  1. I came across a fascinating video and thought wow ! never knew the half of it . We just amble by them possibly look up at how many they seat, even jump in one on a tender port run to and from shore . My question is P&O, Cunard or any other do they all operate the same ,should the worst happen ? I know we have posters who have worked on the ships and would be great to hear their input on ships of the IONA / ARVIA size ships ,or any of the fleet really . Will leave you with the film ....... Thanks for watching .
  2. Takes me back to my holidays in the Costas years ago 🤣 They kept you regular those Spanish 🙃
  3. It does , I was doing a booking and the lady at the call centre said "That cabin has been taken ." I had to come out of the booking as she would do it whilst I was on the phone anyway.
  4. I remember the time my Sister went on holiday and trusted us with caring for her dog. His name was Butch ,cute little Yorkshire Terrier . What a fuss she made, when to feed him ,walk him and so on . I was told he liked playing in gardens and could I throw a ball for him as well ? To me it seemed a little over the top, but he looked great in his little tuxedo🙃
  5. Hi I use my laptop windows 10 on chrome but it also has Microsoft edge built into the windows 10 . So I have just tried on the Edge and first attempt when selecting a cabin I got the message "There has been a technical error, please try later " So I clicked on retry and it worked exactly the same as on Chrome ,showing pop up box and let me complete dummy booking . Not sure what the problem is with Edge and hope you get sorted soon .
  6. Even on the pop channels ..Alice Cooper wanted to be elected , no getting away from it 😉
  7. Just had a go myself and where I think your going wrong is ,.. For example ,you have a balcony on deck E but click edit cabin and maybe see a cabin on deck A you like, so select it . A pop up screen now appears giving you details and price but you you don't see is that you have to scroll down to select this cabin within this pop up box . If you just close the box and hit continue then it will take you back to your original choice on deck E. Bad design having the "select this cabin" hidden that is until you scroll down within the pop up box . Hope this helps 🙂
  8. I hated my boss at work and one day I heard he had fell fell down a wishing well😮 I was amazed, I didn't think they worked. 🙃
  9. We used to buy a couple of bottles from shops when in port .
  10. Our supermarkets are taking the mick at the moment . Morrison want £ 141.7 ..Asda £139.7 and sat between them two independents selling at £138.9 .They have both beaten the supermarkets for quite a while now .
  11. And as the price of car insurance hit's stupid amounts for the "New to the road" drivers , we also have them driving with no insurance . A while back I watched a guy pulled by the police ,who said this is the 2nd time in as many months they had nicked the guy and scrapped his car . The guy told the TV crew , he did not care as he found it cheaper than being legit . He got done something like £150 ,a community order and his car scrapped. He told the cops "take it ,I will have another in a week or so.
  12. Exactly what I did with Funchal in Madeira ,until the cruise ships ,it was never on my holiday radar .
  13. Yep the prices are still going up . I like to use our local chippys as a barometer of what's going off with the prices , using their portions of chips. We like a large fish and chips to share every couple of weeks but we have seen the chip price rise at least twice and also a marked reduction in the amount you get . A while back you would get a large portion for under £2 now you can pay £3.50 for less . It cannot be easy when the spuds ,gas elect ,cooking oil and staff wages are going up and I'm sure this is the case for most places we eat out as well. I did read that fuel prices are falling and some food as well but will we ever see our purchase prices fall ? I doubt it 🤔
  14. They say they want to ban Just the British male stag do's. Makes you wonder what the attraction was apart from drugs and the red light areas .🙃
  15. Just been reading they are closing the cruise port in Amsterdam .. Reason seems they do not want tourists 🤔🤔 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66264226

  17. Once upon a time they were not allowed upon our streets but since our councils have money to be made from them all is ok . We see them all over the place in city's for people to get from A to B ,some just dumped on street corners . They seem exempt from red traffic lights to some who ride them . Good for some and a pest to others
  18. Yep it was the latter . Sorry but I don't know the scent of P&O soap🤣 I once did a survey and I asked people what soap they like to use in the shower ? Over 98% of them told me to get out before they report me to the police 🙃😉 Enjoy your cruise 🙂
  19. My wife was doesn't like that the dog was considered man's best friend. She maintains that her as wife should be considered my best friend. So I locked them both in the boot of my car and drove around for thirty minutes. Guess which one was happiest to see me when I let them out ?🙃
  20. The Mrs has just gave our grass /lawn a once over as after tomorrow most of UK.... ..(Not Scotland ) is due a very wet weekend and beyond for some . They are saying could be a months rainfall.
  21. As the school holidays start ,letters are being left in cabins from P&O regarding children . This was sent to us from a group Mrs K reads and thought it may be handy for some who travel with children as we do see people asking info about the hot tubs and pools from time to time on these boards . This was Azura
  22. As a early morning user of the buffet on Ventura we would be there 6.30 when it was continental until 7am onwards then the hot stuff. The hot area was corded off whilst they put things out and so the last thing to be put out was the serving utensils . As for the eggs even in the MDR breakfast ,they could be hit and miss. Some come out too hot hence a solid yolk which Mrs K hates . The worst thing in the buffet for us was the toast, unless you caught them putting fresh out it was like eating a roof tile (not that I have ever tried) that just shattered it was that dry .
  23. They say the answer can never be found at the bottom of a bottle of wine . I have heard it can be enjoyable finding this out though 🙃
  24. Good morning everyone . A wet drizzly 14.c day at the moment . We have took to eating healthy and I like dried grapes ,.I've started telling all my friends about the benefits of eating dried grapes........ Really It's all about raisin awareness.🙃 Have a good day everyone .🙂
  25. Not sure if you're reading these posts Sharon . Hope your on the mend and getting better. Take care
