Anniversary Cruise at Christmas - the family fun

Where to start with the on-board family fun?!

One of the real treats was how much there was to do as an inter-generational group in the evenings.

Karaoke bar  - with Adam shining on stage

The piano bar - where Annabel was a household name

The 2 all-ages comedy shows each night; the themed performance every night; the movies by the pool. And yes, Seb spent a lot of evenings with the teen club, but we all found some fun things to do.

The sit-down dinners for 11 were delicious and a great way to catch up about the day and plan the evening. The molten chocolate cake was a huge hit but no, Adam didn't eat that whole thing alone.

Mark & Sarah treated us to the Seuss brunch one day at sea. We met the Grinch!

Sophie had spectacular pancakes

and yes, there were green eggs and ham

Seb met the Things

And we even had our own Things 1, 2 and 3!

Sarah had her own Mother of All Things shirt & the decorations were delightful

Some fun and chat in the cabins

Did I mention the soft-serve self-serve ice cream? Available 24/7. Sebastian had 4 on the first day alone, and suffice to say that everyone enjoyed some.

One day was afternoon tea with Nana

She had all her offspring and their offspring with her

But when there were just too many people, too much noise, there was always the "serenity" deck - and the much coveted pods for reading

and sharing

and then after 7 lovely days afloat, we were heading back to the airport in grand style

wouldn't he just love to!

It was an early morning and all that wine went to her head (not!)
