No wonder Rob Brydon is always banging on about how good cruises are....

Rob Brydon advertises P.&.O Cruises.   They are nothing like the ones this guy describes.   
We always laught at Rob and is "wife".  On the cruises.  Hardly anyone around, no crowds, everywhere he goes  He meets Marco Pierre White (who puts his name to the restaurants on the P.&.0).  He hob knobs with couple of  Officers just him and three other people at a cocktail party.  He and the wife sit at on deck at a table totally alone.    P.&.O Cruises we have been on in the last couple of years do not reflect Rob's holidays at all, be great if they did.

Yes I know.  It was a bit of levity, hence the   at the end...

Yes, I realised that, but we always laugh when we see Rob advertising the P.&.O Cruises and imagine first timers will think the cruise they take will be the same as Rob's.

I only said last week that having seen the advert, cruises were not for us!

I get seasick on damp grass.

Popeye's is a bit of a challenge but the Calis ferry seems fine - don't know why.

No shenanigans noticed thus far on the ferry - no sex or drugs in evidence.

You need to look harder, Stuart.

Viagra in each eyeball?

The mind (and the eyes) boggles.

Cruises are good to give you a taster of places.  On one of our first Cruises we called into Turkey and of course, the next year we came back to Turkey for a holiday and bought our place.
We have been to many places now cruising. I think St.Petersburg was one of my favourites.   Never been seasick the ships are really big and have good stabilisers.   However, the food is 24/7 so weight will be put on.
