2nd February 2013 “Well open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free”


I’m Yours - Jason Mraz

Ever had one of those songs that you heard on holiday, every night, that instantly transports you back every time you hear it again? I’m not talking Agadoo, Y Viva Espana or the Macarena, thank goodness.

I always wanted to go on the maiden voyage of a ship. I had a romantic idea that the ship would be welcomed into every port with bands playing and fireboats squirting water into the air, and that the voyage would be extra special.

In 2008 we sailed on the Celebrity Solstice inaugural sailing. There was nary a brass band or fireboat in sight, but what the ship did have was a fabulous aft bar with comfortable sofas, a drop dead gorgeous view of the ocean, and a great singer/guitarist playing out there every night. This was his trademark song that will always remind me of that cruise.


Sadly the company was less appreciative!
