Returned yesterday from a cruise on the Thomson Celebration, as always we had a great time. The itinerary was one that Id fancied for quite a while. The flight was out of Cardiff, although other airports are available and the cruise went from Sharm el Sheik in Egypt, through the Suez Canal and ended up in Palma. So the flight out was about 5 hours yet the flight back was only just over 2 hours.
I dont know about you, but when you go on holiday, the flight out never seems to be too long but when you come back, it seems to go on forever, so doing it this way was a dream.
The full itinerary was.
13th March, Thursday - Fly Cardiff to Sharm el Sheik Disembark 10pm
14th March, Friday - Port Sokhna, Egypt, for trips to Cairo
15th March, Saturday All day transit of the Suez Canal
16th March, Sunday Alexandria, Egypt
17th March, Monday Day at Sea
18th March, Tuesday Messina, Sicily
19th March, Wednesday Naples, Italy
20th March, Thursday Day at Sea
21st March, Friday Palma, Majorca Fly back to UK
As this itinerary is the first one that I have blogged, I will be doing each day by memory over the next 8 days. In future, I will keep notes to make sure I give you everything that you need.
Please feel free to post any comments or questions.
