Boeing never expected the lithium batteries on dreamliners to ignite causing a complete grounding for months

Indeed most scooters and batteries are manufactured in China , point being reputable dealers are using tried and tested products that have been around for years not ones sourced independently from manufacturers who are not .

Dont want to name names but sounds like costco , if you google name with fire it brings it up
-
There is a British mobility company selling cheap chinese mobility scooters that use untested lithium batteries , their own warehouse caught fire a few weeks ago that stored said batteries . Who knows how many of these are out in the field .

The battery pack looks more like the mobility scooter type -shape not a powerchair , it would be very odd for it to be just left in middle of walkway , these cannot just fall off
-
Thanks for that , most helpful
-
Stella and Moretti will do , ThanksJohnny

Just booked this cruise for next year , out of interest what were the choices of lager please do you know if they also had cider
-
Both on package and independent , also read on cc that you can opt to carry on the ship your own luggage , they must scan cases dockside , so no need to wait for cases to arrive at cabin , I have been tempted by this but never tried this
-
Yes Jim we have done this a few times on different cruise lines , I think it was called independent carry off or something like that . From memory you were notified of how to leave ship on disembarking day and ticked box that this is what you were doing , only downside trying to get in lifts with your party and luggage can be manic
-
In the past it was an option to take your own suitcases off on your own which we have done a few times

Thanks for the interesting read , we were docked beside this ship in Antigua earlier this year , it looked great so we booked it for this coming February starting from Barbados . The booking via App sounds like a faff though also we are booked with friends who have booked a cabin with balcony at rear of ship , is the infinity pool splashing over a problem .

The Americans love tipping , of course you tip them

My other half going on this ship in a few weeks time , That main menu , ham egg and chips lol

She sounds quite high maintenance , are you sure they have picked the right cruiseline

Tui are proving to being an absolute shambles for any aftersales , I am still waiting for response where they mailed they would come back to me in usually 28 days , this was in February . Despite being a very good customer over the last 15 years i am now booking holidays and other cruises elsewhere
-
Depends where you dock DM is a big place , I have docked at Samana before which is not the best , however second visit there in Samana we took a boat ride over to Bacardi Island which was stunning .

Has this not been the case for sometime now
-
A few year ago on canary sail away 2 elderly men starting fighting over one pinching the others drink ! it was all inclusive , after breaking up the scrap I said to one that this was going to be the last TUI cruise . Not any more always something entertaining going on

Because Brummijam clearly stated by a post from someone else the cruise attracted mainly scottish and northern England people
-
Yes Cliff we were docked beside it in Antigua it looked fabulous compared to discovery , We booked on to go next February and it was £1000 cheaper and flying with Tui from our local airport direct to Barbados

Sure this has happend before , arnt they part of the RAF

We did discovery in February and found long ques at bars , Our balcony was filthy for two weeks you could write your name on the glass , issue on flight back and damaged case , still awaiting outcome and this cruise was not cheap , I booked P&O next cruise , we have done 30 plus with TUI and enjoy the atmosphere that celebrity , princess etc do not have , see what P&O are like .
-
Yes there are cutbacks following our discovery cruise a few weeks ago , we have done a lot of TUI cruises but booked P&O for next cruise , looks much better ship and working out a lot cheaper

Battery technology is rapidly advancing , lithium phosphate does seem the way to go ,problems are long term testing , people want lightweight but maximum AH , do not want to pay the price tag and want them now
