I know. I know 🙂 I just wanted to guide them away from Chicos. And that is a great thread. I think I mentioned that I wish they would put it at the top of the O page.

We may do occasional cruises - while we're relatively health - but, yes, like you we want to travel around - maybe trains? - and go places that logistically a ship can't go.

Not by my taste! I did a quick glance to see if they'd changed. Nope. Too frou-frou for me. I'm with @pinotlover

My only difference is that I have a long (mid-calf) black knit skirt and matching tunic.

Well then, I know where some of the blame goes.

We also.

Here's what you ask: " My question is can I report this to the UK police or is there no point ? That's been asked and answered. Multiple times. After 85 posts I think this OP post has been worked to the max. This is a social media board. There's a limit to anything original showing up at this point.

Sorry. I was asking @pinotlover specifically. And also anyone else who wouldn't switch from Oceania without something more than things like this.

So I'm curious. In light of quite a few things recently, are you considering no longer 'buying their product"?

What I figured.

Just curious. Are they all male?

And therein lies the rub 🙂 I just saw that you're in Gold River. We used to live at Tahoe. Nice area.

I have never seen anyplace - granted I live on the Left Coast - where men's and women's haircuts cost the same. Never 🙂

Mine is US$80 and I tip 20%. I'm REAL picky about my haircuts 🙂

There do seem to be people who want it all 🙂

PS: I hate the term "foodie" so let's just say we're really into food and it drives our travel 🙂

I totally agree. We actually ate the majority of our dinner there and no reason other than the food was so good.

This* I am far less likely to make a scene now than I used to be for that reason.

This.

Just saw this FWIW. US military leaders press Israel to shift from major combat as Iranian-backed ship attacks escalate https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-major-combat-operations-austin-b201d682a10735c0bc6847359edeca8b

Oh I hear you. Those "wardrobe pieces" just stay in a different area of my closet and get worn for years sometimes. PS: I don't think I've ever owned a "sundress." 🙂

To each their own. For sure. We've done a few cruises and some escorted land trips. Each have their plus and minuses. We also continue to do DIY as I call it. There's just so much of the world that is unavailable from a ship. And for some people that's fine. Even more than fine. But not for us. At some point I suppose we won't be well enough for DIYs (in our 70s now) but then we may switch to trains. Good luck.

Whereas I'd order the sea bass but not the fish and chips. Always.

Who's going to "escort" the cruise ships?

I think you and I are agreement.
