gilmahcroft Posted April 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Do I detect that there is no such thing on FO cruises? What a pity; it seems such a good idea!! If you are traveling on Balmoral July 1st from Newcastle. maybe you would be interested in meeting up. Taxis are so much cheaper if there is a group of people joining forces!!! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SausPud Posted June 7, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Last Fred Olsen cruise I did, they had a meet up (on a sea day) for all the Ex Armed Forces. There was a logbook to register all those who attended. It was a great way to meet up with other service personnel. Made a great friend from the Army (I'm ex Navy) and we spent the evenings doing quiz nights and drinking with our wives every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
