We are off again on our travels, this time on the P&O Ventura around the Canary Islands stopping off at Cadiz and Lisbon on the way back.
Today is embarkation day as we get reunited with the ship after 15 years.
We hope you will join us as we see how things on Ventura have changed, so stayed tuned as we have lots to share with you!VENTURA | GRAN CANARIA | CANARIES CRUISETravel With Rob and Sue2024-06-08 | Watch our cruise from the start youtu.be/e0mzF2rbNH8 A short video showing the rest of our stay in Las Palmas. After spending the morning at the aquarium we finish the day on the beach including a spot of lunch and a jug of sangria over looking the golden sands. Back on the ship, we have a stroll around the ship's promenade as we sail off for our next destination, Lanzarote.AQUARIUM POEMA DEL MAR | GRAN CANARIA |VENTURA |CANARIES CRUISETravel With Rob and Sue2024-06-08 | Watch our cruise from the start youtu.be/e0mzF2rbNH8
First stop today in Gran Canaria is the world famous Poema Del Mar Aquarium with the world''s largest curved glass window.
We call in at Santa Cruz Tenerife, for an extended stay in port - not surprising as the next stop is just around the corner!
We see some new sights in town, have a leisurely afternoon around the pool before sailing away late at night while a pool party raves the night away.
Sue is starting to get upset with some of the really offensive behaviour that some of our fellow guests have shown towards wheelchair users in the restaurants, theatres, bars and lifts - fortunately, on reflection there were more pleasant and helpful people than there were the ignorant ones who we kept having the misfortune of bumping into.
Next stop - Gran Canaria! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Local Elevator by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
A nice warm day to explore La Palma, as we continue our cruise on P & O Ventura around the Canary Islands, and afterwards we attempt the buffet with Sue's wheelchair.

An early morning sail into Madeira followed by a walk around the town and markets, and then a sailaway party on the way out.VENTURA | BAD MDR EXPERIENCE | CANARIES CRUISETravel With Rob and Sue2024-05-28 | Watch our cruise from the start youtu.be/e0mzF2rbNH8
So utterly disappointed in the poor standard of presentation and general quality of our first meal in the Saffron restaurant on the Ventura, supposedly a BAFTA quality celebration but more like a dire school meal.
I review the whole dining experience on the ship later on, so stay tuned for that.FULL MOON OVER SOUTHAMPTON WATER #SHORTS #pandocruises #CRUISING #cruise #fullmoonTravel With Rob and Sue2024-05-25 | ...VENTURA | FIRST DAY AT SEA | CANARIES CRUISETravel With Rob and Sue2024-05-24 | Watch our cruise from the start youtu.be/e0mzF2rbNH8

It's interesting to go back in time and compare Disney's EPCOT in Orlando, Florida now and when we visited them 33 years ago when we made our first trip as a very young family - plus my grandmother who had the BEST time. There's lots of attractions in the video that have long gone, including The Norway ride.

Following on from our British Airways World Traveller economy flights to Las Vegas last year, I explain how we managed to get those unbelievable prices using our Avios Reward points.
If you would like to know more about how Avios works for us, how recent changes to might affect us, and whether it would work for you, then drop me a comment below and I will put together a special video covering everything Avios.
NB: Percentage savings explained: Actual Reward Saver Fare paid compared with BA equivalent website fare = 92% saving
Total cost INCLUDING annual card fee, compared with BA equivalent website fare = 87% saving
Correction In the video I say a reward Premium Economy flight to Vegas was 37500 points on our previous trip. In fact, the Premium Economy reward flight was 50,000 avios points.
It was Jamaica that was 37,500.
But what is important that Vegas WAS 50,000 points for Premium Economy, and is now 60,000 for ordinary economy seats. A big difference.
Sitting in the centre of the Caistor Lakes Fishing Resort, the Ugly Duckling Restaurant serves a variety of high quality food for breakfast, lunch and evening meals. We had two lovely meals in there and can heartily recommend it. Reservations recommended to avoid disappointment.VINTAGE DISNEY MGM STUDIOS | ORLANDO | 1991Travel With Rob and Sue2024-02-08 | Before Hollywood Studios, there was MGM.
