    :rotfl:I was on a balcony!!! Or a suppose it could have been done with a long selfie stick!

    I went with P&O, on Oceana. It was a 35 night round trip from Southampton.

    It's one of their older ships, and there was a lot of maintenance going on. I think that if a person is used to the bigger, newer ships, Oceana might be a slight let down. BUT, having said that, it was a great itinerary and I had a lovely time. I would do it again, and on the same ship.

    Lovely pics GG. DH and I spent a lovely week several years ago at Miami beach and drove to the Everglades and down to Key West and Hemmingway's house. Brought back some good memories. Thanks for sharing :)

    That's interesting , we have done short cruises on Arcadia and aurora and I enjoyed both very much, we are doing a 3 night on the new Royal Caribbean ovation this week and I am a bit worried we won't like it, bigger is not always better!

    Please continue with the photos, it's great inspiration for getting that mortgage paid off asap X
