Good morning hope everyone's as well as can be 🙂 I hope you have a great time when the Grandkids come over to see you Michelle . Blackpool, haven't been there for a few years now ,probably too busy sailing past on cruise ships. I remember once passing a tram stop and seeing two lovely young ladies but they were both sobbing there eyes out. Taking pity on them I said " Let me take you into the cafe and buy you a cup of tea.. ..Everyone feels better with a cup of tea " They seemed reluctant at first so I offered to buy a cake as well they could share. Once I got them settled with a cup of tea they seemed much better .. That was until I passed them the cake and knife.. All I said was "Right ,who's going to be mother ?" 🙃 Hope you all have a great day .take care

I did the same Brian and was surprised when I found out where it came from . How they get it cheaper is anyone's guess, maybe ask it to swim to the UK 😉 For anyone who likes posh fish ,it calls itself Blue grenadier in the UK. With a name like that we didn't know if to salute or eat it 🤣 On your last part ,that saying .."Cheap as chips " Think that's a thing of the past looking at what our local chippy charges these days🙃

Sorry to hear of your previous cancellations and reasons for them . I agree with Tring ,you need to speak with P&O as they will have your options, if any, that could work for you . Hope you manage to get away this time .

Whilst out and about today we decided to eat out and could not decide between a carvery (pub lunch) or fish restaurant but pulled off the motorway for the pub . Despite all those lovely joints of meat ,we still decided on their fish and chips . Unknown to us they have switched from Cod to Hoki which was just OK but not for us , so back to carveries next time I pass or the fish restaurant next time we fancy a fish meal .

So am I .😮. Hope your well soon 🙂 Ps Hope your boss aint off skiing somewhere 🙃😉

Morning , a nice 17.c ,bright but looks like it was rain overnight . @DamianG I know you have to jump on that train(when it runs )... Have you ever thought of calling in sick ?? 🤣🤣 🙃 Take care everyone 🙂

All that pizza then a nice juicy steak ,then cake and ... Bet you will be singing a Rod Stewart song ??? 🤣😉 You & Pauline enjoy mate

The way to look at it he has gave you all his love and trust ... Now he's counting on that trust that you gave him as a pup. Whatever happens he will be with you in your heart.. But pain free . Take care Michelle (you have got a lot on your plate at the moment ,Bless)🙂

It sure is and tomorrow will be your first step towards getting sorted as well. So good luck with that and any news on the dog yet ?

Vamps .. Google goggles ..Swimming goggles 😉

The worst one we had was on the TA Azura in Bridgetown and told to go to the Malabar at 8pm .then altered to 10pm, due to a late plane arrival. By the time they started the drill I would say 1/4 of the room were nodding off or were asleep. I have always been of the opinion that taking the life jackets with you was a waste of time , a demo was just as good . After all you never get them when your sat on your Boeing 737-800 asking everyone to put them on do you ? A lot of people would look at them as toys and start playing with the light or whistle anyway . The best drills we have had was ,made to stand under your life boat and instructed from there as what to do in an emergency . I realise that bigger numbers ,it is better to have assembly points for these drills . It may not sink in whichever way P&O choose to do these drills and if the worst comes to the worst ,some will be sat in a life craft ,in their shorts T-shirt and flip flops, feeling crap due to not having their medication with them . Saying "No one told me take medication and a warm layer of clothes " Oh yes they did !!!!

Good for you ,nice to have hobbies 🙂 When on my last cruise I met an Australian guy and he knew what I liked but he still asked me anyway ' He said to me "What's your favourite hobby, sport?" 🙃

Wait until your fully retired, you will wonder how you ever found the time to be anything else 🙃

Hope your hubby makes a good recovery soon . With your track record on holiday mishaps Mega ,do you ever think "Why me ?" I think a travel agent from your past must have put a curse on you 😉 Hope you get it all sorted soon 🙂

Morning 14.c with a little sun this morning . Lets talk customer service as we get people who tell us how bad it can get . I can tell you it's not just the ships ,it can happen anywhere like supermarkets. I was in one the other day wanting some chicken cuppa soups and as I past a young lady who worked there I thought I'd ask if they had any in stock ? " I'll see " she said and went on her way . Some 15 minutes went by and what looked to be a shop floor manager had noticed me just stood there. So I asked him "Does he know if they sell boxes of Chicken cuppa soups ? " As he went off he told me "I'll see" and the annoying part for me was he never came back either. Not happy with this service I began to work my way out of the supermarket, but then I had a stroke of luck . I found my chicken cuppa soups in isle C 🙃 Have a nice day

This is what I read a while ago and poster ann141 was replying to Selbourne asking of his whereabouts .

I posted that another poster (who's name slipped my mind ) had said he was posting on other media. Suppose he has his reasons and will come back in his own time. Getting back to you John ,I hope your not feeling too bad due to the Plague you seem to have acquired.

Years ago I used to have inside cabins and no complaints from us. Now years later we do not drink nor do we smoke but do enjoy a lot of time on our balcony so to us it's money well spent . So we do agree with you . Everyone else can choose what suits them .

Sorry to hear this John ,hope the Mrs stays clear of it and you get better soon .

Fully agree, all ship companies learn from all ships incidents such as the C C disaster and the life boat tragedy on Tomson Majesty . Most safety regs/ laws are built /adapted from such incidents . So same as you I put my faith /trust in them ,otherwise I also would not set foot on a ship either.

In the life boat film I noted very little mention of when nature calls . Pleased to see for the fine diner's among you , rather than the biscuit ,there is the option of line caught fish .Regrettably serve yourself .

Oh you mean that film where they plonk you on the Captains table ..To eat with the crew .🙃

Thanks for that Moley ,I cannot recall seeing those for the choice of a better word ... "Bum " marks on the floor of the tenders we have used with P&O. I had an inkling that the SOLAS regs would cover most of the onboard stuff . Just found the video amazing ,will look at them boats in a different light should I stroll under one of the life boats.. Thanks for your input .

Let you into a little secret. My Mrs takes them off the bed even in our overnight stay hotels. She very much doubts they see a washing m/c very often and dreads to think what has been on them , So no big loss to us really. Thanks for your helpful posts and as you say most can be worked around . Thank you .
