I went to Wilko on Friday and not a single seed packet in sight, anywhere plenty of spring bulbs and garlic but no seeds

No, not yet, but find it really hard to book that far in advance.


Aww bless her.
Not a good introduction.

I just didn't think you would feel so much motion on such a big vessel. Hoping she can claim Dr visits on travel insurance, £70 each time!:eek:

Iona is just doing 7 day Norway ffjord cruises - same itinery over and over - starting in Stavanger and ending in Bergen with 2 other ports inbetween ... with so many cabins there might be last minite deals to be had - the maiden cruise is 9 days but the ports are the same so it must have 2 extra sea days.
2020 - I cant think that far ahead either.

Well thats a bit daft of them using the same itinerary over and over again. Im jjust looking at their shares, as wanted to buy 10 years ago when I first started cruising, but could not afford them, shame as they have over doubled in price now But to be fair, what you have just said does not fill me with too much confidence going forward.

I dont think you can, but it was probably a visual effect.

Dd just disembarked from the Ventura at Southampton after her first cruise. She was so sea sick she had to call the emergency Dr's twice, have injections, tablets and anti sickness wrist bands!:eek: I didn't think you would get that sea sick on such a big ship when it was calm the whole time. She missed half the meals and spent a lot of time in bed. Guess it will be her last cruise.:rotfl:

This would be me also and is the reason I would never, ever go on a cruise.
I have been sick on a flat bottomed boat that was on a river like a millpond :eek: :cool:

Afternoon all
TM hubby had that for about 3 yrs tried everything ........well apart from wearing heels:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: but it has since cured itself:T:T

Josie sorry your dd had an horrible experience but when hubby was bad in Gibraltar in June we had to have the doctor was £75 plus prescriptions and all the dressings we had to buy but the excess on the insurance wiped it out, so just had to suck it up:(

It's funny, I'm the opposite. Went on a channel crossing once, rough as hell, I was the only one eating breakfast so managed quite a big one :rotfl::rotfl:

Been 10 miles out in the English Channel on a 20ft mackeral fisher, thoroughly enjoyed it

I just love being on the sea, would love to get a sea captain's licence but don't see that happening in the near future.
