    Enjoy the car. We are also off to collect our car tomorrow, always get a buzz collecting a new car, especially with new plates.

    I'm certainly not going to pass judgement on whether the Captain should have docked or not. I have to say we have missed ports when there has been wind and weather conditions far less extreme. Did the weather deteriorate that much without prior warning ? An inquiry will establish facts known at the time, not what should have been done with benefit of hindsight.

    You would think so Andy, but often the opposite is safer. A huge ship the size of the Britannia, side on to the wind is like a huge sail and the forces are extreme. The old saying of riding out a storm being the best option is true. I experience it many times on a lot smaller ships in my time in the Royal Navy.

    Yes. The other poster just made up an answer. Attention seeker.

    Not true is it..
  7. bobstheboy
    Yes. Wants to argue about command of ship and posts info that I haven't seen elsewhere.

    Source ?
  9. bobstheboy
    Okay

    Not wanting an argument. When decisions are made to miss a port due to weather, it is often at the last minute. Captains decision, noone else can or will over rule him/her.

    The Captain has full responsibility where safety of the ship and passengers/crew are concerned, not Carnival.

    Many questions to be answered by the Captain me thinks. Easy to comment with hindsight but I've missed ports when the weather and winds appear okay but the Captain has announced that the weather was expected to worsen so it would be a sea day..

    That's my sister in a nutshell. 98, very independent, partially sighted, hard of hearing and apart from a cleaner for two hours a week, does everything. I live 170 miles away so rely on her son (useless) and neighbours.

    I have had a very good life and know my parents would have been proud of all my family so I have a lot to be thankful for. Just enjoy life while you can, works for me.

    It's lovely for those of you that have had your parents for many years. I lost my father when I was 11 and mother at 19.Never saw me marry, have children, their children or my career. That's life.

    I've just been on the NHS site and find nothing on current booking arrangements for covid or flu. What's the secret password ?

    You have your views I have mine.

    Not quite that old ! I can remember the blue shirts with detachable collars and huge great coats, very warm in winter.

    It would be a good sales ploy if P&O gave a price promise to customers who book on new season release, say within 45 or 60 days, and guarantee that if the price dropped for like for like cabins, a refund will be given. It would give early bookers confidence and almost certainly increase early sales.

    If you book a cruise onboard and have OBC, is the deposit deducted from it or is it billed separately ?

    Unfortunately I saw this many times during my police career and obstruction by people who should have known better. They soon changed their tune when I threatened to arrest them for attempting to pervert the course of justice.
