True wowzz how true. However we can start our own post-covid non-cruise new traditions. Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well seen you have never roughed it with a chemical toilet it an old fashioned caravan before young man. Yes the toilet roll will be pointy. The end of the stick used for ramming the toilet paper (and indeed anything else which needs to be persuaded down the very narrow aperture) is very pointy the narrowness of the aperture being required to avoid splash back from chemical “loo blue” which leaves a very nasty stain on anything it touches. On a slightly higher tone I am an expert at caravan cooking so volunteer as head chef and yes there will be freedom dining, the freedom to take it or leave it.👩🏻🍳 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy I like hearing stories, but too often they end up just being a list of what cruises people have been on, how suite service is not what it was, and how the loyalty club lunches are of poor quality compared to 20 years ago ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adawn47 Posted April 4, 2020 #60 Share Posted April 4, 2020 If there were no more cruising we'd be snookered. Frank won't fly after a panic attack on the plane so it would be good old blighty. We love watching Antiques Road Trip and some of the little places you see are gorgeous. Names of places I've never even heard of. I could happily do that. If I really REALLY had to (sigh)😕 Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
