Appalling weather all evening and all night here in Dorset. Very very windy and heavy rain. Just dreadful. At least the dog slept as no fireworks about.

Have a wonderful day Michelle and best wishes to the Bride and Groom. Please let us know how it all went. Gill

Happy Birthday Brian. They used to say life begins at 40…. I’ve heard it is now 70 - so let us know!! Have a great day. Gill

Many years ago (early 90s) on the old Victoria the afternoon bingo was great fun. The then cruise director (Ian Fraser) ran it at around 4.30pm and it was an absolute comedy routine from start to finish. I seem to recall the pot was rolled over if not claimed and then the jackpot was won on the last sea day (I’m not sure if P&O took any profit, but I somehow doubt it). There were always “looks” if someone won it if they’d not played previously 🤣🤣🤣 it was not digital and the balls were pulled out of a bag! I wouldn’t play it now, but I loved it back then (and never won).

Really sorry to hear about your situation. You would have thought P&O would have the compassion to let you transfer the money to a future cruise. But sadly, I’m not surprised they don’t. I hope things get sorted.

I had a new WB boiler a few weeks ago. I cannot believe how much quieter it is and I’m hoping more economic. The old Glo-Worm that was here when I moved in was only 8 years old when it completely died!

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Graham and great to be getting your government pension…… Have a wonderful day and enjoy your birthday meal out with Pauline and your Sarah. Gill x

Where has the time gone! I haven’t aged at all and I’m sure you haven’t either! 🤣🤣🤣

I’ll keep my fingers crossed your cruise happens Mick. Gill

Many many Congratulations to you and all the family in welcoming a new treasured young lady to the family. I can totally understand your thoughts as you held her - we always so wish we could share special moments with those missing from our lives.

I’ve got both. Little one last week, big one today! Am Caribbean tier, last cruise Dec2019, next cruise June 2022.

I use this - it is a very useful page. We had a bad storm about an hour ago - thunder, lightning and extremely heavy rain…. On the plus side this weather means no fireworks!!

We had thunderstorms and torrential rain between 5am and 9pm but now have blue skies and sunshine! Poor Freddie hates the thunder and that came on top of blasted fireworks last night…..😡

So sorry to hear of your loss Ann. Losing our Mums is very tough at any age. Hoping all goes well on Monday. Gill x

I’ve only done world cruises on Aurora (2012/13/14 when world was very different) but have visited most of those ports. In my opinion, I’d say the itinerary was a good one and going the right way round - But it’s very much down to what you personally want to see and do.

Those mushrooms are everywhere at the moment……. Used to work in Epsom for an oil company and lived not far from there. Lovely area.

Thanks Harry. I could get one at beginning of November but (and maybe a silly decision) I didn’t want it within a few days of the other booster. So have 14th November booked now.

I just had my flu jab for tomorrow cancelled as no available supply. Had to rebook for mid November!

You can never tell what it’ll be like at any time of the year. More likely to be a little rougher during the winter, but I’ve had it really calm and also had a force 10. If prone to seasickness aim for mid-ships and start taking the sea sickness tablets before the ship departs as most are preventative as opposed to a cure.

Fog has just descended here in Dorset and the temperature has dropped. Yuk!

Have a fab time and enjoy your wonderful cruise. Your dinner out looked very nice indeed.

Also some English schools have two weeks holiday for the October half term.

I’ve taken an unfinished cocktail or G&T into the dining room so pretty sure there wouldn’t be a problem with that.

They said food waiters took wine order. They didn’t have to wait any longer than before.

Friends got off Aurora today and said there were no wine waiters
