[Dierdre]

Off to Jordan in Jan  . Not quite Colombia (last year's plan put on hold because OH had a new hip) but still lots to see - Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea, Jeresh. Flying back from Sharm el Sheikh.

I'd love to do something different like that but wouldn't dare on my own. Have a great time.

Come and join me, I'm on my own  . OH doesn't want to travel so I either go on my own or not at all.

I do Europe on my own but never ventured further. Lanzarote is like my second home and I have family there so go there alot. Thought about doing cruises to see more of the world but you usually only get to stay a day and then off to the next port of call.

Dierdre there are a lot of solo passengers on cruises,so you'd not be alone,depending on the cruise,you sometimes stay over for two nights or at least one full day,it's a wonderful way to see places you'd never normally go to,especially Norway,Iceland etc

Do you have to dress up for dinner? That's the thing that puts me off. Are there other eating places on board where you don't have to glam up every night? I'm tempted to do a northern lights one next year.

Depends what ship you go on penguin,we like Cunard but it is usually "smart attire" then gala nights are posh frocks but other ships are less strict,just casual,like P&O etc you can dress up if you want but no strict dress codes,even on Cunard,if you don't want to dress up,then you can eat in the lido restaurant which has no dress code. Is it Norway you were thinking of?

Yes, Norway, I've wanted to go to the fjords for years! I like the idea of the Lido restaurant, I didn't realise that was an option. I am so not into dressing up these days, although perhaps I would feel better if I did 🤷‍♂️

Lido + swimming pool = nudity 

[jaypo]

Norway is stunning,you really should try and go,first time we went there, when I opened the curtains in the morning,I was reduced to tears,I'd never seen scenery so beautiful in my life before......GGGGOOOOOOOO lol

Hey hey,no nudity clkd,you'd have to be careful not to spill your tea

It does sound ideal, my son and wife ask me to go this year with them but i dont fancy the small inner cabins for singles, do they do the ones with balconies for single rooms?

[CLKD]

MayB look at family suites Deirdre with an interconnecting door?

[jaypo]

Oh don't do inside cabins,especially for the fjords,I'm sure some lines will do single balconies,off on our cruise tomorrow,can't wait 😁

[Dierdre]

Wrap up warm when you get to Lanzarote, been raining and cold since I got here yesterday! Hopefully sunny tomorrow and rest of week but temperatures lower than usual.

[jaypo]
