Thank you, yes came home late Wednesday. Normally he has nursery Thursday and Friday but we baby sat yesterday at his house. He was full of beans, though still no appetite. Today he went back to nursery

As someone who worked for large international airlines for over 40 years and had to deal with denied boarding at the sharp end, this is not true at least not for large international airlines. Anyone on a free mileage ticket is a valued frequent flyer. Why would they upset their most valued customers. Nonrevs are staff, and even they get looked after if they are confirmed and away from their base station. We would offer a sweet deal to pax who would still make their onward connections if they travelled on the next flight. We always got volunteers

He's happily playing in the children's ward playroom. Still breathing heavily and obviously still full of cold but they're hoping the Dr's say he can go home tonight, depends how the day goes. 🤞

Me too

Yesterday was our weekly babysitting day with our 2yr 8mth grandson. He has a cold and cough but initially looked pretty much OK as just had his baby medicine and inhaler. But we decided to miss out on our normal music class and play ground visit due to the cold. But we did feed the ducks, probably a mistake as he was running around for a few minutes in the cold air. Things went downhill as the day progressed and it ended up in A@E and overnight stay in hospital as his wheezing had started again and the Dr's need to monitor his oxygen when he is sleeping.

Oh my, it really does look like a couple of office blocks on a platform , not like a ship at all

In my opinion that's rubbish and a huge generalisation. My next guarantee cruise I've bought ship tours for each port and specialised dinner reservations already. Always prepay gratuities and tip on top. I guess I just assumed that guarantee meant guarantee, not maybe you'll get a cabin, maybe you won't .

Jimbo, we're going to enjoy a holiday in Singapore for a few days first. Will be annoyed, but it's not the be end and end all if the worst happens. We'll still have a good time enjoying a fascinating city. Maybe spend the cruise time exploring Thailand or Malaysia instead

Mmmm, when is a Guarentee not a Guarentee ..... We've got a cruise ex Singapore in a few months with a guarentee. Won't be too happy if we fly half way round the world to get bumped at the port

It's 16 nights, but almost full. The price was considerably less when the mini segments were first released

Agree BCN to SOU on Serenade has very little left, only guarantees for inside and OV and 12 balconies left. At least that's all they are showing on their website.

Have you ever taken P@Os Barbados winter cruises ? Several friends have taken Saga cruises which they all rave about. They are very expensive but everything seems to be included, including chauffeur transfers from home to port

Thank you, I may have to sign up. Is it a closed group or would I just 'friend' him 🤔

Welcome home, P&O? Did you fly to the Canaries first or cruise from SOU ?

16 nights, so £337 pppn, standard balcony. BCN to SOU segment, there's some nice ports not normally available in their standard med cruise. There's only a handful of balconies left now, hence the high cost. We were on her for 12 nights last autumn so we know what we're in for. On Med cruises it's all about the ports. Think there's only three sea days. It was a LOT cheaper when we booked

When the mini segments first came out, most just had inside and OV, don't know about the quarter segments or full world cruise. Ours had nothing above OV , but now they are selling balconies on the minis though not many left and no suites

The mini segments have increased in cost since they were first released. A balcony cabin on my segment is over £10,800 now (for two without gratuities).

Similar down here in the South, a little warmer today, but forecast to get around 6c/1c day/night next week with ❄️ in a few days. Gary really feels the cold due to his meds and its a constant battle with him turning up the heating and me turning it down. A couple of days ago we had a day trip to Bournemouth for a walk on the beach and lunch in our fav doggy friendly cafe You can just see the Isle of Wight which you pass sailing from Southampton heres a close up molly enjoying the beach as the sun begins to go down

Same as the old style. I was surprised when I received it how small they are, roughly 4"x3" .

So sorry to hear Greg about all Linda's and yours medical issues. Hope the Dr's can come up with a plan to get you both fighting fit soon 💪

Thank you Bonnie. I did marinated salmon yesterday with potato chunks and veg. It was fine, though the potatoes weren't quite as good as in the oven. The sugar snap peas weren't quite cooked. May need to up the cooking temperature. Learning curve I guess Trying roast chicken and roast potatoes and veg tonight

We received the old style on Serenade in September

Very Happy Thanksgiving for yesterday to everyone on Dani's thread. I hope you all had a lovely day whatever you did. I think it's a lovely idea to have a day to be thankful for all our blessings. Hope everyone enjoys their leftovers today 😋

Ive just bought an air fryer I have no idea how to use it I'm so out of my comfort zone with it. Anyone use it for stew/casserole/pies with mash? Or is it just for pices of meat like Chops, steak, chicken etc

I did years ago with a chicken, it was ok, never done again , not sure why
