July morning

I've been on two cruises with my daughter. We share a cabin I make the booking (and pay) we were given times two hours apart. That was because I'm Caribbean level and she was a beginner 😂 I phoned and was told as we were sharing a cabin she could board with me and go to the welcome lunch which we both enjoyed😁 We were on Britannia and Ventura

Yes please, always like to see a photo or two 😂

Yes, we always do self-disembark

I really enjoyed reading your posts, it's always interesting reading about what people do and it always brings back many happy memories. Well done and if you go on another cruise I'll look forward to your posts 😁

What a lovely family you have surprising you for the cruise/Birthday 🙂

When we went on an Australian Princess Cruise it was much cheaper to book our own flights. We flew from Edinburgh to Dubia 3.5 hr layover. Dubai is such a busy and huge airport we were glad we didn't have the shorter one as I would have worried. We didn't want a stopover enroute as we've been to Hong Kong etc a few times. We went a few days earlier to get the benefit of see more of Sydney which we loved.

Well done Selbourne, I've really enjoyed reading your posts about the cruise it has brought back many happy memories

I've been getting the ads on both laptop and kindle! Perhaps I'm getting someone else's share😂😂 They are very annoying🤐

I'm really enjoying all the "livish" reports lots of people are doing 😁 keep up the good work and enjoy your holiday

We live in Scotland and School holiday starts Thursday 28th March. Have been on two cruises with grandson 4+5 (Oct half term) and he just wanted to go to the kids club both times

Selbourne, I enjoyed reading your report better late than never 😂

I tried that and it came up with the message that there was no quotes available. I'm going to leave it until we see the consultant in 4 weeks hopefully we'll get good news about the treatment. Thank you everyone for the kind messages😘

Thank you all for your kind thoughts as you can imagine it's been stressful waiting for the tests etc.

I was in the wide awake club eventually managed to nod off about 3.30am . Regarding travel insurance I called All clear for a quote as online I was getting told no offers available husband has been diagnosed with advanced prostrate cancer and we were feeling very down and really wanted a cruise. Hold on to your seats I could have cover for the sum of £3190.00 they came down to £2985.02 remember the 2p 😂 got to laugh or I'd cry! Anyway we're going to wait until until he's been on his treatment a bit longer to see if that will make any difference.

Welcome home, the plus side for you is getting your dog back bet there was lots of tail wagging (from your dog)😂 Anyway I have enjoyed the reports and your photos were good as well.

Hi Selbourne, The zoo/aviary at Cartagena is a nice way to pass time with a drink or coffee we went there after DIY was going to be hard work but the next time we went on an excursion and prefered the aviary 😂 hopefully you'll enjoy both

They could change back to how it used to be when you arrive you enter and get a card a,d,c etc and you wait seated inside could even buy a coffee etc then you get called by the card. They still at the same time had separate check in desks for priority and disabled. It only got changed when they restarted after the big C

we had one of these balconies last year and loved it. Although it's open and people could over look you it didn't happen to us that I'm aware of as the people above have to be standing and leaning against there rail to look over and I'm sure they had better things to do 😂

Thanks Avril it worked 😀

can someone tell me how to respond to some of the messages example I read a message that i think is funny or agree with but when I click on the heart, laughing face etc nothing happens 😬

We've used "Taste" on Bolletto & Borealis and it's been lovely with good service and the price booking before you is excellent 🙂

Purplesea, it's the same here my husband went for a MRI scan and we had to chase up the results over a few days not good for stress levels! I am expecting the same to happen after he gets his bone scan tomorrow 🤐

I was going to recommend BookBud but Danamis beat me. I like current crime novels as well 😉

Peanut I hope you don't mind me asking but how is your dogs eye now? hopefully a good recovery 🐶

Selbourne, please feel free to bore us rigid with your ramblings 😂 I'm enjoying them very much 😄
