On Arvia we were running a little late. When we ordered in the MDR I said to the waiter ' we may skip desert as we are booked into the 8.30 show followed by 710. This was at 7.40. Order pudding folks, I will speed things along for you. Best food on any of our P&O cruises.

Brian tops them up with Voddy. He hasn't tested positive.

On the 7 night cruise we have booked for next year we got £80 OBC. If we had chosen extra OBC, the extra would have been £80. That's £80+£80. That would have left us with having to pay for parking. P4C want £98. £80 -£98 = -£18.Not a good outcome. We have never had an issue with CPS, so have no reason to change.

We did a med cruise in April. Only Italy wanted to see our passport, but didn't stamp it.

I looked at 2 week Arvia cruises for next summer. Drop the parking and get £120 extra OBC. P4C want £130.

£80 OBC with select. Choose between coach, parking ,or extra £80 OBC. Next June P4C is £98 for the week. Drop parking, get £80 extra OBC and pay £98 cash to P4C. No brainer really, but if the situation was reversed, would I go through the faff to save £18..No.

On our next cruise we could pick parking with CPS, or an extra £80 OBC. Parking 4 cruises price for the same cruise is £98, so actually a few quid in our favour. 🤣

Our carry on has the wine and soda. We would prefer that it was treated gently.

I'm 74 and print mine from my android phone via Chrome with my wireless printer. I didn't ask a kid either. Just lucky I suppose.🤣

We always book select as we don't want leftover cabins, so we use CPS and get to pick when we eat. We get some OBC as well. Folk will do what fits their budget.

Nearly a successful day at Gunwharf yesterday. Nothing DW fancied in the Michael Kors shop and the snobby sales Lady gave me a huff and a men don't understand......Can I help you sir ? Yes convince my wife it is all well overpriced.....result. We walked around the corner and there was the Radley shop....poo £99. I got a shirt. in the Crew shop. That'll do for our Anthem cruise....you've got lots of polo shirts....women don't understand....Lunch in Carluccios. 25% off with taste card. Stay at home today.🤣

We always use CPS. Never a problem dropping of car, or collecting keys. Can't really be bothered to save a few quid.

Great report Vamps .As you know we sail with P&O, probably about a third. Celebrity Royal and NCL for the rest. We are on Anthem in September for the second time. I hope they lift their game. We have booked our third Fjords cruise for next June on Britannia. Thanks for your review.

I remember your report from the first cruise you took your girls on..inside cabin, upgraded onboard..never look back. Your little girls will have these memories for life.

Good idea. A great City, but you can't look up.

We haven't been for a while either. I wonder if they did a pre Olympic clean up after the dogs.

The weather looks good next week. Shall we pop down to Gunwharf. ...OK dear, shall we take a picnic?. OK, we can have that before we look in the Michael korrs shop....got me again.😂

Rockies were indeed spectacular, but we saw more eagles in Alaska. Both will do.

In fairness to some of the companies, if they are in a quality assurance scheme with 3rd party accreditation, a requirement of the standard is continuous improvement. The cheap way of measuring that is a customer survey.

That was our retirement present to ourselves. Calgary to Vancouver staying at Fairmont hotels, Rocky mountaineer, Alaska Cruise. Majestic scenery. No silly tourist stuff for us...oh no.

They could hang up great big cotton sheets. The wind would catch in the sheets and pull the ships along . I doubt that would catch on.

I bet you thought your friendly seagull had come home.🤣

We stayed at Jasper park lodge. Brilliant, also on our way to Van conversion(stupid computer, I typed Vancouver) to join a Celebrity cruise. Look what turned up outside our room.

18-20 sounds like a heatwave at the moment.

Sometimes you come across ..." I'm off. I'll never post on here again "..2 pages later...guess what.🤣
