So after a nice limo ride to Southampton, not so nice for the Chauffeur who accidentally hit a bollard, we are aboard Riviera. After a mandatory lifeboat drill we aim to explore and relax for the next fortnight. Hopefully the blog will give you a taste!

Our stateroom is very comfy, and has been updated with new carpet, the only thing we could fault last year. Our favourite place to hang out, Barrista’s, has also been updated. Great to have Italians serving coffee onboard ! Tomorrow we will be in Bruges, see you then. Cheers Tasotter.
