While looking at their Web Site of "cruises for people that don't do cruises" I notice some of the language is for people that don't talk cruises either.

On the homepage (at the top) there is a menu called "on the boat"!.

I think that they are now taking possession of AIDABlu, originally CROWN PRINCESS, to operate as OCEAN VILLAGE II.

I had to smile when I saw that. However, I think that OV is a pleasant boat / ship to cruise on; the entertainment is excellent, the cabins spacious, the swim-up bar unique, and the on-deck dining at La Luna is well worth the small supplement.

It's just over a week to go... I fly out on 13th March to join OV in Barbados for a week... sunshine, draught beer, relaxation. Can't wait!
