Wanting to fly home 😜

My experience on Sky Princess so far has been horrific. No Malbec and no dessert wine. How can they expect civilised people to live without basic necessities?

 

If I asked at Guest Services, do you think that they would agree to repatriate me from this hellhole? 😜

Leaving  a cruise because they do not have a certain type of wine? Not something we would do.

Only about half of all Americans get satire...the rest get it, but will still argue.

Admit that I had to google Malbec. I guess I am not "civilized"

Always carry essentials with you!

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if they’re “taking the piss”

But you do realize Princess will want you charge you a penalty of 2X your basic cruise fare in order to for their entire elite Medallion app team to reprogram your sailing info?

 

Like the song Hotel California says, "you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave..."

If you can get back to the UK by the weekend, Lidl have a very palatable Argentian Malbec on offer at £4.49 a bottle !

If there is an essential that I must have, whether on a cruise, or back when I was working, I bring it myself.  And yes, I do get your sense of humor!

😱 sacrilege 🤣.

I survived two weeks without Diet Dr Pepper, you can survive this. 

[ghgeckos]

Oh no, not the Malbec! You’ll have to drink some of the fabulous Pinot. 😁

They would have you meet with Fortuna Luck first to cheer you to your senses.

I need to go to Lidl today.  We love Malbec.  I have never seen one that inexpensive so am a bit worried.

The offer does not start until Friday.

Not sure why you are worried  - the wine is normally for sale at  £5.99 and is pretty good for that price,  let alone £4.49.

If you can't wait until Friday, Tesco have their 25% discount offer running for the next week !

That is a serious issue! I pray for your sake that they at least have port.
