    Thank you all the responses are very overwelming, thank you all for your time :o
    We both work full time and enjoy the nice things in life. I know im very fortunate and bless that I can have my beautiful home, horse and holidays. Going away just doesnt really do it for me but actually reading up on the cruise (not gay .. that would be absolute torture!!) I'm actually, dare I say it, looking forward to it ... no i think thats too strong but lets just say Im getting used to the idea of it and I like the idea of waking up and being able to see a different country and culture nearly every day. I guess we wont be bored thats for sure :)

    Don't forget eating and drinking yourself into a frenzy!

    Cool, good for you, and remember - if planning a holiday is half the fun, just stay at home and plan two holidays!

    Please tell me you're going on a Viking River Cruise. Having seen 392 adverts for them on ITV3, I am desperate to find out what they're actually like :rotfl:

    Not only do I have to suffer the adverts, they've somehow got my address and keep sending me brochures. :eek:

    We know a couple who go on cruise holidays a lot and love it.

    They did a VRC (can't remember where they went) and they said it was the worst holiday they've ever had.

    That advert is stuck in my brain. I feel I need some form of hypnosis to remove it! I would never go on one of their ruddy cruises as I don't want to encourage them!

    I used to work in travel and for a while specialized in cruising holidays and putting other things together with a cruise . For example for you and your partner I'd have suggested something like a Caribbean cruise then a ranch style holiday or something equally horsy like certain hotels/working horse places in Kentucky . The thing I used to find was that often the most reluctant cruiser is blown away and finds their expectations were all wrong and come back a real cruise convert .

    Sorry but it does sound that way. It doesn't really sound normal not to want to eat in restaurants or other peoples houses! What is it about that you don't like? But then how come you'd go in a mc Donald's? As that seems like an odd choice when you could go in a restaurant & get something that you could much more likely tell exactly what was in it! ;)

    I can't imagine not going in pubs or restaurants for meals.

    You could cook your own non spicy stuff.

    I do cook my own non spicy stuff.
    And as for restaurants, I've worked in the catering trade and I know what sometimes goes on!
    Other peoples houses? Depends on the person really.
