Hi Hannah Cathy, and Hayley,

Welcome back Hannah glad you enjoyed the cruise except the flu part !

3lbs-4lbs is not a bad gain you will get that off in no time.

I gained 17 lb from end of October to the beginning of January and I do to have an excuse just eat a lot, did I enjoy it no in the end got fed up if food!

Lost 5lb last week though .Only 19 weeks to cruise so at 2lb a week that's 2st 10lb goal. Countdown begins.

Have a good week

Nic :)

Hi Cath hope you have had a lovely Christmas and of course a Happy New Year.This review is fantastic.

We are cruising on the Splendour Out of Venice in May we should get to the ship by 12pm at all aboard will be 4pm.Do you think this gives us time to go to St Marks Square and back this is our first cruise so a bit nervous about making it back to the ship.

Hello,

I hope everyone had a good Christmas .I never got back into gear after my trip to Krawcow at he end of Oct. I will rejoin next Saturday and I have five months to the end of May to my cruise so no excuses any more .

I have come to the realisation that eating rubbish upsets my system and makes me feel sluggish so why do I do it to my self ?

Happy New year

Nic

Hi hope you had a lovely Christmas, I joined the review at the beginning and look forward to every instalment.Thank you for not giving up even if life gets in the way:)

Hi Hannah and Cathy ,

I am back from my hols and my 40th celebrations and put on 6lbs.On the plus side I enjoyed myself.Kracow is fantastic and really inexpensive when you get there.

The plan us to stay in track for the next 5 weeks and hopefully loose 10lb then after Xmas the gloves are off and the fight is on to loose as much as I can for our cruise at the end of May.

Onwards and upwards we can do it !

Nic:):)

Hi Hannah and Cathy,

I have had a good couple of weeks and managed to reach my 2 stone goal.Off on hols on Saturday but plan to be good until then.

Let's all keep,going until Christmas who can loose a stone before Christmas day?

Have a good week.

Take care

I love hearing about the ports but I mainly would pick a cruise on itinerary not ship.It may be different for those long term cruisers who have been there done that.

Fantastic review I am a cruise newbie first cruise next year Greece and Turkey.Love the photos and thanks for taking time writing the review.

Hi I choose the PV cabin for space as I did not feel we would get our monies worth from a balcony as this cruise is very port intensive .

Hi Hannah and Cathy,

Holidays are meant for a little indulgence enjoy any thing can be undone afterwards.After thinking I was being oh so good and polishing my halo I only lost 1.5lb in two weeks.

This week back to basics writing things down I think I just got a bit complacent .I only have two more weigh days before my mini break and want to hit my 2 stone award.

Also was rear ended to day so a bit sore but have managed to not comfort eat so far :D

I find drinking lots if water helps me x

Fantastic review great pictures :)

Thank you :)

I have booked the above for the Greek Isles and Turkey cruise next May.Excited as first ever cruise and CC has been a great source of information.Has anyone stayed in this category of room on Splendour ? What did you think and are there any photos of a PVC room ?

Thanks

Nicola

Well done Hannah a loss a week is good, especially when you get to the next stone bracket , hoping this is me on Saturday.

Keep in track this week, have a good week

Nicola:)

Hi Hannah and Cathy I hope you are both well and have had a fab week:).I did not get to my weigh in as I was away working in Devon, managed to stay away from pasties and fish and chips.

Have a good week

Nicola :D

Hi Steff, really enjoying your review. I would be the one eating the bratwurst or curry wurst given the option. I have lived in Germany for a few years on and off my dad was in the army and I was born in Hanover.I love Germany and miss the food although you can get much of it in the Uk now.On on trip to Berlin last year for the Christmas markets I must have gained at least 4 kg.Also love ice cream with hot cherries or raspberries.I last lived in Germany as an adult without my family in Gutersloh not the most prettiest of German towns !

Hi hubs and Molly Mariner , I had my weigh in today and lost 2lb so trying to stay focused.We can all do it ,it is not easy but Xmas is a huge motivator.off to pick some blackberries a it of body magic.Going to try and make jam from them not that I will be eating any Honest !

Have a good week

Fantastic , really looking forward to reading your review after reading the last two.

Hi Molly Mariner I lost 2.5lb so just need a lb off and I am back to my pre summer weight.I have another 4 weeks until I go to Kracow so I am very dertermind to loose as much as I can before then.Easier said than done! I hope everyone is having a good week.

Hello excited to read your blog, I am new to cruising first cruise on SplendourOTS next year.I have booked through a well known Internet TA and received free flights to Venice.Is it still worth ringing my TA for price drops?

Great review, I was a little late finding it ! You have a great writing style made me laugh out loud a few times. We go on our first cruise next May in the much smaller Splendour OTS and will take your great attitude towards the crew with us.

Hi Molly Mariner well done for trying hard for the rest of the week.I try and visualise a vase with 7 red roses in if one died would you throw the rest away ? Weigh in day for me tomorrow 9 am prefer a morning weigh in.

Fantastic review , enjoying reading of your adventures with your Dad:D

Hi all I am on SW and have a fair bit to lose before my cruise next May On RCI Splendour OTS. So far I have lost 18 lb have at lest another4 st to lose..I tend to take the long and winding road approach it will come off but I am not going to be miserable on the way.Only blip in the way before Xmas is my 40th going away to Krakow for a couple of days :D

Fantastic reviews laugh out loud. You seem to have a British sense of humour.I have spent all day reading our reviews. I go on my first cruise with my DH and DD next year and can not wait.
