We found what we thought was a really good price for a Penthouse Suite on Sky Princess with the Plus package so we booked it! In a surprising turn of events the price direct with Princess was over £400 cheaper than the usual cruise agents.

P&O Cruisers - What are things like where YOU are?

I had a rather pleasant but emotional evening giving our club manager the send off he deserves, including a stunning rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone from Alfie Boe. -

If you look further back you’ll see that his Mum has been in hospital. It only takes a minute to make a quick phone call to see if she’s ok. -
I’ve sailed with plenty of different cruise lines already thank you with another new one booked for later this year. Whilst most of my cruising history is with P&O it isn’t exclusively so.
-
Any mass market cruise line sailing round trip out of the UK. Other than to cause controversy or to talk down P&O I don’t get the point of the thread 🤷♀️

Will you do a write up after the event pleeeease? 😂 We’ve never cruised with Cunard but I’m very much taken with QA so far and I’m crossing my fingers for a 2028 world cruise on her as our retirement present.

I do like the look of QA and the bits and pieces I’ve seen of her interior are quite appealing. Even though we haven’t sailed with Cunard (yet!) she’s on our list for potential world cruises when we retire in 3 years time. -
First choice of cabin on Arvia secured and paid for by 9am! 😀
-
We’ve pre-registered for Arvia in the Med as we haven’t been to Rome and Florence for a few years.

I don’t do fly cruises so not sure about itinerary but Azura is still based out of Valletta.
-
😂 I’ve actually got it on my shortlist!
-
There isn’t a Canada only one in 2026. Aurora is doing a 24 night cruise to Eastern Med including Cyprus and Egypt.

Sadly not true in my case as I have a severe allergy which means I can’t eat meat! To be honest I’m getting a bit tired of the veggie bashing that seems to be popping up with boring regularity, are veggies the new kids on board or dress code target of vilification?

Selbourne ‘Live’ from Aurora’s 2024 Grand Tour

I’ve absolutely loved following your adventures and it didn’t feel like you’d been away for so long! Welcome home Lord and Lady S. -

@grapau27 condolences on your sad loss and hugs to your lovely Sarah ❤️❤️ I hope the person who laughed (and we can see who it is!) feels suitably ashamed of themselves! -

I’m actually shocked that St Paul’s asked for £25 admission! The Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool is free entry although donations are appreciated. I would recommend a visit if you’re ever in Liverpool, the 5th largest cathedral in the world and of course we’ve also got Paddy’s Wigwam aka the ‘spare’ (as in the lyrics of In My Liverpool Home) at the other end of Hope Street. -
Selbourne ‘Live’ from Aurora’s 2024 Grand Tour

It does a bit but I’d booked an independent tour to swim with the stingrays which was the bit I was disappointed about. -

Well the Cayman Islands are a tax haven so I wouldn’t expect anything to be cheap. Really jealous that you made it to GC as it was one of the ports we missed on our 35 nighter and it was one I was really looking forward to. -

We didn’t look at Toyota only BMW, Audi and Mercedes. All of which were a lovely drive and very comfortable. -

Going to Southampton is about the furthest I drive but no way would I have considered an EV if I was driving to Calabria 😂 -

Has anyone ever used the Elizabeth Hotel pre-cruise? We’ve just ordered a new car and it’s electric so I’ve been looking for a hotel with EV charging. -

Great news Michelle hopefully she won’t be waiting too long. Your Mum has had a bit of a rough time and like the rest of us as we get older we don’t bounce back as quickly as we used to but with a bit of input from the intermediate care team she’ll soon get her spark back. -

No problem Michelle, hopefully you won’t need to be ‘assertive’. -

Hopefully there won’t be any push back and your Mum can go into rehab (or intermediate care as it’s mostly called these days). What they absolutely can’t do is discharge her as this would be classed as an unsafe discharge, although sometimes you do have to press the point with the care team. I had to do that with my Mum when she was dying and I’ve worked for the NHS for over 20 years!
