Started the year in Curaçao, 28 degrees. Ending the month in 2 degrees and snow. Hey, Sylvester at @qrasow , how I envy you right now. Do you need a magician for a while to entertain your cruise guests, while this snow and winter blows over? 😜👍 Lemme know 😊 #chrisptee #crispymagic #comedymagician #magician #bristolmagician #snow #winter #wrappedup #curacao #curaçao #freezing #chippingsodbury #bristol

This lovely young lady had a group of he family taking pictures as she posed. I asked "Is she famous?" they all laughed and I took this. Looking at her now, I think she resembles Sandra Bullock.

The Rainbow Eucalyptus Tree is native of the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. After severe Hurricanes in Grenada, this tree was planted in 1977 to stabilise the banks. Look how it has ground and stayed in its new home. #StGeorge #StGeorges #grenada #travelling #traveling #instatravel #chrisptee #travelblogger #rainboweucalyptus #trees

Top Tips for P and O Cruises in the Caribbean

I shared these tips with a friend, you may find them useful if you are sailing in the Caribbean on a P and O ship.

Most will be useful if you are in another cruise too.

Electrical

For your cabin, if you have a few electrical items to plug in at once, take a 5 gang extension lead.

There's usually only one plug on the dresser and one on the floor.

Never Leave Cheap Chinese Electricals Plugged in over night or when out of your cabin. Always unplug the main extension lead. Fire hazards!

Cleanliness

If you don't mind what shampoo or shower gel you use, don't take any, it's in the shower anyway.

Sleep

If you take your own pillow, put it in a red or patterned pillowcase so the maid doesn't take it.

Ship Account

As soon as you can, ask reception to Remove the Gratutites from your account, tell them you will tip with cash. If you don't remove it, you get charged about £20 each per day.

Tips on board

Tipping your cabin steward a $100+ is the norm, especially if they have kept your cabin spotless.

Some just tidy and wipe but no vaccum. If you are at dinner every night, always tip your two waiters. Amounts are upto you of course.

Currency in the Caribbean

Just take US Dollars and remember that Caribbean Dollars are Two for One US.

Always check if the price is Caribbean or US price. Or you'll pay double.

Local Trips are cheaper than onboard

Agree prices for trips beforehand. A smaller bus is a more personal experience, 8-10 people, nice way to make friends.

A bus with 30+ is impersonal and you end up waiting for everyone and don't get the best experience.

Something like an air con mini bus is better than a taxi or coach.

ALWAYS make sure you are back at the ship and inboard at least an hour before you set sail. If they say be on board by 5.30pm, aim to be back at 4.30pm just in case.

They WILL leave you behind. So make sure your trip has you back in time.

Saying this, the local tour guides do these trips everyday in peak season, they will get you back. Just make sure they know when you need to be.

Water

Always take water.

If you have a nice water bottle, take it.

When you go through airport security you can fill it up on other side for your flight, getting water to drink in the Dreamliners takes time and on the ship you'll be glad you had it to take back to the cabin.

Cabin water

Oh, when you arrive to your cabin, there will be bottles of water on the side, these are complimentary.

But, everything in the fridge is expensive. If you don't want it, take it out of the fridge and under the bed there is a black box, put it all in there and tell the cabin steward. That way you can use your fridge and not get charged.

Hope this is helpful x

More tips to come.

Dexters Odyssey Fundraiser with Jamie Raven, Mark Bennett, Chris P Tee and Cheeky Chops SOLD OUT

I'm getting so many messages from audience members who loved the show we performed yesterday 13/1/2019.
The Show Sold Out and we could have have sold triple the amount of tickets, it was a massive success. Thank you to everyone who came and supported this great cause.


A big thank you to Jamie Daniel aka Jamie Raven for being such a wonderful human being and supporting the great charity Dexters odyssey in memory of his close friend and dabbing buddy, Dexter.
Dexter was a magician, gamer and Super Hero. He was a little star who shone so bright, but for a shorter time than is fair. His lovely family now help others who have children with Cancer, in his memory. Raising funds for all who need to visit and spend time with their Children at the Bristol Children's Hospital, Oncology Unit.
Jamie Raven performed his brilliant and funny Magic show twice, Cheeky Chops and I once, for the Family show.
The venue Smoke and Mirrors is amazing, such an intimate space where the audience hangs on every word. The laughter filled the room and Dexter would have been proud. Thank you to Mark Bennett for supplying the venue and providing his skills as Compere and Comedy Magician throughout the day.
A Big Thank you to Lucy Liebow and Andy Liebow for inviting Chris P Tee Magician and Cheeky Chops to perform and for looking after Jamie and I so wonderfully. You guys are doing an amazing job and Dexter would be, as he was, very proud of you both.
Lot's of Love, Christian.

Cheeky Chops over the moon to perform on the same stage as his hero @jamieravenmagic at the UK's only boutique magic bar @smokemagicbar today. Great to be helping such a fantastic cause like @dextersodyssey who help families who have children with cancer. #chrisptee #crispymagic #bristolmagician #kidsmagician #bristolmagicman #CheekyChops #smokeandmirrors #cancer #fundraising #jamieraven
