This is first and foremost safe DIY Cruising
As an alternative to cruising with P&O why not go DIY and hire the entire ship for a few days and explore or stay put near Oban, Scotland ?

Full board is a la Towny and exactly what you wish to have because you will be bringing it with you albeit you could go out for fantastic seafood meals if it suited. The bar will have what you chose to put in it and at a mere fraction of the Calamity prices. There are local venues for entertainment or you can simply sit on the boat with a large G&T and admire the scenery. Offers in Waitrose for Lindt products will afford truffles for less than a fiver for the duration.towny44 wrote: ↑09 Sep 2020, 15:26Ahh, but do they offer full board, well stocked bars, plenty of entertainment venues and do they put a choccy on my pillow after evening turn down service?Manoverboard wrote: ↑09 Sep 2020, 13:37You're exactly the sort of Deputy Captain they are looking for cos it doesn't leave Port .... perfick
What's not to like and especially for you with a short journey to Oban .... book a week before the others get onto it

Hi Mob…I can think of no one less lightly to do any nit picking with regards spelling regardless of intention…you clearly weren’t tuned in to my interpretation of your use of ‘sue-ful’..I thought you were referring to Susie the chicken?.Manoverboard wrote: ↑10 Sep 2020, 15:05Never mind the nit-picking ..... are you going to bring the eggs or notOnelife wrote: ↑10 Sep 2020, 09:29Keep those puns up and you’ll soon be up there with me and StephenManoverboard wrote: ↑10 Sep 2020, 08:16
