As the captain said on our last cruise with the rough sea, hope they fill in the pot holes in the sea first
Will be tiring but oh what a trip of a life time. Would have liked it to be longer but at £4,000 more for 21 days for the 2 of us is just a bit too much to pay what with the booking of the tours to be announced late on to add on
Once one has the travel bug it kinda gets inside you.
i have to say at the outset originally i flatly refused to go on any cruise. NO WAY would you get me on one of those ships.
Talking to other people I realised what i might be missing, out at sea? again but no way, river cruise? erm thought it was a good tryout and the shore was close by.
So decided to have a go at the River Nile and really enjoyed it.
Great party atmosphere on board with fellow guests.
in case you ask he was a Nubian
OOH this cruising isn't a bad as I thought. So these are the cruises so far. not including trips to Spain -Brittany-- Brazil (several times) -Argentina- China - Tunisia etc
So it was doing the med cruise twice- the caribbean-the baltic - the Fjords and now Japan.

Well, I'm not a party animal. So that aspect of being on a cruise wouldn't float my boat - no pun intended....
