Rare Sarah1974 Posted August 25, 2023 #49251 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I know I'm an infrequent poster on here but I do like to read everyone's daily posts. I'm off on Arcadia on Tuesday - slightly apprehensive after hearing about the ship - but going with a positive vibe. It's my first cruise since 2019, that was on Britannia, and will be my third P&O cruise, having started on Oriana. We will sail to Norway, Iceland, Edinburgh and Newcastle - an interesting mix. I won't have the internet package but hope to catch up with posts on this page when I can 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted August 25, 2023 #49254 Share Posted August 25, 2023 So much for worrying about passports taking a long time to renew. OH sent his application off on Wednesday last week and had a text this morning from the passport office saying that it had been sent out and giving him a tracking number. He has just had an email from Royal Mail saying that they have it and expect to deliver it tomorrow. He hasn't needed to track it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted August 25, 2023 #49260 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Just had an email from a well know National Garden Centre chain giving me priority booking for Breakfast with Santa for my children or dog, don’t think I will be taking it up as my children are 41, 37 and 33 and we don’t have a dog. Christmas gets earlier every year. 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SarahHben Posted August 25, 2023 #49262 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) After my husband testing positive on Wednesday he’s been quite unwell and this morning my youngest daughter was positive too 🥴 Fortunately we have a three storey house so I’m sleeping on the sofa and they have the run of the top floor with their drinks and meals delivered to the landing 🥴 it’s given me a chance to start looking at our cruise photos. Here’s 2 of our formal ones. The photography team really overdo the photoshop, they’ve ironed out our wrinkles 😂 I suppose that they have so many to do they probably just use a pre-set software programme. On the first formal night I spotted a lady who had the same ivory & black dress as me, glad I wore mine on the 2nd formal night 😂 Edited August 25, 2023 by SarahHben 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut006 Posted August 26, 2023 #49269 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Morning everyone, hope you are all ok today. I am not looking forward to today, well I am but I’m not. Driving down to Southampton from Halifax ready to join Anthem tomorrow. Because we are taking four grandchildren plus my mobility scooter and luggage we need two cars so a long drive ahead. We are staying at Elizabeth House Hotel where I have never stayed before leaving the cars at ABP parking. Have a nice day everyone Michelle 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas gets earlier every year. We're enjoying every moment that we can now that we're both over a certain Biblical age and so we would have been attempted to accept the offer, turn up in Santa hats and explain that Mum and Dad were to busy Christmas Shopping. 🎅🤶 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the main reason for my post today is to say you look totally gorgeous in the photos! Be well. Jane xx 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
