What I take for a 7 night cruise is what I took for a 54 night cruise, plus an all weather light coat. Did have to fly to London to join cruise so that limited me. Medium suitcase, carryon and shoulder handbag. Cruise was Princess so free laundry but turnaround was often 3 to 4 days as so many elites.

Oops shouldn’t have spoken/written so soon. It has been raining steadily for the last 24 hours and still going. Grass is looking a little greener already. Lol

Or as the guide said in Hawaii, heavenly blessings.

Not very often, I have brown “grass”, what’s left after the lawn grub attack and my garden is looking very poor.

I’m in Australia. What’s rain?

Yes please, make me stay on onboard. Lol

Rarely go to MDR, Waterfront, we were in Angelo’s Italian themed restaurant on Encounter.

Last P&O cruise on Gatsby night a couple at a table near us dressed to “impress”. Baggy cargo pants, sleeveless singlet top and caps worn backwards.

Ovea in South Pacific. You could see ship’s anchor on bottom of ocean floor. Unfortunately it is no longer a port of call.

There is a happy medium. Two men in particular, I would not wear what they were wearing to McDonalds. Lol

On Caribbean Princess last year, baseball caps, sometimes worn backwards and tshirts and singlets were “ok” in dining room,

Use their website to check when elevator is operating, you can book a time. Has some odd hours sometimes and is often closed completely. I had a letter from my doctor stating difficulty in walking, but couldn’t use elevator as it was out of action in the two days I was there.

Use Plaka in your Google search. Busses sometimes drop off at bottom of Plaka near Hadrians Gate and sometimes at the side road of the museum of the Acropolis. From the dining area in the museum there is a great view of Acropolis and Parthenon. The hill is not too bad, just go slowly and have a rest half way.

A local told me, just walk straight towards your destination, other side of road and don’t worry about the traffic, they will go around you. Me, I always look for an old lady and walk right next to her. There’s a reason why she’s an old lady with that traffic. Lol

One time we used a travel agent they came up with very expensive airfares with a long layover. My daughter went online found cheaper flights, same airline, with only a 3 hour layover. Phoned ta and she changed them to our preferences. Told my daughter to give up nursing and take up being at ta. Lol
