Removal of Auto tips on P&O ?

[AZbeachboy]

I work up to find out that the tipping thread on Carnval is POOF. Like the one I started it just disapeared.

 

Blessings. Think I will start one on Float a way lounge. Then I can set back and relax.

I work with a guy called Stiffy (his last name is Barr). He also has an Auntie Gai :D

 

 

 

And an Uncle Mars and Auntie Lounge, and little cousin Call. His brother, Excali, was a fencer. His wife was Wonda - she was dyslexic, sdaly. She was Arabian by descent, brought over by her mum, Zanzi, and her lawyer father, Calledtothe. He left her, unfortunately, and married a ceiling light manufacturer by the name of Candlea, who's sister, Pearlhar, came from Hawaii.

 

:o

How very kind. I've only tried to do 2 cruises. The second was in May on the Sea Princess - it never left the bloody harbour! The first was in the sister ship of the one that sunk near Santorini, and was notable for many things, chiefly from my perspective the fact that I broke up with my then g/f during the cruise! I wrote an ode for Princess CC-ers about it, see below, it's a heartbreaker folks. Now booked on a wee cruise in October round some crappy ports about 5 yards from Britain just to use up the comp from the Sea Princess fiasco. If by some miracle nothing goes tragically wrong we might graduate to being proper cruisers.

 

 

Ye tragedie of ye Med

I haven't sailed the seven seas

I've only sailed the Med

Twas in God’s year of 2005

With the girl I thought I'd wed

She came from the Kingdom of Fife, so near,

She was as bonny as the Clyde;

She shone, she blazed with love so dear

And had great boobs besides.

We set sail upon a British ship

Quite proper, full of Brits

No burnt bacon, nothing quite so hip

And no sign at all of grits.

Our love grew tall and walked the shore

Of life spent intertwined

She oozed affection from every pore

But the cleaners didn't mind.

We explored the hills of ancient Greece

We climbed blasted Santorini

We saw where Jason saw his Fleece

We got pissed on Dry Martini.

We walked by holy Mary’s grave

We strolled the ramparts of Rhodes

We made gentle love by dim moonlight

In sacred olive groves.

And on one such night by the ship’s pale light

We returned to our cabin fair

And then gathered the storms of noise and might

And all ended, suddenly, there. (OOOOOOOH! AAAAAH! Ready – faster now….)

The rancour came from deep within

We chewed the cud of jealous sin

And anger cast it’s thund’rous cloud

And bitter were the words so loud

And mighty were the objects thrown

And suddenly we had to own – (SLOWER)

That a couple no more were we at all

The bonds were rent asunder

No more pain could I befall

Were the very ship to go under.

We stared blank stares of misery

We shed the tears of pain.

We sought a way, we fought to be

Together, but in vain.

For days to come we walked away

Apart, but joined in sorrow

We saw the dismay of this today

Darken every tomorrow.

The cruise at last came to a halt

We dis-embarked and fled

Each to analyse every fault

Each to an empty bed.

The days, the weeks, the months went by

The wails gave way to the occasional sigh

The pain began at last to wain

And eventually life was almost the same.

But on dark nights when the wind is keen

I think upon what might have been

And whether that so innocent dream

Was all that memory doth deem.

So heed me cruiser, heed me well

Hold fast to your love in the Sea’s sea swell.

Keep your bonds and faith alive

Lest you suffer my fate, in the Med, in '05…………………

I remember reading your review on that one. Was incredibly thorough and precise.

 

Perhaps you should join us on a cruise on one of our little ships one day, it would be a crack up cruise :D

Your breaking my heart!!!! Is the comp Cruise around the British Isles??

[happyscot]

It's called the "Iberian Interlude" which to me sounds like some period between Ice Ages a long time ago. Brest, Lisbon, can't remember the other places, hopefully the captain can. Just a week, only a few hundred quid after comp, plus AWS of course. So, just a few hundred quid then. PS you Aussies/NZ would have loved the Sea Princess - two days, free bar, and about 2000 whining poms .............

 

(Actually to be fair, they didn't much).

 

DW wouldn't stop crying, even after I threw free fresh fruit at her (or was it four?). Well, she was watering down the already watered-down free grog. Apparently, "house whisky" is actually made out of houses - who'd have thought? All that and Syd Little too..................

 

Right, off to work. Please don't behave yourselves tonight.

 

Incidentally, this cruise was put on during a week the ship was to be tied up for whatever they get tied up for (with DW it's usually pleasure). Cos they got the whatever it is usually tied up for done when it was tied up because it was broken. (Stay with me here). So I'm going to be giving the comp straight back to Princess bar and casino employees. You've got to hand it to them haven't you............quite literally in this case.
