P&O Cruisers - What are things like where YOU are?

Thanks for everyone mentioning Adam Lambert and The Show Must Go On.   I've just thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

Re the MRI I had in London 10days or so ago.  There are two surgeons involved one for pain management and back and one vascular and both were saying the other must sort things first. 🙃 Anyway not much can be done for the back, so I'm having leg stents on 25th May.  It's not a cureall but hopefully will make me more comfortable.

 

Just back from a short break.  We went to some nice restaurants, but most were quite chilly.  People were keeping their jackets on.  Can't blame them really, they are having to deal with a crisis in supplies, but not so nice for the customer.  Anyone else noticed this?

Graham - that meal looks like a delicious change from your usual fare.  Where  were you eating?

Left many a cruise looking like Michelin man

I actually wore one of the Bibendum (Michelin man) costumes once for 2 hours when we had a family fun day, I definitely wouldn't do it again, far too warm.  It's quite a strange experience, children have reactions ranging from running up and poking the costume to screaming.

I would like a list of Graham and Pauline's places to eat they always look really nice.

Someone had a groom this week, someone didn’t like being clean, someone rolled in something unmentionable, someone had to have a bath and someone else had had to scrub the bath clean and now needs alcohol!!

Someone in our house has every sympathy having also been for his first groom since January (as they were fully booked for months)!

But he looks like he’s been a good boy (and very handsome too) and has stayed clean - unlike someone else!

I suspect he has snuck off on another cruise!🛳️

[lincslady]

I thought that - but did think it did not like like cruise ship plating etc. We will find out in due course.

Not until he is back though.

[lincslady]

Which is sensible - he has posted in the past pictures of his house, and an indication of where he lives.  A gift to would be burglars if he said where he is at any time.  I totally understand the reasoning.

Dinner tonight.

We're already counting down to our August cruise especially as it will be our first time back in the Mediterranean since 2018. This prompted us to make a classic P&O breakfast this morning. Happy Sunday all.

It's two weeks today that we board Arvia, and still  waiting to hear from the oncology department. I've now got the added stress of tying to get up to Southampton due to the train strikes!🙄

Just sat down with a coffee and there's a knock on the door, which made me jump. It was my Tesco delivery, no subsitutions, plus he was early by nearly an hour. 😃

Have a good Sunday everyone.

If its a cruise, it isn't P&O. Prawns are not that big in MDR.

I'm very impressed, especially if you went to the trouble of making a hollandaise sauce from scratch 😇

I sincerely hope you get some reassurance very soon and are able to enjoy your cruise stress-free.

Classic.  Here's mine from Azura. Your bacon is nicer.🤣

My guess is Chef's table on Royal Caribbean!

We went to Wakefield this morning as it is the custom car and bike show, what a fantastic turn out of cars and bikes plus the city centre was packed with people enjoying a pleasantly warm if cloudy Sunday morning, bit like the old days BC. Mrs YP did point out that a lot of the cars were older than me and in better nick, I think she was referring to my rusty colour from our last cruise.
