  1. We are booked on Arvia in April. Lots of ' casual ' dining options. That will do for us as we aren't too bothered about the MDR. It's only food and I doubt we will go hungry. Lots of OBC ,so Glass House, beach house and the others will do for us.
  2. Arctic is higher up than Baltic, but with less scum floating on it.
  3. We had slippers on our last Azura cruise. They didn't leave the wardrobe ( we did ). Cheap and nasty things. £1.99 on ebay.
  4. Interestingly, SS Chusan passengers would be old enough to qualify for a Saga cruise. It was scrapped In 1973.
  5. Gives folk another opportunity to raise their pet hates....again.
  6. How much did you pay on your last cruise on SS Chusan?.
  7. We were walking off the ship in Tenerife I said to DW " Is it me, or is that smell coming from our ship ?". She said its normally you. It seems to come from the front of the ship when in port.
  8. Always seems to be Long queues at immigration at both Gatwick and Heathrow. I don't mind that as it helps keep the riff-raff out.🤣
  9. When we get to our car, we have an hour drive home. We leave the cabin as late as we can, nice leisurely breakfast, go down to the baggage shed. Many cases are gone by then, so fairly easy to retrieve. Normally not navy people queuing to get their car keys. Why all this rush ?.
  10. That's why folk book PE, which TUI market as 38". Taking a booking from folk who will only fly PE for whatever reason and then saying, sorry folk 31" in economy is what you will get is not acceptable. To the extent of not making future long haul booking with P&O. However it is dressed up, it is a very poor showing.
  11. A TUI 787 is 34, so is it a race to the bottom. TUI PE is 38".
  12. Have a lovely break. It must be about 200 miles for us. At 20mph that's.......a long time.
  13. My friend in Nigeria doesn't charge anything for managing our investments .....and he's a Prince.
  14. Is that midweek, or do they pay you more to stay at weekends ?.🤣
  15. A few trips on the broads may tempt you again. Stay safe.
  16. TUI had a fair selection at that kind of price. Late September/Early October always seems to be priced keenly. Weather this year was great.
  17. Our last fly cruise was to the Canaries on Azura. About £2,500 in a balcony with £300 OBC. Our Menorca week was £1150. Both deluxe balconies. We had a Travel agent special from Malta on Azura for £1500 in a balcony, but they don't crop up too often. We have never had an inside, no window room in a hotel.
  18. We have taken 30+odd cruises on various lines. Have we enjoyed every aspect of every cruise ? Probably not. Anything of any consequence we remember......???...Oh ! Did I mention my toe ?.
  19. This is called a loop. Did he, didn't he ?. Who knows. Perhaps this thread is well past its sell by date.
  20. Balcony. That's all we book. With land based holidays we rarely book earlier than about 4 weeks before we go. Cruises a little earlier.
  21. We mix our holiday types around. We just got back from a week at an AI hotel in Menorca. Food was quite good, entertainment quite good and it was about half the price if a cruise. One drawback was that you went onto the balcony in the morning, the hotel was in the same location.
  22. A bit ironic really. Folk look forward to the opportunity to dine with the Officers, but it seems they are avoiding eating with the passengers.🤣
  23. I have about a dozen pairs of prescription reading glasses. What are the latest pair ?. I haven't got a clue as they all seem the same strength.
  24. Apology accepted. The OP seems to have accepted their error. Their post #52 says it all and I suggest they would prefer the subject dropped.
