All present posters exepted..I have never sailed RCI out of UK but does the ship get many chavs all wearing football shirts ? I'm a loyal football fan (Newcastle for my sins)but this would be my worst nightmare.I could go on a cheap all inclusive holiday to Majorca and see that.I'm not saying that all UK cruisers are like this but I have seen some who just end up getting drunk and singing football songs.Hope your OH and son get to see the game,good luck,enjoy your cruise.

From a Yank perspective: We have done a Med cruise and a TA during football season. The TA last April was during a fairly crucial time with United closing in on the league title and the Champion's League and FA Cup approaching their respective conclusions. On both of those cruises, I saw few footbal shirts, but not many. And those I have seen have been well behaved. The closest I came to seeing any untoward conduct was on the Royal Promenade of Independence last April when a young man said something unkind to me because he thought I was looking at him too closely. Hey, I was just trying to read the badge on his shirt to see who he was supporting, and it was a small badge and I didn't have my glasses on. I still don't know if it was a football related.

I've seen more on the ship when cruising the Med, but not too many in the Caribbean, Mexico,Alaska etc.

I have over 30 shirts, club and national. I wear them every day, in port or on the ship. They are a great ice breaker. In Mexico and South America people love to talk football. There's nothing better than walking down La Rambla wearing a Real shirt.:eek:

Never seen anyone in a soccer shirt drunk and singing on a ship.

By the way, the Newcastle/West Brom game is on our TV tomorrow, sorry peck the Coventry/Ipswich game isn't showing.

What about me?

Have some sympathy.

I am a Leyton Orient fan.

No glory hunting for me!!

 

 

I don't feel any sympathy for you. You need to feel sorry for me.

Go Luton!!!

You are all wrong. The team to watch out for this season is come on you Spurs:)

Our new manager is now settled. Only one thing that could stop us is the lack of fitness of our defenders.

My OH is from Manchester and is a red, shes a bit sad at present something to do with Chelsea yesterday.

Just watch out for Harry and the boys from Tottenham.;)

 

We are on IOS in October(10th) so hopefully will see a few games, anyone on this cruise who fancies a beer while watching a match let me know.

 

Garyorient Ive got every sympathy for you my dad was a die hard O's fan, who always spoke about the time we were in the old 1st Division.:)
