A friend at work often had unusual proposals. Like folk doing what they were paid to do. At meetings he would sometimes be asked...Are you joking ? '.no, Mike he would reply.

Sorry I don't interest you.😪

It was a trend to name children after the place they were conceived...Paris, Brooklyn, etc.I explained this to our son when he asked why we named him Travelodge.

Your right. It's getting a bit repetitive.

In 30 or so cruises we have only seen a couple of passengers who had obviously had a few too many. Perhaps this is blown out of all proportion.

+£40pppd for all that booze. That's. X + 🤔🤔, or 40 × 14 =🤔🤔. That's...lots.

Just a thought, but why would folk intent on booze.and sun go on cruise when a week AI in a Mediterranean hotel is £5/600. We are of to Majorca in June .........nuf said.🤣

Not having experienced drunken behaviour I fully accept your analysis. As for price cutting, I get several emails a day detailing the latest RC, X bargains. If fact got one just now from CC with a list of offers from their trusted TA partner. Actually on Britannia in the Caribbean we did have a drunk that kept coming up to us on the deck party......can I have a dance...no....oh please I only want one dance....DW said ,go on dance with her she may go away...I did..and she did..problem gone away.

I'm sure nobody finds drunken behavior amusing, but branding folk ' those types of people ', or assuming they are on reduced price cruises with drinks packages, based on a couple of reported incidents is going going a bit.

Me neither.

I don't agree, or disagree, but MB's experience was on a Christmas Britannia Caribbean cruise, I doubt was a cheap clearance offer, the other one was Iona in January. I don't know about cheap late discounts then. Looking back a couple of references to drunks on Cunard. Lots of Generalisations and few incidents. Over the years we seen drunks on all sorts of holidays. We tend to ignore them and walk away.

Post #134

I don't categorise folk by their ' type '. What evidence is there that these 2 incidents were caused by folk purchasing and abusing drunks packages. ? None asfar as I can see. Is there an increase in ' this sort of behaviour '. Is 2 an increase?

Once it descends from a couple of unpleasant incidents into a blame all ' A certain type of person' due to cheap prices and drinks packages thread it loses credibility.

I too thought I had drifted into some parallel universe. I can only remember seeing one drunk on a ship. A young American on an NCL ship. The drink of choice seemed to be a white zin from one buck Chuck. Apparently that is the ' new ' blue nun.

Is it only ' A certain type of person ' who drinks to excess. P&O didn't have drinks Packages in 2008, but did have wine packages. Those didn't include blue nun, so probably weren't purchased by ' A certain type of person '.🤔

We have booked a week valet parking at in February at Gatwick for £119. 2 weeks in December is £111. Sometimes stuff goes down in price

There are not many veggie meals that attract me, but I agree, this one sounds interesting.

We went to Amsterdam about 10 years ago. On the plane home (easyjet) DW said ' so what did you think of it ,?,' I said it's like all my friends went there in 1968 and never came home.

Looks quite nice. Who's the old bloke in flip flops with a paint brush ?. I thought it looked like Brian, but he was a plumber🤔

We are currently in Pizza express, Woking........no he isn't!......we said we haven't been to Southsea since lockdown. Picnic, ice cream, stroll along the prom. Watch out for the coppers. Could have got busted for Southseagate. Many places have their good points..😁

We are on Azura in 4 weeks. Plane seats booked. Gatwick parking booked . Claim form downloaded. Nearly ready.😂

Now that Wallace and Gromit are on some ships they may have the right cheese.🤣

Sometimes folk don't realise. I think it's sick ( urban definition )🤣
