I think that rubble in the left hand corner of the dock is where Sarah Breton was trying to do a 3-point turn !!

You should be careful. She may chuck you in the brig.

Tours booklet and labels arrived today, exactly 8 weeks before departure on Adonia. They seem to be getting these out earlier and earlier.

Life on board will be even better if all the pillocks who believe that claptrap on Channel 4 back out and never cruise again !

You do know that some P&O Captains look at this forum! I know because one of them referred to a posting I had made - luckily it was praising the staff.

An earlier post cast some doubt on the seamanship of Sarah Breton. I would like to say that she is one of the better Captains and most approachable that we have sailed with although I did overhear one gentleman while we were docked in Tallin saying that he slept wearing his life Jacket! I'm sorry that she is not on my next cruise on 25th August to the Med.
I agree, Colin. She is the butt of a few jokes and, unlike you, we have found her customer relations prowess leaves a bit to be desired but there is no doubt she is an excellent Captain. I am pleased she will be in charge on our forthcoming July sojourn
Oh, ye of little faith !

That's something you won't have to worry about - we have Simon Love as the driver :clap: :thumbup: :D

Maybe she got 12 points on her licence?
