thought of going.

And then on return to port, another surprise, The Queen Mary 2, which I was on 3 weeks ago was in beside us.

We have Queen and Phil Collins tributes tonight, very much looking forward to seeing those and having a singalong 🤩🥳

So Guersey didn’t happen today as it was too windy for the tender boats to take us to the port, so we’ve had an extra sea day. Missed breakfast as the clocks went forward an hour and we actually managed a lie in, so went for pizza and salad at 10am 🤣

After a little look around the shops, we took part in the ships choir session, and we sang Money Money Money by ABBA (anyone who knows me will know I was in a surprise ABBA tribute band any my friends wedding a couple of weeks ago) so obviously I gave an A star performance 🤩

After lunch (more food!) we went for an afternoon in the Spa, all Spa facilities on Ambition are free, (treatments are payable) but there’s a steam room, sauna, aroma room and relaxation room so we took full advantage of those.

Gala night tonight so dressed up and off to meet the captain, question of the night… what should I choose for tea 🐷 What would you choose?
