I'm on the 22nd April sailing from Southampton, which has been moved to 23rd April due to the previous cruise from Dubai to Southampton being cancelled (Red Sea issues) but haven’t heard of any others being cancelled.

Gratuities of the Seas 🤣🤣🤣

I bought a top from an online shop (in the UK) and at checkout it asked if I wanted to leave a tip 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s great thank you 😊

Oh thank you - that’s interesting to know!!! 😎😎

Hi everyone, Next year I will be on my first MSC cruise on the Virtuosa, having done a few Royal Caribbean, P&O and one Costa cruise in the past. Can someone let me know if you are allowed to pick morning or evening cabin service (assuming it has gone down to once a day) or do you just get it when they get round to it each day and don’t get a choice? thanks 😎

If you can remember the ship and dates you can look on Shipmate - go to ‘Explore’, then ‘Ships’ and pick your cruise line, ship, then click ‘Itineraries’ and sailing date, it will tell you the itinerary. 😎 not sure how far it goes back though

The Pilgrim Inn in Marchwood, just across Southampton Water, is lovely, and only a short drive in the morning to the port ☺️

I agree! I did Anthem out of Southampton in 2015 which I loved, but when I looked at it again for this year it still has ALL the same entertainment! 8 years later! Not for me! 🤣

Apparently there were ‘limited’ toilet facilities in the Abbey, but they were closed from 10.30 until 1pm. ☺️

Amazing pictures!! 👏👏👏👏

Lol that’s Roly 😺😺 loving your review - you have such a brilliant style of writing 😁😁

Sorry, TOM not Tim! 🤣

A Fatal Crossing by Tim Hindle is a good one! It’s set on a cruise ship in the 1920s and has a lot of characters to keep track of, but if you like a mystery, it’s a cracker!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
