Anybody Been On A Cruise ?

[Bill Walker]

Did the Disney dream a few weeks back from Florida to the Bahamas.
Wasn't prepared for the amount of children at meal times.
Although Nassau and castaway cay beaches were amazing,watching the sunset on the balcony and the dramatic weather changes were breathtaking,I would next time do a more relaxing one where my kids weren't running around chasing Disney princesses all day!!!!!

wasnt the name Disney a bit of a giveaway ?

I went on the stamford belle once

Took a rowing boat out on Heaton Park once.

I am allergic to cruises. I just know I am. Never been on one but I suspect that on disembarkation I would be arrested for murdering a Rag, Dipper, Arse, Spuds fan who just happened to say the wrong thing and I had a carving knife in my hand at the time!

I think you'll enjoy Fjordland.

I visited Dusky Sound and Doubtful Sound many years ago, it was truly spectacular. They are difficult to get to other than by boat, especially Dusky Sound (I hiked it and it took 3 days there and 3 days back)

Haha yes of course I had a vague idea of what to expect but to be able to get the amount of children on board they did was mind boggling!!
Had the luxury of going back to international drive afterwards for a bit of peace and theme parks :-(

We did a Western Med one last year on Norwegian Epic, absolutely the best holiday i've ever been on, waking up in a different country every day, and if you plan beforehand you have plenty of time to see and do everything you want.

Food was incredible and I think there were 15 different restraunts in total, some you had to pay an extra for but well worth it (Tepanyaki etc).

The ship also had loads of different bars, clubs, theatre, ice bar, casino etc so you never felt bored, saying that, when you have spent all day in Rome then got back on and gone for dinner, most nights we were bollocksed!

Also with NCL it is classed as free style dining so you don't ave formal nights, in the A'la Carte restraunts you can just wear a pair of jeans and a shirt etc which I liked as I didn't have to make any more effort than I normally would going out for a meal.

Met some great people as well, we are in our late 20's but met a few couples from all over (Brisbane, Texas etc) who we keep in touch with still.

wonder if a trip round the island on the Archie Littlemoore counts?

Must've been the ginger pubes that flicked his switch :-)
