Good morning from the ModPlods, many thanks for our long overdue rest

What about the review of Thomson Majesty, did it fail to tickle your taste buds?

[Dark Knight]

Had a great cruise, the itinerary was fantastic
The ship not as good as the 3 others we have been on with Thomson
It will be our last Thomson cruise till the newer ships arrive

[Mervyn and Trish]

Go back to pile it high Batty. You can have newer ships now, rather than wait 30 years till they're new enough for sleazy.

[Dark Knight]

Too many others to try first Merv, before I settle for a coffin dodgers/Tbm cruise

[Mervyn and Trish]

It's the dodging that's the satisfying bit Batty. Long may it continue.

But you gave up the option to try sofistkated Celebrity, and then switched to a downmarket coffin dodgers cruise line instead, and you'll only find 5P(ence)M on CMV.

On the plus side he'll feel at home then!

Average age on our last one was 72 and not everyone who set off made it home! We even had an emergency helicopter evac by the Navy. Does that count as a coffin dodger cruise ?

[Mervyn and Trish]

Sounds more like a coffin not-dodger cruise. But you must have felt like a teenager in that company.

[qbman1]

I think I was the only person on the ship, apart from the crew, who was still working !!

[Mervyn and Trish]

I think I was the only person on the ship, apart from the crew, who was still working !!

Is that still working, as in still employed, or still working as in not deceased!

[qbman1]

Both - all parts in perfect working order !!

[Silver_Shiney]

Both - all parts in perfect working order !!

Freudian slip there, I didn't initially catch the " - all " bit

[qbman1]

What I did catch is the customary post-cruise cough. Never seems to fail - always come back with something

[Dark Knight]

Good afternoon Parvenus and Popinjays

[qbman1]

You been talking to that Susie Dent again ?!

[Jan Rosser]

Better add "ignoramus" to that greeting Batty - wasn't sure what you meant I could perhaps try to say I was having a "senior moment " as an excuse

I'm also a bit ignorant Jan, but after looking it up fortunately I don't seem to fit either, I've worked hard all my life for any wealth I have, and I don't think I dress like a popinjay, although I do become quite loquacious when I've had too much to drink.

Thanks John glad I'm not the only one

[Mervyn and Trish]

I resemble that remark

[Not so ancient mariner]

As you know I have just been to Norway & Iceland on Arcadia, and we too had a passenger helicoptered off to hospital/ At the same time one of my work colleagues was doing the 'outer circle' version of the same trip, going to Spitzbergen, Iceland and Greenland on Fred Olsen's Boudicca. When I told him about the med-evac of our passenger he replied that " they didn't bother with a helicopter for our one - just put her in cold storage!"

[Silver_Shiney]

I thought that was standard procedure. Can't imagine a helo being called out just to remove a time-expired passenger
