Ovation of the Seas 2016 Royal Caribbean Cruise

So, on April the 22nd my family and I made the LONG trip to Southampton to board one of Royal Caribbean's newest ships, the Ovation of the Seas. The ship, at the time, was the biggest until the newer Harmony of the Seas sailed last week. I haven't been on a cruise before so I didn't really know what to expect, and I haven't been abroad for many years. However, the ship met my expectations and more. It was astounding, and I truly believe that you could, as Royal Caribbean claim, never get bored on it. The ship itself was humongous! The food was amazing, and the entertainment every night was brilliant. I couldn't really fault the experience in any way, apart from the fact that I have most definitely gained several pounds from the food. The staff were all friendly and the ship was impeccably clean. I definitely want to cruise again, and will hopefully do so in the future!

This was a Sea Pass card which allowed you to buy things onboard the ship.

Photo taken in 'the Grande' restaurant, it was reminiscent I felt of the Titanic. Take from that what you like.

They had dodgems, on a ship?!

I would definitely recommend a Royal Caribbean cruise! Feel free to leave any comments.

LONDON

Hello loveliess! Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I've been super busy with uni this term so haven't managed to write many blog posts this month. My boyfriend also came and visited me for a week so that meant no blog posts again! Anyway, my boyfriend and I decided to visit London for the day as it is only a (around) two hour train journey from Leeds and the train tickets were pretty cheap. I love travelling and want to see so many more places both in the UK and outside of it. 

Due to us only going for the day we tried to fit in as many of the sightseeing attractions in as we could. We began our day by visiting the National History Museum, if you haven't been I would suggest you go because it is amazing! It's completely free too. We spent a few hours there because it is deceivingly big. 

We then headed to Harrods... I didn't rate Harrods too much after having been to Selfridges on a previous visit but the architecture there was beautiful. After this, we caught the tube and visited Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square. When visiting Buckingham Palace someone even went into the Palace but we didn't get to see who it was...

We then headed to the Holy Grail that is Oxford Street.... I tried my first Five Guys which I must say was pretty nice even if the price is a bit hefty. We wandered round Oxford Street, visiting Lush, Selfridges and a few other shops then finally headed back to the station.

It was a lovely day and I would love to go again.

I hope you enjoyed this post, and my little snap shots. The photos are taken on my phone but also my new camera (SONY A5000) which I will be doing a post on shortly. Have you been to London? Feel free to leave any comments.
