    I am sure you will get opposing views so best to read and view what each ship has to offer. Having cruised on Iona and in September on Arvia, I would choose the new girls every time. Not going to list why but let's say newer and better IMO.

    I too find this very odd.

    Got them !

    We are flying to Tenerife in January, no times yet.

    When I think back to the 70's and doing 12 hour shifts when I could for overtime and in the police in those days constables walked a beat, only sergeants drove, sometimes a bike ! Three children under six and on rest days my wife worked as a nurse and I looked after the kids, some rest days ! Where did we get the energy from ?

    Some are happy with an inside cabin, out first dozen or so were inside. Now it's a balcony or no cruise, but others will disagree, personal choice

    What a wonderful summer Sunday afternoon ! F1, with Lewis on pole, golf promising to be an exciting finish and the Ashes, could we do it ? F1, c*** start and Max is away and Lewis is 4th, instant switch over. Ashes, rain stopped play and match abandoned. Golf, for a few minutes it seemed there would be a challenge, not to be, well done Brian Harman. The weather ? Forget it.

    If you can afford a balcony, go for it. We have done so several crossings from Tenerife and the weather hss been warm/hot during the crossing.

    Good for you Graham, lifes too short, enjoy it whilst you can. We have 4 booked over the next 18 months and there may be late additions I have a friend who is a multi millionaire, he won't spend a penny unless he has to, I keep telling him you can't take it with you. He sold his business a few years ago and now pops in and out of his son"s business. Each to their own.

    Great match, loved to see Djokovic beaten. For all you sports lovers, a good weekend awaits, The Open, Ashes, F1 to name just three. Enjoy !!!

    Has anyone stayed in the Royal Southern Yacht Club, Hamble ? Reasonable for B&B @£135 pn.

    Thanks Andy.

    Is it easy to drive into Ocean Terminal, drop off luggage and drive out ? I assume baggage drop off opens about 11.30am ?

    We are boarding Arvia on 17th September, Boat Show weekend. Staying at a pub outside Southampton night before. With the heavy traffic I will leave about 10.30 and walk from Triangle car park to West Quays to pass the time away.

    Shares are a gamble. I only buy what I can afford to lose. So far, if I sold, today I would be nearly £1000 in profit. I may buy again because I think they wil keep climbing, but nobody knows, so please don't do as I do if you don't want to lose money.

    For our September cruise, it coincides with the BoatS Show, Southampton hotels are crazy prices so I've booked on outskirts, £130 with breakfast. Would normally be 30 minutes to port but will leave after breakfast at about 10.30 to allow for heavy traffic.

    Thanks for the info. My current fixed deal ends mid September so I'm leaving it until mid August and look then at what's on offer.
  19. bobstheboy
    I had a look at the Octopus site and the Tracker plan has been withdrawn for new customers. I will have a decision to make when my fixed 2 year deal with Ovo finishes in September. I was very fortunate to fix then, a week later all the fixed deals were withdrawn. I know I will be paying at least double my current £100 pm for duel energy. Good while it lasted.

    I stopped watching after a dog won.

    Nobody. They will be shackled the SHIPS side.

    I am going to ask why Princess can find our Ocean Village cruises, total nights 35 and P&O can't, when it was part of their company
  23. bobstheboy
    My P&O loyalty going back to Ocean Village is on Princess but not on P&O ! Anyone had Ocean Village cruises credited on P& O ?
  24. bobstheboy
    Too subtle !
  25. bobstheboy
    If PandO follow suite, I would sell my shares being well in profit, unless the current rises are maintained.
