Pad - that must of been amazing , recently at Easter time myself and Mrs topo went to Belfast and the cranes were amazing and the city of Belfast was also amazing and just to top it off we were sat in coffee shop and Micheal can gerwin was there so all in all a lovely long weekend !

Just to let you all know, my parents are on Ventura now, due back this weekend they are texting Mrs topo each day and they have advised they are not aware of any issues and everything is open as usual. As usual the news make things ever so worse with all the hype !

Running into June it is very disappointing indeed, everything seems to align apart from the Debt , very uncertain indeed at present.

Agreed absolutely unreal, this is GWMO all over year on year !!

Mum and dad joined Ventura yesterday in Southampton, 3 hours late boarding due to norovirus , mum said ship in a state she’s never seen before they were very disappointed indeed. They have a suite but she said never again on P&O which is such a shame ! Not sure if cut backs are causing this on board P&O ships but they need to up there game !

I’ve read through the comments , moon is not always right nor are any of us but bullying is the lowest form , from the comments it would seem a few are bullying all comments are valid but no need for bullying just saying

Where's the permit ? Unbelievable and that's a fact !

Better - My take on it for what its worth the middle east will not go to full blown war as if it did the WW3 would begin and Russia does not want that nor do China they know it will be a long drawn out 15 year + war. The cruise ship destinations have become smaller but still there is scope for new destinations and China are really pushing there cruise industry. The parallels do not add up for a WW3 of major conflict the the middle east but that's just my take.

Thanks bhants apologies if I seemed intrusive but thanks for your honesty. And well done to you for doing that not something i could do I don't think !

Bhants - Is it still difficult when taking a ceremony even though you must be used to it ? I always find it quite sad to deal with that even to people we are not close to. every time we are away we always make time to visit the churches etc to say a prayer. Very peaceful and feel right every time !

Ken - HAHA that's funny, ok ill look after it if i can get 5 mins off these bleeding roofs ! Mrs Topo panicking as we have cruises/holidays booked and no room for works soon !

Ken - When I retire if ever I would like to do volunteer work like cutting the grave yard grass etc, we recently visited several places around the country unfortunately visiting graves and laying flowers as we do a few times a year and all of the grass in the grave yards seem unkept.

I love visiting Scotland last place we were in was Orkney and recently we were in Belfast and it reminded me a lot of a few places in Scotland, lets be honest the Scottish rugby team have whipped us the last few times !!

Hi Ken & bhants and all

Yes Horlicks at 7pm haha that's about right for me I'm definitely not a party person but enjoy the peace probably why I like the smaller ships just like bhants haha.

Bhants - Yes we have thought about the bigger ships and undoubtedly one day we will try them , we have a few booked now with Cunard but do enjoy P&O also.

Now then Ken !! That will be sad when / if they get ride of the smaller ships !! I much prefer the smaller ships myself, haven't done the larger ones yet so cant give comment but I no you said you quite like the larger ones.

Off to Nevada in September and we will attempt to find the GWMO operations we are travelling round for a few days around the mountain ranges then back to Las Vegas, if I find the GWMO ill ask them where the fcuk the permit is !

My gut feeling is any sniff of stabilisation in the middle east this will jump so I was willing to sell out this morning but I'm holding for now but not adding any further, im probably wrong and it will keep dropping but ill take that risk on this one.

Normally I would be jumping at the opportunity to buy in again at this level but something is telling me don't do it !!

I see a travel warning for Egypt & Morocco has just been announced by the UK Gov, another warning shot for CCL who cruises down the Atlantic and stopping along the Moroccan coast it would seem going west will be favourable. I think the SP will recover to a point but with heightened tensions and oil rising could be a while.
