The same happened to us, my neighbour asked for a recipe for chili con carne, it called for 1 garlic clove, she put the whole bulb in about 15 cloves! We were invited for dinner, when we entered the house boy did it smell of garlic!!

Cats! We have thirteen!

Remember it very well. Served as a Police officer there for 10yrs what a posting that was. We now live in sunny Cyprus however, we still have a holiday home in Frodsham about 10 from Chester. What a beautiful roman city. Those were the days, a real steak mouthwatering. The rows are amazing we are returning to the UK in 10 days,looking forward to visiting that lovely city again, if only for Primark!!

When I joined the Police force back in 1971 I was lucky enough to be posted to Chester where I served for over eight years. Its a beautiful Roman city a hot spot for tourists, I had my picture taken thousands of time as a "real British bobby". The Grosvoner hotel is lovely, been to a few weddings there, very smart. We now live in Cyprus and have done for the past 22 yrs however, we still have a place 10 miles from Chester (Frodsham) we visit the city every time go "back home"

I asked this question a while back, I was told port to port is cruise only, no air fare, no transfers, no hotel. Someone on here may know different?

Surely CC are allowing it? I am not opening CC until it goes away, it is very annoying indeed.

In the last couple of days every time I click on cruise critic an annoying advert springs across asking me do I want to enter a draw from a travel agent, is anyone else getting this please? I cannot block it it seems?

Last April we made a decision to install solar panels on the roof, yes, it may take about 4 yrs to recoup the cost however, we put the air con on at 07.00 hrs until bed time. Even the pool is warm, our electric bill is less than £4 per month.

We live in Cyprus, a balmy 42 degrees today, almost unbearable, August weather.

We had a sailing cancelled, Jeddah to Athens sailing 1st June. Silversea have just reimbursed our air fare which we booked through a third party as "out of pocket" expenses. I know they sometimes get a hard time on this board however, it was done promptly and without any problems, thank you Silversea, looking forward to sailing with again very soon.

We are booked on this cruise.

We have just been notified that our cruise Jeddah to Athens has been cancelled, sailing June 1st. We received a generic note from SS which had the wrong cruise details, nothing about refunding flights, visas, incidental costs, poor show, we knew this would be cancelled a long time ago.

Thanks everyone for your replies, much appreciated.

I received the same email with the offers this morning. Have I read it right, 1000 dollars OBC not "up to" 1000 dollars? Also, is port to port the same as cruise only please? The reason I ask is that we are only one hours flight from Athens which is a cruise I am looking at for 2025.

We boarded our ship in Vancouver last October it was a nightmare! There is no separate queues for SS, There was one other ship there (6000) it took three and a half hours to get to the passport control. Yes, your bags should be outside your suite by 11pm, they are taken away overnight, you collect them when you leave the ship. Have a great cruise.

Why would you want to wear either in a dining venue? Are you serious?

Great post. We love to dress up on board, my tux come out Mrs Fudge looks lovely in her best frock, we have become appalled at the way some folks dress for dinner, standards seem to have dropped across all cruise lines, not for the better im my opinion.

Its not AND its OR 20 percent off a future cruise. We had a cruise cancelled in February, I questioned this with our TA, we took the full refund option.

In addition to my last post, SS said they would refund "reasonable cost" of expenses incurred. I now note they have placed a limit on those costs incurred. To be fair SS refunded the air fairs we paid for independently and a pre booked hotel cost.

We had a cruise cancelled in February. We got the same mail however, when I read it I thought it was a refund AND 20 percent off a future cruise, this was not the case, it was OR, I think its just poorly worded.

Wouldn't you think SS would be informing clients about forthcoming cruises which may be cancelled? Our cruise on June 1st including down the Suez canal is bound to be cancelled, just let us know!

I have just had a mail from Silversea advertising voyage only fares. No flights, no transfers or excursions, for those who wish to make their own arrangements.

Dont have em if you dont enforce them!

Thank you so much for that information, this board is just great for this kind of advise.

Thats very thoughtful of you, are we allowed to share e mail addresses on here please?
