Mind you , even when we had an early start , and I went to bed early , I never used to be able to sleep the night before my hols
my holidays started the night before
Why doesn't that surprise me?
Baz posted:Why am I not surprised
listen a fortnight with my ex husband abroad, I needed to party early 
Baz posted:Dame_Ann_Average posted:Sprout posted:Oooo! I wonder if she's going on that new biggest liner in the world....Harmony Of The Seas!
loads go from Southampton Pam, seems likely that's where she heading if she's getting up that early
Or she could be flying out to say the med and picking up a ship there ....quite a lot of them do it like that

Apparently, once you've done one you won't go back to the other kind of holidays, and to be honest I know a few peeps that have done a good few cruises. My Aunty Pam's going on a river cruise shortly

Yes , not my idea of fun either ....if I ever did go on a cruise I'd rather go from S'oton and cruise all the way
Rosgirl posted:the thought of having to endure two flights and a cruise gives me hives
the thoughts of two flights and a boat gives me a fecking nervous breakdown...detest both

I think it depends on what kind of cruise holiday you go on and which ship/agency you pick by what I can gather
Rosgirl posted:its not the movement as such just being organised like Butlins on water and no personal space
I would go with that too, everything I would hate on a holiday. Plus the motion thing, I would be throwing up for the world

your options are limited once you're on, you either get with what's on offer or wait until you port...would be my worst nightmare

There are some ships that cater for the more 'mature' peeps and some that are 'family friendly' If I went on a cruise, I know which ship I'd like to be on

Mr B wants to go on one of those Mind you , given his mobility and deafness I can't see the point .
I'm a creature of habit, I love long walks in the morning before it's not too hot to melt, light lunch and a book by a pool...swim and maybe a glass of wine...bliss

but you're still stuck with the routine, I like to explore far too much. I love tenerife, sitting over the harbour enjoying a nice meal at night and a stroll....ships would bore me to death

I know someone who takes a walking frame on the cruise ship, he's not as mobile as he was due to a stroke he had when he was 26

I love to explore but seeing a few places in one go appeals in a way
