Our holiday started with lunch and a game of skittles in a nice pub in Brockenhurst. From there we got on board the ferry to Yarmouth. On arriving at our hotel we all had complimentary drinks and mince pies.
Full board meals every day meant no one went hungry! The choice and quality was to the usual high standards.
An open top bus ride of the island was taken on Christmas eve and even though it was cold, we all enjoyed ourselves.
There was, of course, a real party atmosphere throughout the holiday, especially at meal times. Crackers were pulled to reveal the usual silly jokes and party hats, plus streamers and whistles.
Christmas day we woke to open our Christmas presents, which really gave us all that festive family feeling.
A full Christmas dinner was on the menu and we were serenaded by some of the entertainment staff!
Everyone dressed up in their best attire for the Christmas night dancing and entertainment. As per normal, we were amongst the last on the dance floor.
Every evening there was great entertainment from the resident team and also from visiting celebrities.
Day times were spent taking part in games, whether “welly wanging” or spending time in the games room. There we played table tennis, snooker, bowling, darts, chequers and other such games. Some of our party went swimming in the lovely relaxing swimming pool area.
Some holiday makers took a trip around the island in our minibus and saw the spectacular coastal scenery that surrounds the Isle of Wight.
