Any mass market cruise line sailing round trip out of the UK. Other than to cause controversy or to talk down P&O I don’t get the point of the thread 🤷‍♀️

Will you do a write up after the event pleeeease? 😂 We’ve never cruised with Cunard but I’m very much taken with QA so far and I’m crossing my fingers for a 2028 world cruise on her as our retirement present.

I do like the look of QA and the bits and pieces I’ve seen of her interior are quite appealing. Even though we haven’t sailed with Cunard (yet!) she’s on our list for potential world cruises when we retire in 3 years time.

First choice of cabin on Arvia secured and paid for by 9am! 😀

We’ve pre-registered for Arvia in the Med as we haven’t been to Rome and Florence for a few years.

I don’t do fly cruises so not sure about itinerary but Azura is still based out of Valletta.

😂 I’ve actually got it on my shortlist!

There isn’t a Canada only one in 2026. Aurora is doing a 24 night cruise to Eastern Med including Cyprus and Egypt.

Sadly not true in my case as I have a severe allergy which means I can’t eat meat! To be honest I’m getting a bit tired of the veggie bashing that seems to be popping up with boring regularity, are veggies the new kids on board or dress code target of vilification?

I’ve absolutely loved following your adventures and it didn’t feel like you’d been away for so long! Welcome home Lord and Lady S.

@grapau27 condolences on your sad loss and hugs to your lovely Sarah ❤️❤️ I hope the person who laughed (and we can see who it is!) feels suitably ashamed of themselves!

I’m actually shocked that St Paul’s asked for £25 admission! The Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool is free entry although donations are appreciated. I would recommend a visit if you’re ever in Liverpool, the 5th largest cathedral in the world and of course we’ve also got Paddy’s Wigwam aka the ‘spare’ (as in the lyrics of In My Liverpool Home) at the other end of Hope Street.

It does a bit but I’d booked an independent tour to swim with the stingrays which was the bit I was disappointed about.

Well the Cayman Islands are a tax haven so I wouldn’t expect anything to be cheap. Really jealous that you made it to GC as it was one of the ports we missed on our 35 nighter and it was one I was really looking forward to.

We didn’t look at Toyota only BMW, Audi and Mercedes. All of which were a lovely drive and very comfortable.
