  1. For operational reasons Britannia is now calling at Toulon and not Marseille.
  2. Good job she wasn't a solo traveller then. You have probably raised the blood pressure of all solo cruisers, so hopefully they will let their insures aware of that.
  3. I've got medical insurance. I said I have insurance where I am compelled to have. You need insurance to travel with P&O.
  4. Self insure what for tens of thousands of pounds?
  5. So your Aunt has a medical problem that the insurance may not be willing to pay out for, and you say "we" are going to get sued. Who are we? I'd love to know how anyone other than your Aunt could possibly be liable for any costs.
  6. Aarhus is a great place. One of the largest cargo ports in Northern Europe. Some of the many attractions, which are a short walk from your ship, include, thousands of shipping containers, huge cranes, and lots of seagulls, which frequently dump white stuff , which can almost make you believe it's snowing. What's not to like?
  7. Never!! I heard you have Anneka Rice on board. Before you leave each port she hands your Captain a sealed envelope. He then opens the said envelope, and therein lies a clue. He's then got to guess where the next port of call is. Unfortunately he guessed wrong this time and hence no Torshaven. BTW don't get spooked if a Helicopter lands on the ship, nobody is getting airlifted, it's just Anneka leaving.
  8. Well I'm sure the Stockholm Port Authority know more than I do. Though I cannot reveal my source, I'm sure that are not making these times up. I will be interested to see how accurate the itinerary I have given you turns out to be. Looks like it will be a great cruise whatever. I'm on the very next one, and have a number of plans already afoot for self touring, using the same sources timings, so I hope he/she is fairly accurate.
  9. My source tells me that the Pilots wanted to watch the Serbia v Sweden Nations Cup football game, which was scheduled for a late afternoon kick off, and they feared they might miss it. However the kick off is now 7.45 pm, and so none of the pilots would miss the match. I think my timings for your itinerary are correct as of this time. Please beware that times and ports may be changed due to operational reasons or ***** ups.

  11. Though this seems not what you are saying re Stockholm.

  13. I'm too busy making reasonable guesses at which ports we'll get to, and what restaurants will be open.
  14. They're not on ours, just things like arrive early morning, depart early evening.
  15. If you don't want to have anymore boosters, can we have them please?
  16. Sorry to hear this Megabear. You seem to be moving from one crisis to another right now. Surely things will improve soon. Good luck and keep your chin up.
  17. You would think that with so many people on here using Staysure, that they would read these forums, and respond. Very poor.
  18. I am certainly not attacking you Megabear, but your point is surely open to debate. I answered your quote "Staysure have a new third party emergency team recently appointed. Recent reviews of Davies & Co (the new third party) are pretty dire on Trustpilot." Had you ended your quote at the end of the first sentence, then I would agree that you were merely pointing out they now use a third party to handle claims. However you then go on to quote how dire the reviews of Davies and Co are on trustpilot. I am merely pointing out that there are over 200,000 reviews regarding Staysure (little or no mention of Davies and Co) , and unless you have read them all to see how many are happy with how claims are handled, then I think your pointing to one star reviews is misleading. Very few people will leave reviews after a claim has been settle satisfactorily, but folk are very quick to reach for the keyboard when things go wrong. Personally I don't like looking at reviews on major websites. I don't trust them. Finally Megabear I do value your contribution to this site and do not intend to offend you in anyway. Don't let me or anyone else's opinions put you off posting.
