Dull and damp was the start of our weather here, then misty. My son requested a lift to Truro as it was raining, the rain turned torrential resulting lots of standing water. I called in at Tesco on my way back, as I wasn't going to go out again in that, and bumped into my daughter (literally). Now I'm home the rain has stopped, for now. Typical!

Morning everyone, Another damp day down here but fairly mild at 11c. OH birthday today. Got visitors tomorrow so plan on having a baking session, but need to take a trip to Asda or Tesco first, other than that nothing planned. @Peanut006 I hope you have a great cruise. I'm on countdown to mine now☺️ Hope everyone has a good weekend.

+3, also a rollator.

Sorry to hear you weren't well yesterday, and glad you feel better today. Take care and take it easy.

I hope you have a great cruise. As you know we were supposed to be on this one too, and I was looking forward to meeting up for a promised drink, but we cancelled as Mum decided that the flight would be too much for her. We are on the following cruise instead, so please leave her nice and tidy🤣

I haven't seen or heard anything about this. Mum has a manual folding wheelchair and we are due to sail on Arvia on Easter Sunday, 31st March.

We do not have the option of travelling to the port by coach, so always travel up to the port, or airport if flying, the day before.

Sorry to read this. I hope everything gets sorted and you enjoy your cruise.

Wishing Pauline a Happy Birthday

Hi all, A dull and breezy day here, although very mild for this time of year. Yesterday next door had some work done on his house and it has been discovered that the ridge tiles need repointing, so that work is now being done and it sounds like we have elephants on the roof. I was feeling headachy when I got up and they are not helping! Meeting a couple of friends for coffee this morning, but other than the normal chores nothing else planned. Hope everyone has a good day.

We had difficulty getting served drinks on Azura in January.

When on Brtiannia there were seven of us in three cabins all linked, next door to each other and we too also had different boarding times.

Morning everyone, hope you are all well. A nice mainly sunny day here, with temps into double figures. Will need to make the most of it as rain is forecast again for tomorrow. Had visits from three of my daughter's yesterday bringing presents of chocolates, flowers and wine. Check in details became available yesterday for our Arvia cruise at Easter. We have a 3.30pm check in, so quite a bit of hanging around in the afternoon!

Graham, I too would just like to add my condolences to you all on the sad news of Sarah's Dad.

Morning all, Bright and sunny but the sky is looking very dark out the back. I went to bed early last night as I was cold and shivery, but got up a couple of hours later for a few hours before heading back. I still don't feel right, so am thinking of taking myself back again. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Aye, it is a bit blustery and chilly out today.

Morning all, A rather blustery day with strong winds although it is dry and sunny, but does feel cold as it's so windy. Hope all goes well @kalos at the hospital. Nothing much planned for today, but a nice day for a walk.

Morning everyone, We have another sunny day here😲 and quite mild too. Had a lovely evening last night catching up with my friend. Although it was such a long time since we met up it didn't feel like it. Nice to hear that Michelle and Zennizor are planning to meet up on the TA, but disappointed that I won't be joining you, as we cancelled. We are however getting on the day you get off, so please leave her nice and tidy!☺️

Looking ahead to next week's weather it should be better, at least it's forecast to be dry!

I had been looking at a cruise for March 2026 and booked it while we were on board Azura in January and there were very few cabins available of the grade we were looking at. The price onboard was the same as before we left home, but by booking on board we have got an additional £300 OBC making our total OBC £780, and a lower deposit. On checking the price yesterday it has gone up by £50 pp, but the OBC has dropped to £150. On my return home, our TA had added a discount too, so am more than happy.

Morning everyone, After a lovely sunny day yesterday we are back to mizzle. Going out for a meal tonight and meeting up with an old school friend who has come down to the area for a visit. Can't believe it is seven years since we last saw each other. So looking forward to having a good catch up. Other than that nothing planned. Hope you all have a good day. Pam

Morning to you all, I hope everyone is well or if not well on the road to recovery. It's a nice bright sunny day down here and feels pleasantly warm. Our garden squelches when you walk on it and my mother's garden flooded with all the rain we've had. I can't believe that it is over 4 weeks since I got back from my cruise and haven't been on here in all that time.😲 We had a lovely cruise and after the stress of getting there. The return journey was the complete opposite, problem free. We landed on time, got to the station early and the assistance team arranged for us to get an earlier train and travel first class. A lot has been going on since we got back, One of my sons has moved back in, so we have had to rearrange things to make room for him and his stuff. With the stress of it all I've been having more pains in my head and headaches. On the happier note. My daughter has got engated. We've had a meal out for my other son's birthday, with not just one birthday case, but two! OH invited him round for Sunday dinner while we were out, the others commented that that was favouritism, so they all came too! And of course another birthday cake. Off now to catch up with some of the other threads.

No, a standard balcony cabin on one of the higher decks and only Mediterrean in tier.

When we were in Marseille last year the drop off point was near the Cathedral.

My mother uses a folding wheelchair and we have had no issues booking a standard cabin. We had a standard cabins on Iona and Britannia and have a de-luxe cabin booked on Arvia. We had booked assistance for my mother on Britannia last year, but on arrival at the port they had no knowledge of it, although on board they did have notification of her allergy. Both of which were sent to P&O at the same time and acknowledged. On our most recent cruise (January) I declared a walking stick for my husband, but it was queried at the airport? I now take a hard copy of the completed questionaire to prove my point.
