Wow! Where did the time go! ⏰💨🤯 10years ag Wow! Where did the time go! ⏰💨🤯 10years ago on this very day we embarked P&O Arcadia to celebrate our engagement! We had so much fun! Do you remember P&O ships with buff yellow funnels and plain white hulls? Honestly can’t believe it’s been 10years!!! Here’s some pics and a link to a very very old video of the cruise…. Back when it was just photos, small video clips and just music! What we call the silent era… 😂 we didn’t even used to record the right way around on our phones! Anyway, it was a great cruise! We had so much fun and it’s always nice to look back! https://youtu.be/IJmnBElFcUo?si=0zCeDWRyWSChv9DF 🚢 🥳🚢 🥳🚢 🥳🚢 🥳🚢 🥳🚢 🥳🚢 🥳🚢 🥳🚢 #pandocruises #pocruises #pandoarcadia #cruiseadventure #cruisefun #cruiselife #cruiseholiday #cruisevacation #cruisevibes #cruiseshiplife #cruisetime #cruiseblogger #holidaylikeneverbefore #gay #gayuk #gayguy #gaytravel #gaycouple #shiplife #cruisemonkeys #cruisefans #oceanviews #cruisedays #choosecruise
