@Caullkhead. Happy 31st anniversary to you both.

Good afternoon. It is 64°F and sunny here. Nothing much to say about today's day's or quote. We have been to Muscat Oman on Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the seas in January 2011 and January 2012 and on Royal Caribbean Vision of the seas in February 2017 but today's port was not on the itinerary for Oman. Prayers 🙏 for all who needs them. I hope everyone has a safe and happy day.

I'm sorry to hear about your twin Sandi and hope the biceps tear is not serious.

Good morning. It is 13°C and misty here. I also thought the match was boring with so many sideways and back passes. It is so easy for opposition coaches to read our tactics and get their players to push well forward and pressure our defenders who made several mistakes last night. I hope everyone is well and we all stay cool in this humid weather.

Soft and blue cheese was also available on P&O Arvia Epicurean speciality restaurant but we didn't want them.

Condolences to you Annie and your friends family.

Nice photos.

Good luck tomorrow Terri.

Thank you Kirin. I hope you are feeling a lot better today.

Hi MJ. Lovely to hear from you and thank you for popping in. Arvia and Iona are Excel class ships of 184,000 tons and the newest and biggest. Azura and Ventura are Grand class ships of 115,000 tons. Britannia is a Royal class of 143,000 tons. Arcadia is a Vista class of 83,000 tons. The smallest and oldest Aurora at 76,000 tons was built in 2000. We were last on the Grand Princess out of San Francisco to Hawaiian islands and back in November/December 2019 and although Elite loyalty we tend to favour P&O for their choice of sailings from Southampton England.

We liked these cups in 6th Street diner with fun words on them. This one was particularly good. Don't worry we're in Cruise Control.

We used to but the regional airline Flybe out of Southampton went into administration. For the last several years I have driven to Southampton. The last 2 years we have stayed in a hotel 110 miles from home then I have driven 210 miles to Southampton the next day and stopped overnight in Southampton before boarding our cruise the next day. After our cruise I drive the 210 miles to the hotel that we stayed in on the way down then drive the remaining 110 miles home after breakfast.

Thank you for your comments.

Thank you George. I hope you have another great game of golf today

Thank you for your kind comments. I'm certain you will love Arvia. We are looking at potential dates for our next Arvia cruise.

Jake @Crazy For Cats. Happy birthday to Juan.

Thank you Terry for your nice comments. Sending prayers 🙏 for Tana. I hope she is having a better day today.

Thank you for today's FR&D It is cloudy and 68°F at the moment. I called at the beach this morning after dropping Pauline off at work. As 90% of trade is via the sea our Seafarers deserve at least a day of recognition. We love the Beatles and visited the Beatles museum and the Cavern club in Liverpool as well as a mystery bus tour showing us their former homes and places of some of their songs like Strawberry Fields. Penny Lane. Pauline likes French onion soup. Thank you everyone for all of your lovely comments on My P&O Our Fantastic cruise on Arvia thread yesterday. Prayers 🙏 that everyone will be well. I wish you all a happy day.

Thank you so much for your lovely words. Your photos are always stunning.

Thank you Kalos. We stayed overnight near Doncaster on our way home.

Thank you for commenting Maryann. Like most things hidden in small print that most of us don't read I would love to tell all my friends on cruise critic about our future cruises and do a Live From Review but unless you have a house sitter it is best not to advertise your home will be empty.

Thank you for your comments. VID_20240608_162523.mp4

Thank you Jane for your lovely sentiments and your professional advice confirming insurance problems if you highlight you are away on Social media.

The speciality restaurants booking online is available 14-15 days before your sailing. The benefits are 1----20% discount. 2----Loyalty discount also taken off which is good because if you have a lot of OBC like we did your loyalty discount on board only starts after you have used up your OBC. 3----You can choose the time you want to eat.
