Hip, hip hooray for the oldies.🤣

Your post puts things in perspective . At our local Pizza restaurant it costs over £50 and we get 20% discount. A decent 3 course meal for 2 is well over £60. On a cruise, 3 meals a day. We don't expect fine dining , just quite nice will do.

Same here. We are only 73/67......... when we grow up........maybe..🤔

I guess like most folk we like to mix things up. Overseas A Inc hotels ( min 4*), cruises, weekends away ( UK and overseas) UK hotels, caravans/lodges. Premier Inns and other chains. We don't compare them as they are all different. We are all different. We enjoy them all.

This was the view from ours. I think it was Weymouth.🤣

Perhaps having Wallace and Gromit on board may tempt you.

We get moments magazine and are only Atlantic. At the China chef we get a calendar and free prawn crackers. Come on P&O...get with the programme.🤣
-
So are we, but cheer up, only another £50k to spend and we will get a free calendar.

My son has been nagging me to watch it. If you like who done it's Dad ,you will love this. It's got a good twist in the tail. Worth persevering. -

All that singing and jollyment. Back to work will cure it.🤔 -
Similarly, when the floating hotel reaches port, it parks in the dock area with a wonderful view of the shipping containers and the background noise. Beep,beep,beep,beep.......

Turning this around, some, us included view the prices on Britannia, Iona and Arvia as ' about right' to compete with land hotels. We will pay a bit of a premium to cruise. What we won't do is pay a lot more to cruise on the smaller, older ships. Some will and good luck to them.

I respect your mouse's decision but must admit to being disappointed. DW was disappointed that she hadn't seen a moose in our trip through the rockies and Alaska. Disappointment continued through Nova scotia. In Lunenburg I visited the cloakroom Lo and behold.

My 14 nights on Iona in October is well over £2,000pp. That is select balcony. I guess you can always go cheap and book an Inside saver.

Hands up all those who want to see a recording of Harry's singing mouse.🤣 -
Some do, some don't. Fat Duck in Bray, yes. Down the road ( or up the river ), the coach in Marlow ,no.

For Christmas lunch, a couple of non family members joined us. We didn't know their expectations, so we used a Christmas tablecloth AND placemats. Didn't want them thinking the Zap's were common as muck.

Do you recommend any particular brand of cleaning product. Bathroom and kitchen as well, if your expertise extends that far.🤔

Turkey in, bacon sandwich eaten and arguments started. Good start. We will record Charles's speech and play it when we are out. -
Our tour guide was just like Nelson Mandela, about 80 with the same voice. We visited the Botanical Gardens and stopped for drinks at a small hotel overlooking an Island. One of the places we would go back to in a heartbeat.
-
To us, every Island in the Caribbean has its own magical charm, Trinidad not so much, but every Island we have visited, about 30 was enchanting.
-
Britannia is our favourite too, but we are on Iona next October. We know we will have a great time.We did a stay cation cruise in Iona. It was fine. All cruises are.😁

Happy Christmas to you all Especial the folk who I have inadvertently offended.🫂😇😂 -
Both of those are on the long weekend wish list. We enjoyed our visit very much. As you say, SPB, glad we went, but won't be ' Russian back '.
