Dining is another important aspect and, maybe not everybodies choice, but I really like Club Dining, sharing a table with a group of people you have never met before and ending up, in most cases, as the best of friends. I would have booked for Iona but for the fact it does not offer Cliub Dining. Presumably in the same cabin P&O Sue? haha yes in the same cabin 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adawn47 Posted March 28, 2020 #43 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I have to admit that now cruising is suspended I'm at a bit of a loss. We look forward to all the planning and researching ports to be visited. Our holiday begins the moment we lock the Front door. I begin to feel the excitement build when I see the Southampton signs. I love the whole experience of being at sea. No matter what the weather throws at us.

I called out to my DW from the balcony ( she was just getting out of the shower ), come quick, there are hundreds of dolphins along side the ship. I can't, she replied, I'm not dresses.

Caravancruisers Posted March 29, 2020 #46 Share Posted March 29, 2020 1. First sighting of 'our' cruise ship....always have a squeal. 2. Hearing hum of the engines 3. Buffet...endlessly 4. Sauntering the decks ...aimlessly 5. Dressing up.... Cancelled this years, unsure when we can book again, due to work dates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than a.minute after he went in a whale appeared fortunately he gave me the video recorder otherwise he never would have believed me. 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 reminded me of our Alaskan cruise, spent all afternoon on deck looking for sea otters, we were frozen and went to the cabin to get warm, looked out of the window and two went past .....perfect view 😍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is November and there are 3 Italian ports and 3 Spanish. We love being at sea though and the ports are an added bonus. I know that's not typical cruising but we could quite happily sail around in circles for 2 weeks and be happy. Providing the evening entertainment was good of course.

I agree, and in fact I can see the cruise industry starting cautiously, whenever the time comes, with cruises to nowhere, which would be the safest way to begin.
