Normal service resumed on the price

[mroalan] 14/8/2022 15:09

Pierre, thanks for that, i,m not jabbed and was booked for a trip in May so transferred it until May23, which up to now looks ok, but we,d go tomorrow if the rules change.
We were on P&O out of Sydney on 20.2/20 on a world trip. it was a nightmare getting home no illness on board, spent aweek outside the port of Durban awaiting clearance to load food/oil, no disembarkation allowed, then back south around the Cape up to Tenerife to load oil ect at sea, six weeks at sea!

There's mass confusion over this! That page unhelpfully says 'current protocols stay in place till sep 6' owtte ...... so you have to just know the current protocol (which itself only changed about a week or two ago!) was that self declaration is acceptable and therefor no requirement for an observed test.

Of course, things could change again today or tomorrow.

google princess covid boarding requirements uk and choose the princess uk site.

It's generally but not always the case, depends on full vacs, whether you've recently had covid, where it's sailing etc etc, but most from the uk are now self declared negative, and no requirements at all after sep 5th iirc.

Pierre ,your post above "Princess now self-declaring your covid free" have you a link please? i just googled it and theres no show there, the daughter rang today saying the same but no link.

With 3/4/5k passengers, then there are bound to be plenty of oafs (exceeded massively by plenty of very convivial people).

People are selfish pigs sometimes, like hogging 10/15 apricots when they appeared in the buffet. None left for my mrs when she tracked down where they used to be. In general, we noticed a trend of groups of people setting up a mini-buffet for themselves with several people collecting mega plates of stuff and sharing those. When they left of course, probably half the food was left on the table. Seems traditional for certain nationalities, but i wish they wouldn't allow such waste.

On a different cruise, i saw a bloke with a plateful of big crayfish/mini lobster things or similar, so headed for where he had just been to grab some myself. What i found was a very big paella which had just been placed there and fully complete except for the dozen crayfish on top.

Pierre

you describe beautifully why so many of us who liked cruising no longer find it so much fun. The great unwashed are even less convivial traveling companions than before.

Princess now self-declaring your covid free, joining cunard and i think p&o.

Another barrier, cost and hassle removed.

Lots of pent up demand.

Lots sailing at >100% capacity

Some bargains still around.


Where else can you experience such varied luxury for a hundred ackers a day, and be chauffeured to a different exotic place everyday?

There was a good old punch up on our last one. A bus decided to stop at the back of the queue instead of the front, where people had been waiting for an hour to gtee a seat. Those at the back simply piled on until one from the front came over and requested to let those at the front on first - to which someone replied by pushing the old codger over (quite dangerous at his age). Nevertheless, he sprang up, and landed a good punch on the offenders head and claimed his rightful place. Going up the steps, the stupid puncher decided to throw out his backside, causing many including me and my mrs and several others, to be squashed and carried backwards and those on the outside to fall over. Classy eh?

Must close above 800p or my cats will stop purring.

[the codger] 12/8/2022 07:34

Blue today again

[jan-mar] 11/8/2022 16:26

Disappointing end to the day

[the codger] 11/8/2022 15:00

We are sailing,we are sailing!

[the white house] 11/8/2022 13:39

[tradejunkie2] 11/8/2022 13:12

My kitty cats are starting to purr.

That is exciting me, but still need to see an 800p plus close.

[stansmith3] 10/8/2022 19:57

sambucayes its a shame they are getting rid of the old ships - i find them hugely preferable to the mega ships..oriana and oceana are/were excellent, have an upcoming trip on aurora soon....never been on arcadia, that is on the list...

[sambuca] 10/8/2022 19:29

We liked the Oriana but she was struggling, we did back to back cruises in Feb 2018 I think it was up to the top of Norway for the northern lights and then down to the Canaries. The heating packed up in Norway and the Jacuzzi at the back on deck 8 didnt work for the whole 26 nights. We chose our cabin right at the back on deck 8 with the intention of nipping out to the jacuzzi and then 20 seconds after leaving it being in a hot shower in the cabin, but it wasnt to be.

US short interest reduced from 14.46% to 10.82%.

[tradejunkie2] 10/8/2022 17:50

Evening Kitty cats,

We're at the top of the upper trend line.

If we don't break this Thursday we're going back down again.

Need 800p to convince the recovery is in play.

Junkie out.

@Sanks, keep dreaming.

[smurfy2001] 10/8/2022 15:14

Lower CPI in the states a bit of a relief down to lower fuel prices. Good for Carnival.

[onehanded] 10/8/2022 14:54

yup if it breaks the £8 could easily gap to £10 quickly. Shorts want out lol.

[sanks elsworth] 10/8/2022 14:27

Looking at that £18.30 level 4 target

[onehanded] 10/8/2022 13:56

14% shorts starting to close, could well spike to £8 very quickly.

Pierre .... indeed ....am showing my age as have also been on the SS Oriana (built in Barrow, with P&O 1986) - but don't remember much of it.
Also been on the SS Canberra (built in Belfast, with P&O until 1997)
Those were the days - every passenger vessel a different design
