  1. To be fair showing an interest in what’s happened is normal if you are a present/past/future passenger. The only people that will have a true insight and opinion into what happened are the ones that were onboard at the time and Saga management. Perhaps we should just wait and listen to what they have to say.
  2. Good to hear mate👍🏻 We are away xmas and new year, giving Saga a go. I think the ship is called….. Zimmer of adventure.🤷‍♂️
  3. All done from memory as well.😂😂 Hope you are keeping well Jim.😉
  4. Perhaps they were packing before the ship hit the storm, They were traveling towards home.🤷🏻‍♂️ Is it relevant..?
  5. Hi NN. Glad you are back home safe, Once again thanks for the excellent blog. We have received the 2025 information email today. keep well. Dont know if this link will work. http://m.travel1.saga.co.uk/nl/jsp/m.jsp?c=%40OhycV1nhq3qQAJhptF1hVRyCce5b2TUQPAxeq6h%2FGQo%3D&dcid=DM246746&bid=784925104
  6. As Dronnygirl said there will be literally dozens of local taxi drivers at every port in the carribean waiting to take you on day trips. It’s not usually difficult to find another couple who will share your car and costs. Welcome to cruising, Hope you have a great trip.😉
  7. Fantastic blog, Thanks for sharing your trip with us all.👏🏻👏🏻 Keep well.
  8. The ships lifeboats are used for tenders so any problems with them would be fixed pretty quickly I would imagine.
  9. Look at ID mobile, it uses the 3 network and £10 per month on a 30 day rolling contract gets you unlimited calls and texts and 10 gig internet which rolls over each month also keep your old number. plus Europe roaming.
  10. That review pretty much sums up our trip a couple of weeks ago. We were told that our preferred wine which was Arada rose wasn’t available in the MDR on a couple of nights, and I ended up going to the servers station and helping myself to the bottle that was clearly on show and available. The queue for the dining room was out past the lifts regularly and when we got to the desk we were handed a buzzer or we made our way to the buffet. As you said the staff are Marellas greatest asset as always. Food was ok, surf and turf excellent and the beach cove restaurant made a nice change, entertainment was ok. There was a really good pianist doing Billy Joel type songs. shows were same old, seen most of them before on Explorer. I think that we will be looking at other lines in the near future as we are finding the airport experience not the best lately so maybe try the Southampton departures. overall we enjoyed it because of the good itinerary and all of the good points onboard outweighed the moans. But you can definitely see where Marella are cutting back costs. Glad you enjoyed your holiday, keep well.😉
  11. Wifey wants to eat in the MDR on Christmas night and New Year’s Eve which are both formal nights so I will have to don a suit and tie,🫣 Not best pleased but worth it for peace and quiet during the following year.😂😂 Plus she goes along with “Smart casual” for me on all of our other trips. Happy wife=easy life.😉
  12. Hi PC. interesting video on YouTube regarding the whole Saga experience. worth a watch.
  13. Ma in law ( she’s 88) and my wife went with them last April mainly because of the door to door service, impressed is an understatement, they absolutely loved it. Ma in law said it was like the old day’s experience but better. We will see.😉 Sorry to Sunshinewelly for hijacking your topic.🫣
  14. All good here also. Am off to France this week to visit my daughter, (working holiday ) Thats it until Xmas then giving saga a go. Have you thought about giving Southampton or Portsmouth departures a try?
  15. Have you contacted your existing insurance provider to get a price for an upgrade.? I find that the comparison websites like compare the meerkat etc give you the best options/ choices. Insurance prices across the board have increased quite a bit this year so shopping around is essential. most travel insurance companies offer cruise cover as a chargeable extra.🤷🏻‍♂️ Good luck.
  16. Hi. Your picture is a indoor pool so it must be in the spa,🤷‍♂️ Unfortunately I haven’t been in so can’t confirm either way. The mystery deepens.😳😂
  17. Hi. Recently returned home from Ex2 and I can’t say that an infinity pool was even mentioned whilst we were onboard. But when you put the cabin tv on channel 3 there is a deck camera pointing toward the front of the ship which shows a pool, I assumed that this belongs to the spa but I never saw it being used.You can just about make it out on this photo.
  18. Apologies for not responding sooner, had problems charging my phone so gave up pretty much after the first few days, it was quite refreshing to lock it in the safe. It was a great trip, we really enjoyed it. Back home now start looking for the next one.😉 Keep well.
  19. Just arrived home from Dubrovnik. for the return journey we put our luggage outside our room late yesterday evening (Wednesday) and we picked it up at the baggage carousel at Birmingham airport. so bonded one way is how they are going this year. 😉
