  1. Hi Neil, Thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate it. We are really RC now. We have done over 40 cruises on various cruise lines. We had to cancel a group of cruises we had booked because my husband got very ill and only now has he had the ok to go on one. But the specialist said do not go overseas. Hence P and O this time of year. Melbourne is cold in the winter and we so miss cruising but we will make the best of it and appreciate getting away. thanks again. eileen
  2. Neil, we are going on Pacific Adventure next month as I want a trip during Winter. It is more than 10 years since we were on P and O . I am not expecting much but hope the food is not too bad. I have booked a couple of dinners in the speciality restaurants, how was the ship?? thanks Eileen
  3. Thanks for your comments. We are going on a p and o in a month. Accept that food is not as good as other lines but sometimes I think it is my fault for ordering the wrong dish, But we will enjoy. Enjoy Europe. eileen
  4. I have used my frequent flyer points for most of my flights from Melbourne to Sydney. That helps. But we have started to fly the day before so yes, have to pay for a hotel overnight. I would like to fly up on the day of the cruise but with all the cancellations I don’t want to take the chance.
  5. We have finally booked another cruise. Due to ill health we have had to cancel numerous cruises but got the ok from specialist and doing a P and O cruise. Sydney to Cairns and back next month. Long time since we have done a P and O but looking forward to getting out of Melbourne as winter hits. Hope P and O is ok but think the meals cooked, shows and no cleaning means we can cope!!! eileen
  6. Thanks, I thought that might be the case, I have looked up their information but can’t see that you can cancel online?
  7. Hi i have to cancel a carnival cruise because of ill heath. I booked directly with carnival. Can I cancel it online. Eileen
  8. I have loved this conversation . I live out in the suburbs of Melbourne. Came here 50 years ago from Edinburgh, I never thought Edinburgh was that nice but everyone tells me it’s a wonderful place. Yes Melbourne is nice even the weather, Remember having to shovel the snow in the winter in Scotland. At least don’t have to do that in Melbourne. lovely discussion. Eileen
  9. Regarding travel insurance issue. I have the Christmas celebrity cruise to NZ booked. My bankwest cc now does not cover cancellation. I paid it with that credit card. My husband has found he has a very serious illness and is in hospital for 6 weeks. Had to cancelled. Just got a note from my TA. I am getting a 25% refund although it’s less than 30 days from the cruise. I am actually happy with that. On our Mediterranean cruises this year I took out extra insurance but didn’t bother with the Celebrity. My fault but in the situation in the world I accept it. That’s why I have now got a ANZ credit card which does now include cancellation and he does make the Brilliance cruise around OZ in February I will be able to claim. Just hope Husband has recovered as I so miss cruising! Anyway you live and learn. Eileen
  10. Sorry Chilli but I have to ask….did your shower..ha ha.
  11. Wow chilli…is that because you know certain RC people. Eileen
  12. Ha ha..,it is good to have a laugh at their expense. Mind you I do not cut grass and am no good at anything technical except I am better with computer stuff and finance. I guess we make a good twosome, especially after 57 years..,really that long..,I was a child bride…ha ha eileen
  13. Mentioning passports. Our old one was looking not too good and my husband had trouble with it through the system so I decided we should get new ones. We did get 10 year ones. Went to the Post Office and did he get a shock at the price. He has no idea as I look after all the finances! Eileen
  14. Yes retirement takes some adjusting to. I appreciate the washing of floors and vacuuming and I am now not allowed to fill the dishwasher. All of a sudden he takes time to do these things but he forgets I used to have to do all the things mostly by myself. You know how women are multi skilled. Remember the days when we first got guys serving in the supermarkets! really things have improved for us all. But still love cruising and getting all things done for us. Eileen
