molecrochip Posted January 11, 2020 #28 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Given current associations, more chance of Claire Sweeny being Godmother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nothing at all to do with this thread so please forgive me for a little waffle …. but I do often wonder why she never goes on a P&O cruise --- unless they won't let her on ! (On the Christmas episode the ship she was on was never talked about and its name blotted out .. it was like 'guess the cruise line!) ……...

If it was the one aired just before Christmas to Croatia etc, it was the Silver Shadow. I know this as our ta sent an offer saying 'as seen on TV tonight with Jane Mcdonald'..

They obviously didn't want the publicity. It was very bizarre. Have just had a look at their site - very nice ! Looks like she has just had a refit so am wondering if the company didn't want to show her post refit. Thanks for answering that puzzle :-) Back to the OP ;-) Edited January 11, 2020 by Presto2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted January 11, 2020 #37 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Received the email and as it had no sound - thought it was my laptop, but reading above gives the indication it's not!! Probably trying to get us all excited before announcing her godmother (who nobody's heard of?) Edited January 11, 2020 by purplesea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for answering that puzzle 🙂 Back to the OP 😉 I thought it was a Silversea ship but didn't know which one. They seemed to go to great lengths to hide everything about the ship name and line. It is very strange that they didn't want the publicity. I wonder if there was some sort of disagreement between the line and the production company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the header but I didn't read the rest. She's headlining a cruise aboard RCI's Anthem OTS in September. The publicity is that she has sort of chartered it but there is also a company called "Floating Festivals" involved. According to their website, inside and ocean view cabins are sold out. Obstructed view balcony cabins start at £1499 with non-obstructed £100 more. £12.50 pppd service charge not included. She's doing two concerts plus "An audience with" show. Three ports and 3 sea days. No inclusive drinks other than coffee, tea and juice so not cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy I'd love to go on Silversea Andy - maybe if I get a big payout from Ernie one day 😁. I have been lucky enough to have dinner and drinks on one that was berthed beside Tower Bridge in London a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
