I'm not sure many on Celebrity in January will be wearing Pearls!

I'm 6'4" Lola so hopefully would carry them off. 🙂

Quite true, you could get a nasty poke from a tuna melt (unavailable on Silversea).

Haha, That's why we all love you so much.

I Know its only tatt but I do quite like it. I Don't know why more men don't wear pearls.

I Think the alternative to cultured is natural! I do actually quite fancy a set of pearls. Ive been thinking about this one for a while. https://www.viviennewestwood.com/en/men/jewellery/necklaces/man.-bas-relief-pearl-necklace-silver-6301009902P104P104.html

I Suppose if it's not leaving the Shengen area there is no need although in the past on the Medi go round we've always handed them in.

I Think Pearls are the only thing I don't prefer cultured!

I'm not a great one for jewellery but I do think it would be handy sometimes to have a bib of pearls to clutch.

I Believe they hold them for clearing immigration when arriving in Port. Inspectors can request to see them for all passengers or deny entry.

I’ve seen several reports recently though of peoples Hotels being switched, last minute, to something of a much lower grade and way out of town. I Still prefer to make my own arrangements and know where I stand.

I’ve a couple of HH’s and they are wonderful. I saved a fortune too. Yes I had to spend a little to save a lot but a great investment!

I Had exactly this on a Nile Cruise in Nov 19. A large group of Chinese tourists came on half way through and it went right through the boat. We hadn’t heard of Covid at that point but I had every symptom.

You could always just put patches over the knees and elbows!

Have a great time Jolly, are the volcanoes still active?

Me too, I thought it was my iPad but the same on my Mac.

Aren’t we all? Every year when I drag our 15ft Christmas tree down to our compost heap I’m scratching like a Limehouse hooker for a couple of days. My arms look like the book of Exodus in braille. There’s a big difference though between a reaction from handling something and walking into a room that contains it! People that scream the word ALLERGY when they should really use the word intolerance detract from the true suffering that people with genuine allergies have to live with every day of their lives.

I’ve never heard of such a life threatening allergy to pine, fir or spruce. Maybe they’ve never heard of hay fever or perhaps are being a little dramatic. I’d suggest that that person might fair a little better by either staying at home during the Christmas season or visiting somewhere with slightly less Pagan traditions. Antarctica might be a good starting point.

You crack me up 🤣😂🤣

Have a fabulous time Lois. looking forward to hearing all about it xxx

despite his condition he’s a bit of a one for the ladies. I’m afraid he might end up on a register (not a KC one).

Especially when you have no lights in your cabin for a whole week. Or tv or phone. I Believe the Nova and Dawn both now have electrical lighting in all Cabins which is certainly a plus.

Welcome back Stumbles.

I So hope I can pull it all off, it would be amazing to see you both again. So the last few bits I need to tie in are from Toronto to Carleton place, Niagra Falls, Albany then New York.

I Hope so M. This far out I can’t get timetables but my research is all based on entering Jan 24 dates.
