Another day at sea is another excuse to try out the hot tubs on deck. We are lucky and manage to secure a space in one on the main deck. I even do a few laps of the (unheated) swimming pool in a fit of madness.

The day is unremarkable. After dinner we go to the Princess Theatre, this time to catch celebrity chef and presenter of BBC’s Saturday Kitchen, Matt Tebbutt. Although he cooks a couple of dishes, the session is mainly memorable for the banter. Matt is hilarious and interacts well with a group of alcohol-fuelled ladies who heckle him almost continuously. We have a great time.

We’ve really enjoyed this voyage, so it will be a shame to wake up in Southampton tomorrow. Fortunately we have a trip to New York booked for early October…
