Mr Luxury

Ok uncomfortable furniture and meatballs it is then.😁

I have just returned from Madeira and they have been the best that I have ever had.

I had a really annoying butler on Silver Moon.He didn't have enough to do because of low passenger count. We wanted coffee delivered at 08.00 every morning but I guess 07.35 was near enough for him. Coffee order cancelled and we got it from the Arts cafe ourselves. I find that I can live well without a butler on a ship.

I liked Carson at Downton Abbey. A great professional.

Threads back to normal Keith. How very pre covid. We all see what you are saying but there are many variations on a theme and it's only human to compare and talk about these things on a public forum. Now if it were "Keith Critic" then .........

A very reasonable post which could reside on any cruise line board.

Of course a cruise line isn't really a cruise line until it sails. We await the outcome and decide accordingly.

Yes indeed it is. A lovely guy and he tells me that Regent is an excellent product. I'm going to give it a try

I always have a rule when choosing a suite on any ship. Always have a suite above you and one below you. I have made a mistake only once. Never choose a suite below an open deck.

Loose lips sink ships.

Vegas?

Clever those Chinese. They hook you in with the duck and then everything else in life you buy is from China 😀

Same outfit but without deodorant.

I came aboard in Madeira for a tour of the Splendor. I was very impressed with the quality of the ship and saw a selection of suite categories. The Concierge class being particularly interesting. It was also lovely to see George the Maitre d' who I know from his days with Silversea. I generally sail with Seabourn but am looking for an alternative to break the year up a bit and Explora Journeys will also be on the radar. Of course you cannot tell if a line is for you unless you take a trip which I am looking at for next year. Happy Easter to all.

And if they add more advisors Natalya will end up as assistant Maitre d'

And this year you're home with the chocolate bunnies.

Yes,the crew wake up a bit and run around a bit more.

It's Herod they need to worry about.

That's when you know that you're liquid

Gin Mare,was the one in SALT Bar

Tanqueray Ten is my choice and included on most luxury lines. Beefeater 24 is also available in the SALT Bar

I know this might sound revolutionary but have you tried the services of an excellent travel agent. You can't beat it. Who waits on an expensive phone line to deal with a cruise line these days.😀

Ok,that's enough smoke already.

Can you bring it back please as they are still one missing.

Yes I have seen it used on all of the ships many times but it has to be a calm day when anchored and safe enough to get some of the toys out. The slightest swell and it does not happen.
