However, given her reaction, maybe it was a wasted effort

Are you suggesting that SS might have had a small increase in pay?

How can you be behind the back of the queue and have followers?
A very good morning to you anyway, from your esteemed leaders.

No need for us leaders to get up early when you so generously reserve our place at the front for us Towny. Most kind. You can stand down now.

You're even later Merv, and therefore further behind and I wouldn't want you exerting yourself and causing a heart attack by trying catch up.Mervyn and Trish wrote:No need for us leaders to get up early when you so generously reserve our place at the front for us Towny.

No need to exert myself dear chap. I just surf on your bow wave and stay ahead effortlessly.

See I told everyone, Batty, that other ships are available and now you've found one. First Sleazy Cruise and now Calamity. Even the riff raff on Calamity are sofisitikated enough to wear M&S string vests instead of Poundshop. Get your rip offs booked before those posh Americans get them all.Dark Knight wrote:morning also ran's and laggards

Good news for us then! But you'll be back. Trust me. Meanwhile enjoyed Sleazy and Calamity.Dark Knight wrote:I know other ships are available, which is why I don't cruise with Pile it cheap on the TBM's ,coffin dodgers cruises, like wot u do
p.s. I wonder if I can successfully start a rumour that Sleazy and Calamity are merging?

Re: Last One to Post Wins
We have been sent 3 different brochure things form Pile it cheap and not one of the offers appeals to us, we will try Celeb, to see if its worth continuing with or go back to Thomson on the "newer" ships
Pile it cheap seem to be struggling to come up with interesting itineraries?

Re: Last One to Post Wins
I know what you mean but I think it's the same with all the major cruise lines once you've done the various main options. The number of ports within reach of the UK geared for cruise ships is finite so maybe we have to do more fly cruising, which we're less keen on.Dark Knight wrote:We have been sent 3 different brochure things form Pile it cheap and not one of the offers appeals to us, we will try Celeb, to see if its worth continuing with or go back to Thomson on the "newer" ships

However, next year it's QM2 for us, which means flying back, because we specifically want to do the transatlantic into New York and stay for a while, and 2017 Caribbean with P&O, a destination we've never done. After that we fancy the Panama Canal, which could either be the first leg of a P&O worldie or a Princess Fort Lauderdale to LA, either way more flying.
By the time we've done all that we'll probably ready one of the familiar Southampton-Southampton jaunts again, or maybe another river cruise, or something completely different. There's a coast to coast US train trip that looks rather good. After all other means of transport are available!

Re: Last One to Post Wins
We've done and can recommend Alaska. Also done Iceland, but thought you'd done that too. Would like to do Northern Lights but more likely to do that as a land trip. The unpredictability worries us that we could end up with a two week cruise in the cold and dark and see nothing! Having done a Rhine cruise the Danube and Douro are on our list too.Dark Knight wrote:our list is growing

Re: Last One to Post Wins
I thought I had suddenly come across a blog version of wish you were here with Judith Chalmers, but its just you two chatting about your holiday plans.
Incidentally Merv Thomson, or should we now say TUI cruises, are now closely linked with Celebrity since RCCL have a stake in TUI cruises.
