Thanks very much, very helpful. There's so much tech that needs charging these days

It's a completely different game to American football. If you think its slow you should watch traditional cricket. My dad took Gary to Lords when we were first married to try and explain cricket to him. He just didn't get it ( and still doesn't) The more modern style of cricket is faster paced, twenty20.

Think the next time Italy looks at its regulations is 15 Jun

Hi can anyone whos been on Beyond in a normal infinity balcony advise what types of outlets there are, US, continental, UK or USB? And how many . Thanks

we were in 9283 - Norway Fjords cruise. Happy with this floor - in the middle of most attractions, i.e. dinning room, theatre, shops, pool deck (though it was too cold for the pool) that we didn't have to take the lift most times. Happy with our choice (concierge, was all that was available when we booked late, but nice boarding day lunch with wine and little extras throughout the cruise)

The Med diet is very healthy

Thanks for your blog, sounds like you had a great time. Love the entertainment on Royals big ships. Love also that at Southampton you can park right outside the ship and get your bags picked up from your car , so convenient Should of been on her in September but due to a happy family event we've cancelled. Maybe sneak in a quickie before she goes back to her other home

Thank you for your update. We're boarding on the 13th June, though not in a suite. Looking forward to it very much, your positive review is great to hear

The Meds has always seemed later for set dinning times. I seem to remember it was 9pm years ago

Agree its way less harmful, but the important side issue is the subsequent quarantine that you have to endure if you catch covid on board and the difficulties in getting back to your home country if it still has a negative test mandate to travel. Also agree on immunity in the general population. Thats what's happened here. Our rates was 1 in 12 with covid in March. It's now 1 in 60 and continuing downward. Of course all bets are off if a more dangerous variant comes along 🙄

Have you had Omicron before? I think you get good immunity from particular variants if you've had it already. Otherwise well done on avoiding it and enjoying your cruises.

I'm so sorry, unbelievable awful when a little one passes away, prayers to all the family 💔

Beautiful venues, special days to remember always ❤

Great explanation 👌 Our local team (Reading) is always being promoted or relegated

I'm no expert but football is close to a religion for an awful lot of people world wide, especially in Europe. The Champtions League is the top four teams in each country's league in Europe play a knockout until the final. So in theory the final is between the two top teams in Europe UEFA Champions League https://g.co/kgs/99y7MZ

Thank you @blondcatfor a great blog. Glad you and your mum had a good time. The beach photos look fab and has got me rethinking our stop in Kefalonia. I agree I wish the beach tours had longer at the beach

Originally they seemed to have a dedicated covid floor with pax being moved to OV (even if they were in suites). Recently there have been reports of people being left in their original rooms, not sure if that's because the dedicated covid rooms are full or a change in policy

There is more that could be done by the cruise lines. At the moment it seems like they are trying to deny its on board and cruise like its 2019 When Omicron reared its head in Dec/Jan they should of listened to the science that it is way more transmissible and kept the numbers on board at a lower % instead of ramping up. This would also of helped with staff shortages. IMO masks should still be mandated in theatres and on buses (tours) The dinning rooms are not full, why then have two top tables with only a 12 inch gap between them. Space them out, even if just a little bit Have more 'parties' out on an open deck Etc etc. Didn't Royal have a special medical group put together in HO to manage protocols? Eventually rates will start to go down as long as there isn't another variant.

Nope Canada, hubby has duel British/Canadian nationality and has lots of Canadian friends. So Stratford in Ontatio has a very famous theatre festival each year

I'm inside 180 but outside 90 (had it19feb). Though all our docs say 180, I've decided to take a test to be on the safe side. The only place I can see 90 days is under the health button on the app, the emails they are sending say 180days 🤷‍♀️

We paid equal shares towards my sons wedding. It was delayed by a year due covid, this gave Alex just more time to think up stuff 😁 My son put his food down at ice sculptures. We had a violinist at the wedding and pre dinner, a harpist before the speeches, live band and DJ between the band sessions . And fireworks enough to keep the whole county awake. And a mini casino!!! But it was fun fun and more fun and I loved every minute of it ......and now there's a baba on the way 💕

The good thing is that there's a tipping point in the population when it seems everyone's had it and rates start to go down again..................until the next variant 😬

And download plenty of books in case you have to isolate

If you've had it once, chances are you won't get the same variant again within a few months

Cruises out of the UK seem to be booking to near capacity
