Frühstück Nach einer erholsamen Nacht während meiner Mein Schiff 2 Orient Kreuzfahrt ging es zum Frühstück ins Atlantik-Restaurant. Mein Favorit, weil man dort am Platz bedient wird, aber trotzdem die Auswahl hat, was man speisen möchte. Die Kellner präsentieren am Tisch die Auswahl. Einzig mein hoher Kaffeebedarf ist eine kleine Herausforderung für das Service Team gewesen. Aber warten musste ich nie lange. Vormittags hatte ich dann eine Massage gebucht und genossen. Auch da Service und Freundlichkeit top. Und die Thai-Öl-Massage…
A holiday on land is also welcome sometimes
I spent six days in Fuerteventura at the Jandia Princess Hotel, right on Pajara beach. It was all about relaxation: lots of time in the sea, delicious food and drink. Watersports are popular here, typical for the island. A bit of wind and even rain, but at 21 degrees it was totally okay.

Upon arrival, I spent the day on the cruise with lunch at the Fish Market restaurant and met a former colleague. In the afternoon, I explored Dubai's souks on a guided tour and learned a lot about Emirati culture. In the evening, I enjoyed excellent service and food at the Atlantik Restaurant and relaxed at the Aussenalster Bar.
15. Jan. 24, Dubai, Mein Schiff 2
Am Abend ging es los nach Dubai. Die Mein Schiff 2, frisch aus der Werft, war das Ziel für eine kurze, viertägige Kreuzfahrt. Nachtflug Diesmal hatte ich wieder das Anreise-Paket über Tui Cruises gebucht, so hatte ich einen Direkt-Flug mit Emirates ab München bekommen. Das Anreise-Paket hat Vor- und Nachteile. Der größte Vorteil ist sicherlich, dass die Reederei sich kümmert, wenn mit dem gebuchten Flug irgendwas ist, wie z. B. eine Annullierung. Ein Nachteil ist, man hat keinen Einfluss auf…

The last full day of the trip brought us back to Dubai. After the very relaxing day in Khasab, the vibrant metropolis of Dubai was now up for sightseeing again. As the cityscape in Dubai changes more by the hour than by the year, we had booked an excursion in the morning. This excursion via Tui Cruises was to take us to Dubai's new attractions. From the ship, we boarded the excursion bus, which was not completely full. The journey first led to Blue Waters. Here...

The day began with early sports, even during a cruise I try to maintain my running routine. The advantage on board is that you can use the treadmill in the air-conditioned studio. You can get your miles in there. This way, you avoid running your laps outside in over 30-degree heat. Towels and water are provided, which is also necessary, as the photo proves. We were planning an excursion in the afternoon. Therefore, lunch was necessary. There were alternating dishes in the Tag & Nacht. These were of a...
2.11.23, Mein Schiff 2, Muscat
Excursion First stop of the Mein Schiff 2 in Oman is the capital Muscat. Since one needs to relax, we went to a hotel complex with a pool area and access to the public beach. When leaving the ship, there was a permit card, a card that must always be carried during the stay on land. Upon returning to the port area, the card is checked and then returned at the ship. All other formalities happen in the background without you having to do anything yourself. The...
01.11.23, Mein Schiff 2, Sea Day
Active in the morning A sea day always offers enough time to use various facilities on board. For example, the gym. The gym offers some cardio and strength equipment. The times when trainers are available range from morning to evening. The gym can also be used outside these times. Despite it being a sea day, the gym was relatively empty in the morning. Lunch was at the Ganz schön Gesund Bistro, the restaurant offers meals included in the fare, as well as drinks. However, it is...
