There’s no smelly farty people in business class darling 

[getting_old]

DH thought that he would be bored on a Cruise  and I would worry too much !  Flying - why would any1 want to be trapped in a Smartie Tube with 100s of other smelly, farty people    .  I can't do trains or coach trips either or we would have been to Lugano by now   

Gorgeos scenery certainly jaypo although I read it as "oldham" 

Why not drive to Italy? You have a camper so don't even need to worry about hotels.

I call aeroplanes ‘silvery tubes of horror.’

getting_old - if I thought that my anxiety wouldn't rear it's Ugly Head:: but we are at an age where driving on the wrong side etc..  We would be OK once we got there, when we would have a hotel.  Hotels are less personal than B&B.

Oh we can afford Business Class can we  .  I don't think that even paying 1st Class would help my nerves.  Being shut in. Perhaps people being ill or getting arsey .......  valium mayB as I don't drink ?

I once asked, not so long back, for a one off valium to fly but Gp said they don't give it out for flying anymore, said it's to do with being immobile for so long?
not sure how that risk differs as everyone is asleep on a night flight back from America, but I suppose they have to minimise the risk as much as possible .

so, I go with noise cancelling headphones, a window seat with no-one behind, or bit more space in Premium,  and enough entertainment to totally distract me for as long as possible. A couple of mini size free white wines onboard helps too. I grin and bear it best I can

I don’t fly either,hence cruising from Southampton. Actually sitting looking at the most gorgeous scenery from the ship right now,lovely day in Olden 

Oooh lovely!
We've cruised one time from Southampton, round the Med.
Would do it more for sure except we are in Scotland so it was a heck of a trek!


we've never done Scandinavia before, it's on our to-do list. We've done ooooh  15+  cruises since we started in 2017 and we have 3 more booked!

We LOVE cruising!

Which company are you cruising with?

We go with Cunard always,we’re in Scotland too but come down the night before and stay in a hotel

We did that too, the 'kids' wanted to drive down or we would have flown!

Oh lovely, Cunard, not been with them but have been with lots of others - Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Norwegian, going on Princess next so see what that's like!  We are not loyal to any one company, we see an itinerary we like and we will give it a go   We do like Celebrity though I must admit

Enjoy the rest of your cruise! Hope the weather is nice for you!  I'm jealous!
