We recently went on a short cruise with Fred which had a free drinks offer and sometimes they offer OBC. Fred wouldn't be our first choice because we prefer newer ships but we tend to choose based on the itinerary and Fred has some places that we haven't previously visited.We have Saga cruises booked for October and February but would consider Fred if the prices drop

I think it is the price and lack of balconies. There are a couple of Fred cruises we are interested in but the price is more than we want to pay. Recently Fred has been significantly reducing the price before sailings which means that people are put off booking early. Fred's price for a balcony is similar to sagas( also small ships) but with a lot more included in the price.I think if Fred brings back the 3 for 2 offer or includes drinks and tips, more people may book

My hubby was in the climbing club at Cardiff University so climbed a lot of Welsh mountains whilst there. He then met me ( I enjoy walking but nothing too strenuous) and the only thing he has climbed since is the climbing wall on Indepence of the seas!

I was a twin and if we were dressed alike it meant it wasn't a hand me down! I used to love visiting our older cousins and getting a bag of their clothes as they seemed so grown up and fashionable. I can remember envying their school uniform which was grey, maroon and blue. Our was all grey and very boring

I have to admit too to being useless when it comes to sewing/mending etc (and rarely iron - if it needs ironing I don't buy it!)We were given the opportunity to study German rather than Needlework at the age of 12 and I jumped at the chance to give it up. My late mother in law was a domestic science teacher and probably despaired of my lack of practical abilities

The hotels you describe sound wonderful though we actually prefer staying at a Premier Inn ( usually clean and a reasonable size room)to staying at an average hotel where rooms may differ. Isn't slumming it and Audley End an oxymoron!!

They are required to test. Apparently some people are asking their driver if he has tested and if not having a test available to give him before getting in the car

On our recent cruise we went on a Dolphin cruise which was wonderful as we saw lots of dolphins swimming right by the boat.Also for something different to do we once took a bus to the other side of the rock and had a short walk by the sea.

I have seen him post on another site so perhaps he is on holiday, planned or enforced?!

Thank you. Already going on holiday in September but hope I get any future discount emails!

Is that cruises in 2022 or 2023 on Aurora and Arcadia? Just wondering as I may be interested

Yes it is the Balkans on bolette. Even with the £250obc and a further 5% discount it is expensive but if they throw in the drinks package within the next 30 days we may book it

We received the same letter offering 5%because we had cruised earlier this year.We want to book the Balkan cruise next September but not sure whether to book it now or wait until nearer the time when the price drops but running the risk of it selling out

Is it the new cruise sailing on 28 February? If so ,we have booked it too. We sail on our first Saga cruise in October which I am looking forward to.Thank you for your review Best guessed Interesting to read

We are on enchanted Princess this Friday as well 🙂

I think one problem at the moment is that often people would sooner not test to see if they have covid as it might spoil their plans etc if they only mild symptoms particularly as you have to pay for tests.Sometimes people genuinely think that because it's usually just like a cold it doesn't matter if others catch it.Unfortunately it seems to be another product of the ,Me, culture

My understanding and from what others have said after phoning Princess is that the Friday counts as one of the 3 days so anytime Wednesday or Thursday would be ok. We sail from Southampton on a Friday soon and have booked our tests for Wednesday. It is probably best to phone Princess to get a definite answer

If you want to upgrade from an inside cabin to a balcony the price for the new cabin is based on a the price of a balcony at the time you booked which may be different to the current price of a balcony cabin

It was lovely to see a few seals but we had been warned we may not see many and we only saw 4 or 5 whereas I understand that sometimes there are hundreds!

Thank you. We will be coming on the bus to Holt.Yesterday we went on a boat trip from Blakeney to see the seals and today we plan to visit Sheringham Park. It really is a lovely part of the world.

We too put our car in the garage each night and my husband will only buy a car if it's going to fit.The trouble with that is that everytime we want to go out my husband has to open the garage and remove his 2 bikes before he can drive out and then has to return his bikes to the garage before setting off. It's not surprising that we travel most places by foot, bus or train!

We are on holiday in Sheringham at the moment and hope to visit Holt during our stay. Lovely part of the UK which we haven't previously explored

The cruise on 15 th July has been chartered by imagine cruising so it's only available to purchase through them . I presume the bargain price showing on Princess must have been a temporary error

I think you would need to phone Princess to ask this and like upgrades it would probably depend on the price of the new cabin at the time of booking the present cruise.
