    I'm sure you will have a great cruise and will get loads of advice from folk who cruise solo. As regards drinks, we take a small suit case, carry on size where we put all our soft drinks, water and wine. Having wheels helps a great deal. Keep it with you through check in and dump it in the cabin ASAP

    Back in the day, folk purchased guide books. We still have a cupboard full of them. Nowadays folk expect somebody to tell them what they can do in the places the ship visits. A bit like ' Le Havre..Paris ', or London ( Southampton ). Most ports have a tourist desk at the exit. They will give folk a map, but they will need to read it themselves.

    I watch some of the Ladies footy. Very good players. We have a few stage schools in town. The girls train for music and dance. The boys take acting lessons to help in their football.

    Can't remember his name, but the bloke who invented the cats eye for roads. He was a millionaire. He had a few televisions in his lounge all set on different channels to save getting up to turn them over....perhaps he should have invented a remote control.🤔

    Sticking some in the fridge helps. Fill the bottles up in the bathroom. Same water as the bars.

    Is it just me ?. Turn on the telly on Sunday morning and no presenter bleating on about some by election ,or other. On BBC , NED 1...POR 0. Can the Ladies Have a match on telly every Sunday morning. Sunday brunch at 9.30, Gran Prix at 2.00. Could be a good day. Come on NED, POR, Lewis and Lando.🤣

    We take a couple of bottles back to the ship from the port visits. The tinned water tastes a bit... tinny.

    One voucher for one drink.

    We drove once and flew once, but TBH if folk don't want us to visit their city , we will spend our money somewhere else.

    We had a nice Italian lunch. When we got the bill, we said....nice, but not that nice. Somewhere else next time.

    I'm sure all you knowledgeable folk won't need reminding that Turkey is not EU. I forgot and it cost £5. Fortunately I had my limit set at £5.

    The Cornish sea air keeps her going ,along with the cream teas. Some of our Cornish folk will know the place. Lots of 1940's memorabilia and music. She was explaining the cream tea protocol to a German family with Vera Lynn playing in the background. Sometimes life is a bit bizarre.

    We had a cream tea in Mousehole ( the place ) last week. The Lady in the tea rooms had owned it since 1897. She explained in great detail why the jam goes on first. It sounded very scientific. All to do with absorption and viscosity and what hits the taste buds first. We tried it her way. Very nice too.🤣

    Butter, them cream, then jam

    Not just you. As far as I am concerned, it's a bit like snooker. 🤣

    He did say he would be taking a long break from this forum. Perhaps Indefinite .

    We are booking 2 weeks on Arvia to the med next year. The process is less than we paid on Britannia 5 years ago the Quality is fine except for us.

    We don't drink much and don't use the onboard WiFi so all that is.not important.

    Perhaps some like cruising g with P&O as they offer good prices and quality.
  24. zap99
    The Cornish Arms is close to where we stay sometimes. Food is good and the prices are as expected.....from a pub with his name on it.🤔

    Thanks, been watching it. I was wondering if Olly and Gary had been on cruises at the same time. They seem to know each other fairly well.
