Adawn47 Posted February 6, 2020 #76 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Totally agree. There's only the two of us. I don't go holiday to wash, that's for when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go holiday to wash, that's for when I get home. Never washed clothes on a cruise before but cos there are 4 of us and I am taking my car which is a little Kia then only take three cases. what does everyone take then as if I think about it I would need 14 daytime outfits and 14 night time outfits? And that would just be for me! Not including same for hubby, and kids. At least when we go away after this we are in a villa with own washing machine and I agree don’t like household chores on holiday but it was loads easier to do the washing whilst we played in pool that take loads of clothes. Plus I didn’t have very much washing to do when we can home either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adawn47 Posted February 6, 2020 #78 Share Posted February 6, 2020 We do have some things laundered for us if necessary but we always take enough undies to change twice a day. I find with mix and match you don't have to pack as many outfits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adawn47 Posted February 7, 2020 #79 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The biggest draw-back for me doing any washing on board is having to use driers. I don't use one at home because , after constant use, they ruin your clothes. I'll only have the odd item laundered on board if absolutely necessary.

I agree completely and prefer to catch up with all the washing when we get home. We always cruise from Southampton so take enough clothes to last although so far have not been away longer than 22 nights. We take a tube of travel wash and use that to hand wash any underwear if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted February 7, 2020 #81 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Yep, I don't do washing on board at all. As long as I have 19 pairs of knickers I'm fine 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemorton Posted February 8, 2020 #89 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) I believe there are 'special charter' cruises you can go on if you want to take that sort of stuff 😉 (And if you think Saga are expensive....)

P-L-B Posted February 9, 2020 #94 Share Posted February 9, 2020 My sister in law having returned from her 99 day world cruise said to us that they enjoyed it so much that they could have stayed on longer.

We love to relax properly on cruises, something you can never really do at home, so don't think we would have an issue. Roll on retirement...

Andy Yes definitely go for the worldie if you can, I’m sure you and Michelle will have a fantastic time. My sister in law, bother in law came back with lots of unforgettable experiences. I would be up for longer cruises but my Wife is happier with shorter but more often cruising. As regards retirement Andy, I can definitely recommend it. 🍻 😁 BTW, regarding getting older. Remember age is only a number, problem is the number gets bigger every year. 😁 Edited February 9, 2020 by P-L-B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree and can relate to everything you say. 😁 Fortunately I was able to take early retirement 10 years ago when in my late 50’s and haven’t looked back.

jeanlyon Posted February 9, 2020 #100 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I am 73 and still working and thoroughly enjoying it. Also Volunteer Coastwatch up at Prawle Point. I would get sick of the food on a Worldie. Even on a 19 nighter, it repeats. Roast this and roast that gets a bit boring after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
