We make coffee in our cabin using special little sachets. We use nescafe.

As a fellow oldie I will book Iona/Arvia when the right deal comes along. Some folk seem to be fixated with age and IT. For goodness sake, it's a holiday.

We don't pay for WiFi on the ship. When DW wants something she has to tell me personally rather that message me with her instructions.

Sounds like you've got lots of fans.🤣

Food looks good. Is that a fan to cool the food down?.

Let's hope they don't sink that low. We fly to Majorca on Friday with BA. As it's only a short flight, we are in economy Food is a small bottle of water and a bag of crisps.

These are my old swim shorts. I don't wear them since that nice American Lady asked for my cabin number.

We always have a look. If We find any they are going home with us. Too good for kids.

When my company was taken over by Americans I was told I would report directly to the Vice President.......I said....nothing.😁

As a matter of interest, from a photo, how can you tell if the food is hot, warm, or cold?.

In the old days steerage only got gruel, the toffs got 7 courses. I think most folk nowadays have 2 courses, or 3 if very, very hungry.

Anything on the right hand page of any interest. Looks fine to me.

Every 2 weeks, on a Friday morning I had to attend a progress meeting. If anyone wanted me our secretary would say ' ees Barking e is. '

You could always ask for a day off.🤣

That's where one of the site access points was.

Not far actually, but a bit further away from houndsditch, but a good way from Catford

A few years ago we supplied materials to construct the Barking By-pass. It's thanks to those of us involved in the project that Barking is the delightful little Riverside village that we all love and enjoy today.🤣

The app has worked fine for us. Other folk report the app has worked fine for them. My SiL said ' the app isn't working ". I told her ..Airplane mode on, then go back in and turn wifi on'. ...Oh !...seems OK now.

Really ?, they touched your toast with their hands ?. I bet you gave them what for.

I will bring them home and let them have a swim at bathtime.🤣

Significant issues should always be reported. You were right to let them know. We have found Wight link to be quite helpful. We were at Bembridge just before lockdown. Some sailings to Portsmouth were being cancelled, or postponed due to a storm. We jumped the gun and wightlink changed us to Yarmouth. We heard that the Whitney Houston Tribute and her band were at Bembridge an extra 24 hours. They are quite happy to change the times around if they can.

Gone up a level on Anthem.

Is this an official P&O game. Do you get a gold star if you find a duck?.

We have been on a few P&O cruises since let out. 6 in fact. Not gone hungry or thirsty, been in queues of any significance, we got entertained and booked stuff on the app. We enjoyed every moment. I am sure if we wondered around the ship examining things, something would show up...I lie. There were no decaf teabags one day. I asked the man and he got some and a few for the cabin. Some folk seem to have their fair share of issues, some have none. Perhaps we are just lucky.🤔

Going along happily doesn't necessarily signify a weakness. Going along happily may also mean just dealing with minor trivia. The fact that there are no card rooms, libraries, or ballroom dancing on some ships may be major issues for some, but not even noticed by others. I quite like a disposable paper menu, rather than one that has been handed around for weeks. Holidays are to enjoy, not to get stressed out by every little issue.
