New Cruise Ships

Point taken, we were a party of 7 onboard, that day.
But all friends, and just for a day out anyhow - still quite acceptable, in my books!

For overnighting, the boat has 7 beds in 3 cabins. Used to have also a small crew area with one bed, but we converted it into an utility room.
Anyhow, we never board more than another couple, when going out for longer.
Oh, and no pets of any kind, so we must rely on our own food & drink reserves - of which usually we have plenty!

Wow, nice video Mr. Mapism, crystal clear waters and I didn’t see any sharks..
How far from the nearest town or city is this?

We tried a cruise on a big ship this year, just to see if we could stomach it, we couldn’t, too much humanity.
Trying a small ship with only 56 pax cabins in November, across the Atlantic, but only moi, wifey needs to see land.
Then May next year we are taking the same Sea Dream ship on French Riviera cruise, hopefully
we will enjoy it, maybe they even let me helm it.

The Philippines?
Been there a few times, but don’t remember no cats on the menu.

I guess not, what kind of folks are in the know..?

That spot is actually just one of several similar ones which I can reach within less than half an hour from my home berth - but that's in a rather small village.
If what you mean is the nearest large(ish) town, with an int'l airport et all, that's Cagliari: about 60Nm of coastal cruising, or 40 mins of ferry+one hour drive.

Ok thanks for the info.
I was just curious why such a pristine anchorage could be so void of tourists and/or locals, hence my question on how far it was from the nearest town.
Here in the colonies we have to sail pretty far to be alone in Paradise: My favorite spot is an island in the Bahamian Exuma Chain called Hawksbill Cay, around 300 nm from our previous home base Fort Lauderdale.. Most of the time the island and the anchorage was deserted but an occasional sailboat would drop the hook and hang out for a few days and we would spend as much as week there for anchor with the solar panels taking care of power for the fridge and the freezer, nice and quiet.

I see. I don't want to derail the thread further, but just to address your curiosity, there are several reasons behind that.
First and foremost, southern Sardinia is generally much less crowded than the northern part of the island (aka Costa Smeralda), which is one of the top megayachts magnet of the whole Med, and in turn this attracts also plenty of other boats of any size.
Second, August is THE holiday month for most Italians, and as soon as it comes to an end, the number of tourists drops like a lead baloon.
So much so, that I consider Sep 1st as the beginning of the boating season - the best part of it, anyhow.
Lastly, the number of secluded anchorages to chose from is remarkably large, so the chances to find one with no other boats around is usually pretty good.
In fact, today we went to another one, possibly even more pictoresque than the one in the video i previously posted, and it was yet again all for ourselves...
...But I'll refrain from posting another video, it's a thread on cruise ships after all!
