P&O SUE

What a shame! My friend is an experienced cruiser so she’s not put off cruising itself. She had a 10.30am embarkation time which is mad!

Those marshmallows with dipping chocolate we had overlooking Ramsgate harbour. We wanted something light as we’d had a huge breakfast in the morning.

Afternoon, I’ve had a lovely couple of days. We went to Broadstairs and stayed overnight. On Sunday we went to Ramsgate before we went home mid afternoon. We were so lucky with the weather, we were sitting outside in short sleeves. Unfortunately I had a rubbish sleep because our room had an annoying noise from vents all night. It was a shame as the hotel was lovely and we had a great breakfast with the nicest poach eggs I’ve ever had.It also had a free car pack which is a rare thing in Broadstairs. In future we’ll go to our usual hotel and pay for parking!

My friend was on that MSC cruise, she said it was very crowded and they struggled to find a seat in bars etc so I don’t think she’ll be going with them again either. I’m not seeing her for a month but I’ll find out more then, they enjoyed the ports as they did WW2 tour at Cherbourg and also found a DDay museum at Portland.

If only I didn’t work!

I know that’s why I said it’s a faff to find. Clicking edit takes you to a suggested cabin and the you can change the deck and area and get a list of available cabins from there!

My parents have got yet another covid injection next week!

And then you’ll get this (sorry I had to post separately as you can’t write after the photo) so then click ‘want to choose your cabin’ and go from there. Good luck!

Hi Josy, it’s more of a faff now, I often have to go back cos I miss it. Get this far Then click edit by cabin

My friend is going from Southampton tomorrow on MSC - she’s got a 10.30am boarding time!!

Ah ok, thanks for that I’ve been going demented going round and round!

My Mum’s isn’t a 4g phone then, that explains it. I did think her old phone wouldn’t get it!

I’ve spoken to my Dad, he got his but my Mum didn’t, I didn’t think she would as hers is very old, it’s Tesco network which is the same as my Dad!

Oh I didn’t get a yes/no thing. They said on the tv you didn’t need to do anything.

I have heard they do sometimes call train strikes at last minute in Italy! Don’t want to worry you but I do overthink these things! In the case I heard P&O did actually wait for latecomers that day but it did sound stressful.

Hi all, I was trying to update my CP today with my passport details etc, why does it never work first time?! So frustrating I’ve been faffing for about an hour and am giving up for now. It won’t say my travel insurance details are completed, I’m going round and round in circles,. Any suggestions? I’ve turned my add blocker off - still doesn’t work. I click the red ‘save’ button then it doesn’t come up completed on the side. I go back into the travel insurance but the red ‘save’ button can’t be clicked - so I click on anything then it lets me save it again - but it doesn’t come up with completed’ again.

They were just testing it today. Apparently in the US they do it for a lot for things like missing children.

Hubby and I got the alert, mine was a second before his- very loud! I’ll be very interested to see if my mum gets one as her phone is very old. My Dad’s is new. I hope no one crashes while driving! It made me jump and I was expecting it!

I like going to the shows but I only go if I think it would be interesting to me. We were on a cruise one time and a Madonna tribute was on, several people walked out within the first ten minutes, she was dressed in the conical bra top (she changed halfway through) We couldn’t help thinking these people didn’t look like Madonna fans so we couldn’t understand why they were going to the show! We were just getting to the stage where we’d seen most of the Headliners shows so didn’t always go. There seems to be more new ones now but we just haven’t been able to cruise much lately but I shall look forward to new ones. We also go to bars that might have a piano player in or the limelight club if on Britannia. We’ve never done the quizzes, bingo or casino on board. I always imagined we’d have leisurely dinners when we first went on a cruise and was shocked how quick we were out of the restaurant but then we found we wanted to be if we wanted to see the show and possibly another act in the show lounge. We’re all different, we all like different things.

Morning all, absolutely awful weather again, really grey with some heavy showers! Really fed up with this now as I know we’ve had much better weather this time of year in recent years. Ah well, nothing we can do, I’m off to do some ironing to warm up!

Hello Jane, I haven’t got the message about logging in with our email addresses? But then I just leave myself signed in so who knows?!

We had a canal boat holiday when I was pregnant so it was 32 years ago - loved it and always said we’d do another one. Never have got round to it for one reason and another but it was lovely. We started and finished at Stratford upon Avon.

I especially meant Princess’s are much dearer then P&O’s.

No so I didn’t like that either.

I’ve had an email today from P&O. We’re booked on a four night cruise in June on Ventura and I’ve been offered the chance to bid for an upgrade! I’m in a normal balcony on Lido deck, I don’t mind as it’s only a short cruise. I can bid at least £50 each for an upgrade to a superior deluxe! I was tempted but some of the cabins look they might be over the nightclub. Also I’m nervous my parents health will mean we have to cancel so I’m not going to risk it!
