what is the target market for Thomsons ships and TUI ships.

Do they tell us which items they will ruin?

 

nice one. :D

although, to be fair, most of the comments on here were good ones.

We have had many problems with the laundry shrinking items over the years & have given up on using it .

I've all but given up on their laundry service. To many articles of mine have been damaged over the years to trust them any longer.

I do my own smalls, and on occasion sent some shirts etc, which all have been perfect upon return.

sad to hear about your issues, what reaction did you get when you brought it to their attention ?

was it sorted ?

Have you thought of trying HAL they have a Grand Prix for scooters, there are so many of them !

Yes, and a still a lot of gals with blue rinse's :D

Its always nice to have somewhere to hang the "smalls"

It may be easier for folks to answer your question, if you mention what ship you will be on and what part of the world you will be in...:D

load of Hype ?

Have you considered contacting your mobile network provider and ask them, as there are so many different answers, it all depends on what network you have.

I hope all works out ok for you Guys.

Link to new brochure if I am allowed to post it:

Thank You Lucie.

its totally different experience to what you are familiar with on US cruise lines.

Think day cruises to the Bahamas from Miami, and make it seven days.

Its nice, its very charming,very quaint, and its very reasonable.

Some would describe it as being cheap.

Having being on the old Emerald, many times, many years ago, I think its a great holiday for what you pay. So go on and enjoy it.

Thanks for all the info folks. We can't afford 100£ per port per couple so will take taxis to beaches as advised and what we save use for glass house and beach house and nice cocktails at night.

tartanexile81 posted such a great reply.

that is incorrect- Friends of Dorothy is a LGBT meeting. Not AA.

Robinhill.

I never said Friends of Dorothy was AA.

my post was "There are several "Coded" meeting references in the compass".

You are forgiven for reading my post incorrectly. :D

bathrobes can be boiled washed and re used The slippers could not be boiled so you can take then home with you and treasure them..

It does sound so old fashioned, "Boiling clothes", but I am sure there is a modern term for it nowadays.

It was commonplace on Britannia at Christmas - what I objected to there was the people who left plates/glasses/bowls of unfinished food and drink in lifts and randomly on stairs, in public areas the lobby area outside the lifts etc.

Do you think it was the style or type of passengers on the Britannia at time of year and, Maybe lots of families/ children as a reason why this happened.

Its not the usual type of behavior of passengers on the Britannia surely ?

great news :D

Shorts and a polo shirt will get you in, no issues. Don't wear flip-flops.

flip flops on formal nights are a reflection on the individual wearing them.

A post earlier in the thread, from Lanzalady, mentioned that all she wanted on formal night was to look clean and presentable.

As i explained, it is suggested to shower twice a day in warm climate, as there often are B.O. issues if not

She more than likely does not realize it herself that you might look clean and presentable, but may have body parts smelling.

Nothing as bad as being seated with someone with body smells.

If P&O goes retro and goes back to the style and look they had way back .

that would be nice, a retro style cruise on modern ships.

Put my name down please !!

As long as I'm clean and well-presented, what does it have to do with other people? I cruise because I like being on the sea and visiting other places. If other people's idea of cruising is to spend all their time dressing up and commenting on how their fellow passengers are attired, then that's up to them.

Its always nice to enjoy a cruise.

Lanzlady is happy just to be clean and be well presented which is always nice.

In warm climates, its advisable to have a shower at least twice a day, especially when returning to the ship after a long tour. I find I am tired after a long tour. Nothing like a long refreshing shower to fell clean again.

I see where you are coming from Lanzlady.

But I also like dressing up. its nice to dress up and feel good.

Do as you would do in a Hotel.

Put a sign on the door.

there are very few dirty ships, but many dirty passengers. .

the amount of times I have seen people (male) not wash their hands are using the loo.

I read a post on this site a while ago, that it happens a lot with the Women's bathrooms also.

When I read about the tuppwerware I thought....."Now that's a good idea"

yes, its a great idea.

There are several "Coded" meeting references in the compass.

One, as mentioned, is "Friends of Bill (W)".

Another is "Friends of Dorothy".

don't want to rock the boat, so to speak, by upsetting the cruise etiquette whilst on board.

Its something we do almost on a daily basis.

I agree, not drying off with a wet, damp towel.

lets be honest, it does happen on the unexpected occasion, but when on vacation its nice to use crisp dry towels.

Because I am worth it.:D
