  1. I’m pleased to hear these workers are unionised. That way we can all be assured they will be working safely without cutting corners due to trying to save costs. They will benefit from fair wages, terms and conditions and won’t have to rely on tips like the poor people working onboard the ships. Good luck to them.
  2. I was simply agreeing with your sentiments,.. Thought you summed up perfectly succinctly within that phrase, thus my quotation. Had I have wanted to share my experiences, I would have done so, but thought it unnecessary given your summation. Cheers
  3. The food is “acceptable “… That’s about right.
  4. Absolutely yes, I’d guess it was perhaps the Irish. 👍🏼
  5. I’m from England. I’ve lived here all my life. I’ve never heard of”Guinness day” I can assure you it is not a semi official holiday here, and as such is not widely celebrated. Guiness really isn’t particularly popular in England. Some people drink it, but really not very many. This afternoon in my local pub, I do not recall anyone having a pint of it.Certainly non of my mates did. Lager is probably the usual drink of choice in England. Just thought you may like know Cheers.
  6. The Argentinian currency is in an awful state, and people there will accept any currency. The OP has referenced Euros. The Euro is a strong and stable currency.Countries within the Euro zone do not accept US dollars, or any other currency as payment.
  7. Thank you ggTexasGal,.. I couldn’t find that. Cheers.
  8. I just tried to register as a Veteran on the NCL website, but repeatedly get the message copied below. I cannot find anything within the FAQs so wondered if the veterans program is for US veterans only, or are British veterans also covered. Does anyone know please ?
  9. I’d say Do NOT miss Gibraltar. So much history, and great views from the top of the rock. Just keep a close hand on your belongings,… The Barbary apes will steal them. The kids will just love it.
  10. Awful news. Lots of news about it this morning here in the UK. We can only all pray for our friends in the US that have been affected by this terrible event.
  11. Does the local chippy in Florida accept pounds or do I need to take some US dollars ? Just asking for a friend. …….
  12. This is an interesting topic for me. Whilst I am relatively new to cruising holidays, having had the pleasure of a few now, I have not yet experienced being charged tax on drinks whilst in, or near a port. I am taking my first NCL cruise to Alaska from Seattle in August this year. I wonder if others that have sailed on an Alaskan itinerary ,could share their experiences with regards this matter please. Regards to all.
  13. We sailed from Southampton a year or so ago on a Celebrity cruise, but chose to stay a few days pre cruise in Portsmouth , as it’s such a great place to stay. I’d strongly suggest a visit to the historical naval dockyard.So many things of real historical importance to see, particularly Nelson’s old flagship HMS Victory which remains a commissioned British warship manned by HM sailors…Honestly it’s a great day out down there, and the old town of Pompey is a most interesting place with some great old pubs serving good food too. Enjoy x
  14. I’ve really enjoyed following your review. My wife and I are sailing on the Sun in August. It’s our first NCL cruise so we have found your photos and comments helpful. Have a safe journey home. 👍🏼
  15. 😂😂👍🏼👍🏼 Nice one… off to bed it’s gone midnight here,… I’m looking forward to catching up with your travels tomorrow. Cheers 🍺🍺
  16. As a born and bred Mancunian, They’re all the same to me mate,,,… although I hear those Evertonians are all Welsh anyway 😂
  17. Oh, how disappointing,.. 😂😂. I’m off to bed now then,.. Enjoy you’re evening, and I shall be checking back in tomorrow to continue to follow your adventures 👍🏼
  18. 😂😂😂. Thanks 👍🏼Youve given me a good laugh. I can’t keep it up any longer 😂😂
