    Absolutely, but they are not paid a lot for the amount of hours they work. A lot of them are sending the money home to support their families. No benefit payment where they

    I agree. When my Mum had to move to a care home I was able to fill her room with pictures and favourite ornaments, etc. to make it feel more like home. It is a very difficult situation.

    I wonder how much of a pay rise the crew got to compensate for the loss of gratuities, and if it was awarded to all crew, not just those face to face with pax. Having talked to a few who I have got to know quite well, I doubt if it was very generous!

    Nice jumper. Awful jeans!

    This subject is always divisive. Personally I like to reward the crew members who enhance the enjoyment of my cruise. But then I only really use the small ships, where I find the crew more engaging and friendly, plus I have fixed dining. Each to their own.

    Just putting up markees for Exmouth Xmas market. Much bigger than usual. We also have all day parking for £2. I think we are lucky.

    Yes, always.

    Considered doing this once with Celebrity. In the end just stopped using them!

    Of course. Or on to another bar to finish there.

    As the prom deck is covered, I don't think you would notice any smoking above.

    Varies by ship. Arcadia kept bottles in club last month, Ventura this month did not.

    On Arcadia we get Xmas gifts and a small Xmas tree in the cabin. Lovely decorations too. Just off Ventura and the decorations up already!

    Sounds good. Mine will be on Arcadia, bobbing about in the Atlantic!

    Just off Ventura. Have to say service and food were both excellent.

    If they informed people sanitiser does not kill Noro, maybe more would wash their hands. Wishful thinking, I know!

    Think the medics on board know the difference between the two.
  18. Fionboard
    Because symptoms of Noro are entirely different to Covid!

    On Ventura now. Docking at Ocean tomorrow instead of Mayflower.

    Beer o'clock somewhere!

    Sit down on Ventura currently. Does vary though. Personally prefer buffet.
  22. Fionboard
    All up!

    In Santiago from Vigo. Absolutely soaked and cold. Looks like Lisbon cancelled due to strike. Hey ho!
