purplesea Posted August 20, 2023 #253 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Glad to hear you had a safe journey home, and glad that you had a good time. Thank you for an informative and interesting read of your cruise, along with some lovely photos. We were on Arvia in May and due on her again next March, although I enjoyed the ship I did not enjoy the hassle of trying to get an evening meal!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ironed a shirt first night, rest of the time just sprayed them & hung them up to dry. Best regards Damian 9th Dan, Washing (working towards 10th Dan) Just purchased one of these for our up coming cruise on Arvia on your recommendation. £2.49 from Home Bargains..........bargain. 😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be swayed by a fish finger butty. Not one of those posh ones with mayonnaise and rocket, which a 'gastro pub' charges a tenner for. It has to be buttered 'plastic' white bread, with a bit of tomato ketchup. My 'go to' meal after a holiday is usually chips and dippy eggs.😋 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother had made the lemon curd and given him some telling him it needed to be used within a few days, so he had been using it and just put it in his girlfriends sandwiches without thinking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
