The first ship already exists - Saga have built it. 

And ours certainly won’t be the second. Not a bad idea generally but not for us.

I agree Pete !

I know from experience i always spend more when i have my family with me.

 

Uncanny that ! 

Many years ago when I got married and had children ,I also noticed how much more money I seemed to go through.

This was not exclusive to a cruise ship, it also could happen at the coast, theme parks ,even shopping centres .

There was I thinking it was just me .

What about a horizontal people mover as per Carnival Corporations "Pinnacle Project" 2004 but a smaller model.

Harry Redknapp was on a Princess cruise were on last year as a guest speaker and he was very interesting and very approachable and likeable person.

 

Interesting, did he mention any exciting new exotic flavours and is he considering a marmalade variant?  Were recipes or DVDs available for purchase at the end or just the Jam Roly-Polys?

Redknapp not only snaffling a free cruise but getting paid for being on it. Sounds about right. 😉

[Twogreynomads]

How about using Harlequins lounge from Oriana for some high class dad dancing?

Isnt that what all speakers/entertainers do. Cant win if there was no entertainment you would be complaining.

By the time we get our ship, it will probably be grandad dancing for all not just most.

Sigh, it was clearly - I'd have thought - a comment intended as humour, not to be literally dissected.

I thought it was intended as a slur on Harry Redknapp, which I thought was unfair.

You'd think as a Huddersfield Town fan you'd have a sense of humour. 😏

 

Oops, sorry, an unfair slur on the Terriers. 😢

 

Jesus! 😮

I wonder if Gary will pay for his cruise on Iona at the end of August. If he applies for a FCC, it should only take a minute.

The boy band that is Graham, Pete, Damian, Terrier John, Harry and Wowzz will definitely spark the audience.. 

 

I knew years of singing hymns at mass in church would pay-off one day!

 

Next step is to come up with a name. I was trying to think of something to include Pando but nothing came to mind. Instead I'll suggest "The Ludlows" 😉

 

Any other suggestions?

No, Captain Kalos definitely has a better ring to it. 

First mate Andy is more my comfort zone. 

I'm looking forward to seeing our 'Headliners'

Avril & Frank are our own Peters & Lee and we have lots of contenders for the female dance troupe... 💃

I missed this first time. As singing is definitely not my forte, I’ll have to be the one chosen for his good looks rather than his singing voice. That is if the Pete you mention is me and not another Pete.

How about one of these words that have appeared all of a sudden... 

The Furloughs has a ring to it, or Pivot... 

I've got it... 'NO REFUND'... 😊

If that's what you want to do Pete but I think for the day job you could be ships purser and take bookings .

Your job would be to sell our cruisers sailing next week.

We will be doing covid tester mini cruisers 1 night Southampton to Weymouth which has a tour of Weymouth's

M&S Supermarket and a quick cuppa in the Pavillion 

I have inside information that this is the place to be seen .All the other cruise ships are going there 

as we speak , look at the link below and you will see that I am right .

Happy to do the job you suggested but you need a refunds expert as well and to paraphrase a song title: ‘A good refund is hard to find’. 
Are we ready to go as soon as next week? I will be amazed if it is finished and seaworthy. And who is going to park it for us? A rethink needed methinks.

Mystery swimmer heads out to ship to see if he can get a refund (0.39 sec)  Andy maybe ??

Maybe it is Andy but I am not sure how good his breaststroke is.
