Last night - sorry, was watching and half way through I thought of you 

[jillydoll]

🤣😂🤣

Hello ladies.

Friends of ours had a Cruise cancelled but instead of a refund they were offered a replacement trip for November which they accepted.  Now they are not sure that will go ahead. Things are complicated because one has Type 2 Diabetes and the other is taking immune suppressants. They like cruises for the on board medical care as well as everything else but keeping away from COVID on a ship would be very difficult.

Take care ladies.

That's the reason we now go with Cunard,they are very strict on hygiene,whereas P&O never checked anyone,people just walking into the dining hall and not using the hand sanitizer,coming back onto the ship from trips and again walking right past the sanitizer,selfish lot,whereas Cunard have staff at every point making sure EVERYONE uses it,of course that was for norovirus now there's a double whammy,not even sure if we'll get away at Xmas   
Oh yes,thanks a lot clkd,bit late in the day 

[CLKD]

Catch up jaypo, catch up ?

[Two hoots]

Sorry Jaypo, I think Cunard have delayed sailings until the spring 

[jaypo]

Yes TH got the email today  but they're just going to use our deposit and an extra 25 percent towards our next cruise in May,which almost pays for it as we've paid the deposit for Mays too,mind you Victoria's first sailing is the 16th May but hopefully by then we should be able to go and we also have Xmas and new year booked for 2021 
We're going for a week over Xmas to a 5* hotel on Skye instead 
When is your next cruise again?

[Two hoots]

Im waiting for a good offer on the Italian cruise we should have done this year and we moved our Celebrity cruise to the Canary islands to next September. Im glad you have something to look forward too in the new year, 5* very posh 

We have booked a week in Sussex in September now that France is on the quarantine list.  When I started looking for somewhere in this country I couldn’t believe the prices for a week, makes cruising seem very very good value 

[jaypo]

Haha,yes yes,that's me,posh  it's 5* but very homely,not super posh or anything,blimey they would never let me in if they were
I don't know how cruise lines can keep going,must cost them a fortune to have all their fleet just bobbing about in the water

How likely is 1 to feel the movement of the ship and feel 

We're watching Susan Calman in Norway ......... one can sail from Newcastle.  There's me, can't even visit friends for a cuppa 

[jaypo]

The big huge ships are fairly stable,it really depends how rough the seas are,Bay of Biscay can be awful but then the next time nothing,it's all down to Mother Nature,Cunard ships aren't huge so you can feel them move sometimes but you soon find your sea legs,I stuff myself with stugeron,just in case.
Off tomorrow,as long as we pass our covid test at the port that is.
I saw the Susan Calman cruise,she was ok but not nearly as good as Jane McDonald,think she's taken over from her

[CLKD]

Too much Susan as there is in many programmes these days! with the presenter talking about the scenery as they wander around with a camera showing their own faces 

Keeping everything crossed for you!

I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you get on board  I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic time, I’ve seen photos of ships with the Christmas decorations up, it looks so pretty 

[Gnatty]

Ooh I fancy a hotel on Isle of Skye! Do you mind telling me the name?

[CLKD]

The Isle of Skye is stunning.  We stayed at a cottage near Dorney on the mainland: Kilimanjaro : don't know if it's still available for renting.  4 days we travelled over the Bridge and ran out of words to describe it.  We were lucky with sunshine every day, the week after the road between the bridge and Portree was washed away
