Good evening all. All packed & ready then?

Good evening all. All packed & ready then?

Just about only the last few items to finish off on Friday morning. However the major problem with packing early is remembering what you packed, and where, so its easy to check when you're uncertain.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Sounds like a senior moment Towny!

Enjoy your trip and look on the bright side, you'll soon be back on Britannia so you've got something to look forward to.

Fifteen months till Britannia Merv, but I will be road testing your Ventura 2017 cruise next January, unfortunately before they get their 32" TV sets.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Just take your binoculars for viewing! I'll be interested to hear how that one goes but keep quiet if it's awful!

Since I spend very little time watching the TV in the cabin, an increase in screen size is not on my list of priorities for a ship. Quite honestly, the presence of a decent promenade deck wold be a bigger factor in my choice of ship.

[Mervyn and Trish]

I don't think there's any plan to enlarge those. Sorry.

[Silver_Shiney]

Why not? A bit of scaffolding round the side to support a few planks and maybe a length of rope for a handrail, shouldn't take much effort to install?

Is a decent Prom deck one without topless bathing, or one without doddering old folk snoring in their chairs and stretching their legs out for the power walkers to trip over?

Morning all

Can't wait for Towny's bigoted and biased review of Celebrity Eclipse , I await the PandO denegration with barely concealed disinterest , or I would normally ,except that Eclipse is my next cruise ship, so Bigot and Bias away Ferret botherer

[qbman1]

Just ask Merv, he's give you the true picture about Calamity

[Dark Knight]

Sorry, Just stopped laughing at that one QB
Merv is the last person I would ask for an unbiased opinion on any other cruise line, (No Offence Merv) we all know he gets back handers from PandO to wax lyrical about how wonderful they are and how they are the only cruise line worth considering
Once the bribes, sorry incentive payments dry up, we will see the truth about "Pile it cheap, sell it high"

[Mervyn and Trish]

Oh don't get me started. Its one claim to sofistikashun is down the pan now Batty's going.

But I notice that Calamity 's PR spokesman has a couple more P&O cruises booked. I think he's ready to come out.

[Silver_Shiney]

We're going for tour of the Eclipse next month. We are keen to compare her with the other lines we've been on

[Dark Knight]

Good Man, Shiney, at least we can get the unbiased opinion of somebody other the flag waver of Pando and the anti Pando naysayer
I am relying on you to be objective and unblinkered

I try not to do bigoted and biased Batty in case I upset some sensitive soul, although finding a sensitive soul on here is a bit like finding hen's teeth.

[qbman1]

We're so sensitive - in fact may of the posts often move me to tears !!

[Dark Knight]

tears of laughter at the Brokeback mountain pair?

anywho, enough badinage, when are you on your next fossils cruise QB and where are you going next?

[Mervyn and Trish]

They cause me some movement too.

August - on the tugboat Adonia - round Britain (well, up to Shetland, anyway)

No doubt you will be acquiring a little souvenir before she goes to the yanks............table ware, silver, paintings, carpet....

I'm confident Shiney's report will be glowing. Most ships have good and bad points and Calamity Collapse is no exception. Our gripe was over p*ss poor service interspersed with repetitive self congratulation. Hopefully they'll manage to keep it together for the duration of a ship tour.
