You are so right. Staying at home will save a fortune.

Even Barcelona Council are finding things a bit tough. If you want duck a'la Orange..pick your own.

Kalos will reply soon wondering during why sky Princess was eating your breakfast.🤣. Ps. Undercrackers. Yep..predictive let me get away with it this time. Having second thoughts about joining cc yet ?.😂

I guess the naff acoustics don't really affect the silent disco.

Perhaps they thought all their customers followed the hygiene protocols perfectly. I'm sure they will thank me for bringing it to their attention.

Thank you. Most kind.

We had, for the first time, a mid cruise survey. How we doing ? Are you enjoying,or not enjoying things ?. What can we do better?. I told them we were enjoying our cruise and things were working well. I also suggested they have staff at the many washy, washy stations ' as some if your customers are slobs '.

Some new to cruising and some old hands. On this current Arvia cruise there are a good few old hands that love the new ships. In the last couple of years we have sailed with P&O, Celebrity and RC. We need another NCL soon to go up a level and become upper echelon very important persons. P&O will do for us for the next few years as will others .If and when we decide P&O are too downmarket to warrant our continued patronage we will just quietly slip off somewhere else, without announcing our departure to the world.

On Ariva there are around 5,300. I don't know how many are new to cruising, a good few I imagine. Lots of happy smiley passengers and not many grumpy's. I suspect P&O have it about right. If some of the discontents defect to Fred and Saga, I think P&O will survive. Lots of happy little kids found a duck. We didn't, so our next cruise is with Royal.😂

Walace and Gromit tea party at 5.15. You didn't get that In the so called " good old days ". Wrong cheese wheel Gromit.

We are enjoying it. Lots of dining options, bags of entertainment to our mind it is up there with Britannia, but we are common as muck.

We had a boarding time of 13.30 and breezed through, no time for lounges. Sometimes it pays to be a lower tier commoner.

We take 2 bottles of wine. We have never taken spirits, so if true doesn't bother us in the slightest.

We are on Arvia at the moment 3 star?, don't know, but will bow to your greater experience. So far all is fine. Sounds like you won't be booking P&O again.

Forecast was for rain here too. Fortunately it was wrong.

Not too bad here. Greggs is more upmarket as well.

Queen Camilla.🥱

Sorry. Saw your suggestion after shops, coffee,walk and shops. Then back to the ship via the shops. Rains stopped now.

Too misty really. Rain had stopped in Coruña.....for now.

Fairly smooth crossing of the BoB. Weather was mainly overcast. We are now in a rainy A Coruña. Oh well. Nothing to moan about yet. Vast selection of food and entertainment. Yesterday evening La Voix in the Limelight. Interesting.!. followed be Festival in Headliners. We had seen that before, but it seemed better this time, a bit more modern. Onward and upward.

Wow. Traffic a bit slow getting to the terminal. We arrived a few minutes early. CPS took the car after about 10 mins. Straight up to the shed, Checked in and straight onto the ship probably 30 mins from arrival to boarding. We had a time of 13.30 the folk in front of us had 15.30. They were told to go away and come back later....what time shall we come back?....15.30🤣. Best boarding ever. Well done P&O.

I knew I'd forgotten something.......Gail..where are you.🤔

Thanks, you too. Just leaving home now.

DW said to pick a bottle of wine to go in the pasta. I'm allowed to finish up what's left......Malbec?. You normally use the cheap stuff for cooking. Sorry dear, my mistake 🤣

I had no problems with my Android on the Tesco network. Gail said I can't get on the cafe Nero WiFi.. I can.. Facebook isn't downloading pictures....mine is..her Lastest model iPhone isn't so brilliant after all. Packing done. Labels affixed. Documents checked, again. Weather looking better. Pasta sauce bubbling away nicely.....we must have forgotten something.🤔
