So we awoke to brilliant sunshine as we headed into the port of Portland in Dorset . Although sunny it was definitely a bit chilly in the strong wind .
We had decided that today we were going to stay on the ship to explore the many parts of the ship that we hadn't seen.
So after an enjoyable breakfast that's exactly what we did . We ventured up to the top decks where it was still very windy . We walked around the massive deck areas , had photos beneath the famous red funnels and then decided to relax on the promenade on one of the many loungers .
Before lunch we decided to head to the Pavilion pool and bar , we had little dip in the hot tub before venturing into the pool for a quick swim . Then of coarse it had to be finished with a nice glass of wine .
After lunch in the buffet we explored more of the ship , before heading back to the room to start a little bit of packing and get ready for dinner .As we sat on the balcony the French ship Renaissance was leaving port , she was being serenaded by a choir and then a cannon fired a volley of three rounds as she sailed out of port .
We enjoyed our final dinner in the MDR before heading to the Queens room where the band The Revolvers were playing their set of sixties hits , we had a great time .
The following morning was time for disembarkation , so it was quick breakfast in the buffet before walking off the ship ourselves . We like to disembark ourselves so that we can get on the road and away before the traffic builds up.
It all went like clockwork and we had good journey back to Essex . So that ended our first experience with Cunard , we had great time and hopefully will be back for more .
Thank you for watching and following along .
