Off on the Queen Anne maiden on Friday. Pretty excited about it.

There's a press evening tonight on it, a number of Youtube videos are up already so watching these.

Only annoying thing is it looks like they no longer serve curry in the pub at lunch, and the burger is now $11 as a chargeable item (on the QV/QE it's included) following Michel Roux's reworking of the menu.
Oh I'm jealous! Enjoy and tell us about it please biggrin

Mrs BC and I are on Seabourn Venture sailing around the UK in just over a week. Great itinerary for us.

start in Greenwich and finish in Edinburgh, surely a bit of a PiTA getting back home?

Any car parking recommendations for P&O Southampton leaving 29/6/24
We don’t have the terminal as yet but probably not a train smash
CPS would get my vote. Used them before. They park your car in secure parking. You just pull up to the cruise terminal.

This ^^^ both times on P&O it's been included, albeit at a reduction in OBS (seems to be way cheaper doing it like that). You park literally next to the ship and they repark about 100m away in secure(ish) compound

We always have a table for two, basically I am antisocial, but the tables are so close together we usually end up chatting with like minded people as they have also chosen a table for two also, the way I look at it is like speed dating for conversations,with a limited time period, most times are good unless they want to talk about football, which I have no interest in, I also enjoy the mix of people (especially on P&O)
This is me too - for some reason however people always seem to start talking to me (and not just in the restaurant)
