Any chance of putting your cabin pictures on the cruiselinerooms dot com site, at the end of the day it will help others to see what any future rooms are likely to be like

Thanks

I have no part in the room site and no financial gain either.

Do not purchase a marine band vhf handheld.

These require a radio licence and also may interferre with the safe navigation of marine traffic and Distress.

Having read the various forums it appears that any walkie talkie is unreliable onboard due to the bulkheads, deckheads and various electrical circuitry onboard.

Some people have suggested 'post it ' stickers

Sorry I could not be of more help

In my own humble opinion :D a suit does not make a man' date=' but what's underneath. ;) [/quote']

 

You wear something underneath? How quaint !!!

 

We have our kilt !!

Nope not the Uganda, just a few years before that, first trip on P&O was outbound from UK to Singapore !!!!....

Sailed on the first Oriana, Arcadia, Oronsay, Chitrel, Chusan and a few others to name.....

The year, well first cruise was 1958-1959 (First birthday onboard)

Makes mental note........

avoid any trips that 'FEED-MAN' is on....

Out of curiosity are you related to J Edgar Hoover ?

I sailed on the Britannis when I left Hong Kong in 1972, our first part of the voyage was on the Neiuw Holland down to Brisbane and then Sydney in Australia. We then spent a week or so there bofore catching the Mv Britannis all the way back to UK. 8 Weeks, visitng Wellington, Taihiti, Gallapagos islands, Panama Canal, Curacao, Azores and then finally Southampton. That was long before the modern type cruising was thought about, it was a relaxing time before we moved back to the UK

I remember the majority of the crew were greek, well I suppose that was to be expected as she was a greek ship. The last time I ever saw that big liner was alongside in Barbados in 1978 when the Navy ship I was on called in. I even still have the picture of her lying alongside in Barbados.......It was fun in the pool when the ship rolled, you ended up getting some big waves and at times the pool could not be used as it was too dangerous. I think one of the films onboard they were showing was the 'Battle of the Bulge' no not the slimming / diet movie with likes of Olivia Newton John......

The last thing I thought about when I left that ship was how much I never wanted to see Octopus again, after 8 wks of Hors D'oeuvres which consisted of various forms of cooked octopus I started having nightmares and I think still mentally scared even now !!!...........
