We thought Arvia was brilliant. Everything except the beef bucco in Olive Grove. Very fatty, but the lamb shank terrine was very good. Apart from that brilliant.

Perhaps when you are 30, 60 is elderly. 10 year olds probably think 30 is elderly. I am vegan. I eat the veg before the meat, so for the first half of my meal I am strictly vegetarian . Second half, carnivoriferous. On our cruises there are no elderly people, but as I'm 74, not many 100 year olds. I dislike generalisations, but most folk do.🤣

I would worry about a sunbed. We will be going to the Canaries in November and expect some warm weather when we arrive. We are going by air.

I do get confused. Am I a demographic, or a cohort ?. Which is best ? Am I allowed to be both, or indeed neither ?. So I need to sell my AMG and buy a Cardi ?

We booked through the app, but only for our cabin. I don't know if you can book onboard in advance. The myholiday app and procedures worked well, but you did need to book things ASAP.

Sorry, but in my demographic fish and chips is made of fish.....and chips.🤣

Book 710 as soon as you get onboard. Sometimes you can get myholiday in the terminal, but in April we wizzed straight through.

It's PC to have a veggie restaurants. If they made it free with a smaller selection,all the veggies could eat there and we could have a few more items on the MDR menus . There is a fish restaurant in the quays and some fish items on the MDR menu.

5 free drinks a day mainly🥂🥳🍷

We saw that Graham. Currently we are Emerald on RC, so Select on X. When we get back in October we will be Diamond/Elite. The new reciprocal scheme won't actually benefit us. In about 20 years we will be Diamond+. Just like all you very loyal folk.😁. Out next big jump will be on NCL. Only about 3 nights needed.

We have only ever claimed once, but as you say, you don't know if they are any good until something goes wrong.

We found that, but in all the years cruising have only missed I port. We have usedgood to go for a couple of air holidays, but not for cruises. At the end of the year we can go back to annual, but for now TTP will.do the job.

A long, long walk. Get the shuttle and save the hastle. If it's hot you may not survive the walk back.

Not actually recommended, I wouldn't do that for anything, just passing on information so the fellow cc members can decide. If commission is due I won't say no.🤣

We did that with RC and saved about £300pp. Not mega, but pays the drinks bill. It was actually cheaper than I anticipated as they gave us another £350 " seniors " discount and wrinklies money off excursions ,30%. Last year we played chicken with TUI and saved about £500 on a week to Menorca. Late booking May result in missing out on your plan A, but....

Last year I used a comparison website for medical condition. The quotes range from £400 through £1200 to your having laugh.

Ours was £130 . Both wrinklies with medical conditions.

We used then for our cruise last month. They cover emergency evacuation and medical expenses from and on the ship to £15m. Their website says all their policies cover cruises ( I printed that bit off ). They don't pay out for missed ports are if you are late back and miss the ship.They were around a third of the price of the ' full' cruise cover policies. We are using them again in September.The bits they don't cover don't particularly bother us anyway.

A bit like teenagers, but they don't borrow the car.

We are on Anthem of the seas to the Canaries later in the year. 3 cruises. All full.

We went to a bear sanctuary in Alaska .Lots of Eagles in the trees. They swoop down and eat the bears food. On balance I would prefer a seagull pinching my pasty 🤣

We get wood pigeons. A fact of life, but we don't live in a wood. Of course visitors shouldn't feed seagulls. I would guess that all the takeaways and many holiday lets in costal villages are owned by locals. Many folk earn their living due to visitors. This little fellow was simply having a quiet coffee. I think Angel57 must now him. He lives in Weymouth.

At least I won't get a mention on KUMB, but plenty of Seagulls in Barking.🤣

Perhaps it's the blue. We get magpies and I tend to get purple spots.

Surely not all visitors are vermin.!
