Back to your original question, I would strongly suggest that you explore the nooks and crannies of the ship. I have not done this in the past and regretted finding a bit of the ship the day before leaving. An example, we sat next to someone the day before the leaving and they had not explored very much of the entertainment and when we were telling her our experience, she was sorry to not have seen more. Definitely recommend trying all the food options at least once. The specialty restaurants are all included but you have to book as smaller than the main dining, but ALL the food is fab throughout the day. We are booked on Adventure next year and looking forward to the food changes. The trips were very well organised and the thing I find most comforting about Saga is the feeling of care and safety, they really do look after you. Enjoy.

The machines in yes, The Library,  but in fact anywhere have wonderful chocolate. I tended to err on the side of the dark chocolate but you could have milk, extra foam etc. There was a regular visit to the Grill to pick one up before bed. 

Ah yes I see about made in China. It is difficult to find unique, independent gifts! Good to know what has been available and no I would not pay £15 for a tea towel either........

Thank you for the replies.😀 Make the most of trips out by the look of it. Certainly more judicious about what I buy these days but love buying gifts for people they may not see at home.

Thanks for that, goof to know:) I was hoping to see some items that may have been sourced on port stops. 

I know this is a bit shallow but I have sourced a few interesting items from the often impromptu shopping opportunities on board and wondered if any were evident? I appreciate the shops are there but they mostly have a standard stock I expect.
