Transatlantic cruise

This Pullmantur cruise cost £108 per person and sailed from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to Salvador de Bahia in Brazil.

The £108 includes food and drink (not including alcohol), 8 nights accommodation in an inside cabin and on-board entertainment. 

The cruise has 14 decks, including restaurants, bars, swimming pool, jacuzzis, spa, gym, library, shops, casino, climbing wall, theatre and sports court.

The reason this cruise is so cheap is because the cruise season has finished in Europe and beginning in the Caribbean and South America and the cruise relocates for this period.

We found this deal on HolidayPirates.com which I highly recommend for great travelling deals.

After saying goodbye to Yvonne's family over a coffee in a shopping centre near the port, we walked to the big cruise ship and was greeted with a long queue still four hours before departure.

Once on board we found our room on deck 6, refreshed ourselves and then went for our 3 course dinner included in the price. We sat on table 277, with other 5 people also residents in England.

After dessert, we made a routine of going up to deck 11 and have more food at the buffet. There is food available all day!

After buffet breakfast the next morning, we were chilling at the pool area when we saw lots of dolphins swimming next to the cruise! It was a beautiful moment but we didn't manage to photograph them.

Our dinner table of 7 was the same throughout the cruise. We had Henry from Scotland, who works as a flying attendant, Joss from Guildford, a full-time traveler, Helene and Conrad, a young couple soon to move to Denmark and finally Dave from Manchester who is the life and soul of table 277.

This group kept united the whole cruise, always doing things together, playing cards, sunbathing and eating (mainly eating).

The crowd in this cruise is different to the usual. We have hippies, backpackers and families... young faces in general and the atmosphere is relaxed, spontaneous and happy. Everyone is friendly: there are hippies outside of their circle, people that just talk to every set of people, and even people that sit with someone new every day at lunch time.

There is nothing I can say about this cruise that would make it any less amazing than it has been, and with information of a return cruise in March, who knows?
