We are calling at St Thomas withNCL Gem at the end of October and thinking of doing the B.O.S.S Underwater adventure. Has anyone done this before? I want to do it, but (sounds bonkers) have a bit of an aversion to fish :eek::D

We bought tickets online ahead of our visit to the Vatican Museum last year. We also went on a Weds when it was the Papal address in St Peter's Square. It was packed, but we went straight to the museum and missed the queues because most people were waiting to see the Pope and we had pre-booked tickets so got straight in without queuing to buy.

I have to say I wasn't impressed with the Vatican museum at all. St Peter's Basilica however is fabulous (and free to get in!!)

On our last cruise (NCL Epic) there were a few kids at the buffet without their parents who were sticking their fingers in chocolate cakes and licking them and moving on to the next. When you went to get dessert, there was nothing edible as they were all destroyed. We also experienced a child gargling water and then spitting it out between their teeth on the outdoor eating area - in front of their mother I might add - which was nice too.

Though it's not just kids to be fair. I have seen my fair share of greedy, unruly trough-like creatures in adult form piling their plates higher than K2 in the buffet and going to sit and eat - then leaving half the mountain cos they'd had enough. Why so greedy? The buffet is open for hours and there's more than enough for everyone. Makes me so cross to see so many greedy people who have no consideration for anyone else.
