[Summergee]

Is anyone aware of any World Cruise blogs this year? I love reading them.

I hope the QE gets a good send-off tonight as she's not back in Southampton until 8th August.

Me too. Fingers crossed 🤞

For the first time I am not aware of any Cunard world cruise blogs but here are several that I am currently following and then a couple that will start around January 22nd.

 

followourtrips.com  Keith and his wife sail on Crystal Serenity very often.  They are on an extended world cruise now.  Lots of photos.  Daily posts.

 

Morethangetaways.wordpress.com  Roy is always on a ship and does a great job of posting long comments and photos daily.  He's on the HAL Prinsendam  around S. America that started two days ago.

 

amazingvoyages.blogspot.com  Jeff is on Holland America every year.  For the first time he isn't on a WC but is going  around the Caribbean a lot and later a lot in the Baltic.  Loads of photos

 

scluvsrain.blogspot.com  She is often sailing in various parts of the world.  This time it's the 80 day grand voyage of the Prinsendam around South America.

 

2019 halgv.blogspot   Kathi is also reporting daily from the Prinsendam.

 

Starting  around 2/22 - - captainjonathan.com  The wonderful captain of the Amsterdam blogs frequently.

 

Enjoy,

 

Aloha,   Patti

Also - - one more world cruise to follow.   cruisingwithbillandmaryann.blogspot.com   They do the WC on HAL's Amsterdam every year.  They post daily with many photos.  The voyage starts 2/22 but they said they will start posting briefly next Friday the 11th.

 

As to the first one I recommended above  you might add more to what I originally wrote so it would be: followourtrips.com/current-blog.   I  have all of these bookmarked and their original website wording isn't always available for me to see in full.

Not quite a blog, but I found this article on the Ocean City, New Jersey Daily website which it says is the first of five planned articles reporting from the QV world voyage.

As She approaches the South American Continent  I hear that the QV is having an EVAC by helicopter tonight, they are within flying distance but won't make landfall in time for an emergency on board.  They had been calling for blood donors during the day. Hopefully all will be well with he patient.

Hi Roscoe.

Your blog is already book make.  I see you were Honoured last year. Would you be willing to share what the Honour was and why you were awarded it, other than for being a truly wonderful writer!

yes maybe next year???      The boat building competition will not be the same...although the supply of Veuve Cliquot may be safe...

We will be embarking on QM2 in Dubai in March - not sure how I am going to sneak my case of VC on board there :)
