I’m having the roast lamb, which I know you’d hate 😂 Just got off Ventura earlier today! Same menu as last Saturday and the food was really good for the MDR! Enjoy 😉 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winifred 22 Posted October 28, 2023 #78 Share Posted October 28, 2023 You can get sea sickness tablets from med centre for a small charge without having to pay for a consultation if you can’t get any from reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindyloo22 Posted October 28, 2023 #79 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Or you could get the injection for sea sickness if it’s really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t hold a signal for longer than 10 seconds and we are still in Southampton water 😂 In all seriousness, they really do need to pull their finger out and upgrade to the excellent TVs on Iona and Britannia (and no doubt Arvia). Whilst the reception is still patchy at least you can put an on demand programme on! Yes, that size of tv is fine in a standard inside or outside cabin (I always have one of those two) but in the larger, deluxe cabins is ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Interestedcruisefan Posted October 29, 2023 #82 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Sounds like a really positive start to the holiday selbourne (apart from the waves) Glad it's started well (I'm still getting my head round mushroom panacotta) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckett Posted October 29, 2023 #83 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Here I am with my coffee looking forward to your Live From @Selbourne You will be my 'go to' every morning now until your return. Thank you. Your room looks very spacious and comfortable but shame about the tv(s). I hope the BoB isn't too troublesome for you both. Definitely get those motion sickness tablets before they run out. Enjoy and best wishes to you both. Jane xx 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted October 29, 2023 #100 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Have a great cruise, Selbourne, I’m looking forward to reading along. Hope you’re not getting too seasick. Re the panacotta debate - I hate milky things so wouldn’t even consider trying it 😝 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
