Roger88 Posted July 24, 2020 #252 Share Posted July 24, 2020 The very first thing I do is scan the internet for good and hot deals. Then I pick a few and start reading reviews about the ship, excursions, the company and etc. Then I find out about the most optimal of way of purchasing the cruise and make sure I am available at the time to take it. Usually it takes about 3-4 days before I can decide whether I am taking it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advice about making sure I am available before booking the cruise is something I would never have thought of!

Rare P&O SUE Posted July 24, 2020 #256 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I can’t wait to see some different scenery but like most of my friends it’s the Uk I’ll be travelling to, not overseas at least for a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's terrible when you look at the calendar and realise you've booked two holidays for the same week though. Easily done 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing is not over. Rather shows a good reason not to go abroad any time soon. Latest numbers from Spain - i.e. yesterday. Total of 971 new cases. Of those, 415 in Aragon, 182 in Catalonia.

Guest ccpm Posted July 29, 2020 #262 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Sorry I have not posted since. Just dealing with another elderly aunt who has passed away owing to Covid in her care home. As her children all live abroad I have had to deal with stuff. I'm back on track now and realise I probably was a bit too upset when fragile. Thank you for the support I am off to Warners this weekend and it will be good to get away but it won't be a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermotsgirl Posted July 29, 2020 #263 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I’m sorry to hear about your your aunt. I went to Warners the week before lockdown, and had a lovely time. Even then, they were very geared up on the hygiene front. It you have time, I’ll be very interested to hear about your break, as I would like to go back to another hotel at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you back, and sorry about your aunt. It must have been a very daunting, upsetting and difficult experience for you, much appreciated though by her children I’m sure. I’ve heard a lot of positives about Warner. The only one I know is the Grand Atlantic in Weston Super Mare, but that’s from way, way back when we used to stay there when it was a Trusthouse Forte hotel. Have a great time.

I am so sorry to hear about your aunt, life is so difficult at the moment. I am glad you are feeling a bit better. You will enjoy Warners even though it isn't a cruise. I went for 4 days to Warners Bodelwyddan Castle last year with a group of friends (No husbands allowed). It was my first visit to Warners but it won't be the last.
