Hi all. I’m Bill, known to my family as Bad Hair Bill. I live in Oxfordshire with my wife Calli and our twin teenage sons Paul and Mark. The boys are responsible for my nickname... :crazy:

We’ve been cruising since the boys were quite small, and have tried several cruise lines, including Cunard, P&O, Fred, MSC, Celebrity and NCL.
Hoping that this is a friendly site!

Hi Bill and welcome to this forum

You'll find the folks on here a pretty friendly bunch and very knowledgable about all things cruise related.

If you have a question, someone will know the answer.

And if you like a debate about any given subject, this is the place for you.

I usually chuck my tuppence in on anything football related.
This is because I know more about football than anybody who has ever lived :moresarcasm:
Can't believe I wasn't considered for the Man. Utd job ???????

Greetings Bill, and a very warm welcome aboard our friendly boards

Thanks to David who has worked so hard to launch this site, after the demise of the official P&O site floundered and sank

But didn't she say 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco' which is why your accent has a bit of an American twang about it :lol:

thanks everyone. Just to let you know I rarely go on sites like these, so don't expect too many postings. I'm more likely to just 'look'.

And Barney: I can't stand soccer - I'm a cricket player and rugby (union) fan.
