Times; They Are a Changing

A short while ago I received a bombshell of a phone call from P&O’s Weddings at Sea Department, this took the form of a phone call telling me that the cruise our wedding was booked on had been cancelled! I received the unwelcome news in the morning while at work and the rest of that day is a bit of a haze. The first thing I needed to do was break the bad news to Julie, who was also at work. We talked about it and spent the rest of the afternoon and the evening (Julie was working late) discussing it either over the phone or by text. Eventually by the next morning we had come up with a new plan and phoned P&O back to make a new booking.

We will still be getting married on the MV Arcadia but on the cruise that was to sail before ours. This means a completely new set of destinations and even a different duration. We sail from the 19th June to the 4th July (15 nights) and travel to Belgium and The Netherlands before our wedding on the 22nd June, then continuing on to Norway and Iceland for our honeymoon. We are even happier with this cruise than the one we originally booked (the only reason we hadn’t booked this one in the first place was that felt we couldn’t afford it but the kind people at Weddings at Sea offered to honour our original booking price). We are both very excited about seeing Iceland and the chance to see the midnight sun.
