Summer 2015: Cruising to the Arctic!

August 2015 was a significant month for Ross and me, as we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary.  Due to school holidays and exhausting heat, celebrations were in July when we could be together.  Following significant negotiations with our Halfling we all agreed on a Disney Cruise (yeah right!) up into the Arctic Circle (yes, this was Ross and my input).  Combined with a few other activities, we made it a Go!

This is the first part of our Summer Holiday 2015:  Doha to London, over to Copenhagen, into the Arctic and back to England for a week's old fashioned beach holiday while we waited for Teagan's International Brownie Camp in the New Forest.

Would I go on a Disney Cruise again?  Highly, extremely unlikely.

Was it a really good cruise and worth recommendations?  Absolutely, top marks, exceptionally well run, superb condition, great care of passengers, fantastic safety for children, superb staterooms.

Why wouldn't I do it again?  How much forced happiness (and piped music) can a good old Southern Kiwi take?

Would Teagan do it again?  Absolutely, totally!

Does Teagan prefer Cunard ships to Disney ships?  Yes, because of the Kids Zone on Cunard - shock horror, she was not swayed by rampant commercialism.
