No truer truism exists!

What are NCL doing now? I don’t know but I’m sure “It will be for our convenience”?

Which is particularly suited for a white dinner jacket (tuxedo) and dress shirt! Especially after a modest cocktail or three before dinner.

Never known a child day care centre sail off to another destination, but then it’s 45 years since our child attended one so what do I know?

Life is the Alamo writ large, no one gets out alive but let’s not die every day.

We are Borg, you will be assimilated.

Troopships for the coming war?

There are filters that trap viruses (hep-tactic?) and I believe the 787 aircraft has them, perhaps other later aircraft too. But how effective they are in large scale environments I have no idea.

However, SWMBO may have different ideas, plus her God given woman’s inalienable casting vote out of two. I have set myself a decision date/time 1200hrs 15 JUL 2020. Perhaps, as an aside, the following might be of interest. My travel insurers have contacted me and said that my annual world wide pol

So does a decent drinks package taken to extremes.

Now I can understand the company wanting to exclude sick passengers and have no problem with required (but meaningless) self declaration or remote temperature checks at checkin, but if an insurance company has granted cover then the cruise line is absolved from liability for medical costs. With regard to cross infection I could be checked by a ten man expert medical committee and declared as fi

On the EPIC TA 2018 Spring sailing we had two excellent lecturers who gave a series of talks in the Comedy Club. Both were absolute sell outs with people unable to get in and many standing. We have a sailing booked for TA in December 2020, I will be disappointed if we don’t have lecturers on board.
