You are quite correct. Humans have been cruel to animals for centuries

I like this post very much

Its actually a fact that your opinion is right. It's your opinion.

I have no issue with them and actually enjoy a few on YouTube. Cruise with Ben and David is my favourite one. These fellas love their food. And always show what they are eating. They convinced me to try the French onion soup on Beyond. And I now love it. And can't wait to get back on board for more.

Maybe it was because we had had various drinks in other bars prior to getting to the martini bar. Taste buds might have been already sweetened. Wife couldn't stand it either.

There waa a couple.of cocktails that had Jalapeños in them. They were very strong ones.

This may well be the case. It was like sucking on a salt tablet. Not sure how anyone can enjoy drinking something salty as a drink mind. The nearest thing it reminded me of was accidentally swallowing salt water whilst swimming in the sea.

Yes. It was the first on the list, on the night we decided to work our way through the list of cocktails. It was quickly replaced with a drinkable one. Even the bartender laughed when i tasted it.

I had a vodka martini with dill pickle. It was shockingly bad. The worst one was a martini with olive brine. Was like sucking sea water.

Yup thats me too. I am very conscious of how fast these days go by so I want to max every minute. Sleeping for 8 hours for 11 nights is 3.5 days sleeping. Sleeping should be banned on cruise shjips.

I am scared of all mice whether they be pets are wild ones.

Nah. Not at all. There is so much to see and do on the ship, so when we are at a port I dont fancy, or somewhere we have seen previously, we may want to spend the time relaxing on a near empty ship. The other bars of which you speak, are not free. Also, a quiet port day on ship, helps recovery from errrrrrrrrr, the previous nights bar activity.

I really really disliked Santorini. I suspect it was revulsion at the treatment of the donkeys. How any self respecting human can ride one of those poor things up those steps is beyond my comprehension. Loved Kusadasi in Turkey. And Istanbul is incredible. I have a soft spot for Naples.

Its an amazing place. Like stated above the cruise into Kotor is spectacular. Still thought Dubrovnik was slightly better.

This.

Most UK folk have little desire to go to London. Ever. There are many many much nicer places. Hundreds.

You will never get Cricket then.

I had 40 dollars worth of turkish lira so I left that, I also left 40 euro too. I roughly worked out that I gave around 75 dollars. But as I dont carry dollars they get whatever I have.

oh, and this was my only complaint about the cruise. The rest was marvellous. Just to ensure people didnt think I was just moaning😋

On the occasion I was with the future cruise rep, there was at least 6 kids upto around 11 I would say, looked they were playing a game of hide and seek, on Deck 4, running between future cruises and Cafe Al Bachio. There was no parents with them. Hence the comment from the Rep. She looked genuinely shocked. They were also playing in the lifts behind the Casino. Of course, if you take children on an 11 night cruise on a ship, with very little for kids to do, then I suppose this is all they have. It was such a bad look for Celebrity.

This is probably so true. INfact its definitely true

That was a mental summer in the UK. England does go football crazy if the national team does well. Wimbledon a bit too serene for most of us though. And if I remember right trump wasn't exactly welcomed with open arms so there was lots of protests. And I should remember the heat as that doesn't happen often.

Does this happen on other cruise lines? I have only sailed celebrity in the last 20 years and this is first time I felt I was on a family cruise. Even a crew member from the future cruise desk said they had never seen anything like it before.

Happened quite a lot on celebrity beyond last week. Seems like the kids were bored and access to the lifts was through part of the casino. I think their parents thought the crew were child minders. Strange for a company selling itself as more premium?

I love staying on the ship in Port days. Ship is nearly empty and there is no forced fun taking place on the pool deck. Bars are still open, and so is the buffet. What's not to love?
