My husband went to one of the talks they had about navigation and according to one of the men, these ships are real workhorses and so big they can plough through a cyclone if they had to... but with modern navigation they usually avoid too rough weather because the passengers can't stand up to it as well as the ships can.Bushmermaid wrote:Great photos and some lovely scenery but the cruise thing just doesn't do it for me.......I keep seeing Leo and Kate going down with the Titanic.

I know how you feel, I am back to reality tomorrow, too!
you may think differently in another 20 years or so bushy, adventure before dementia and all thatGreat photos and some lovely scenery but the cruise thing just doesn't do it for me.......
So very true, and my sentiments exactly....I had no idea about the floating oasis that could be so much fun and adventure for the kids......I also noted that many family groups went together, not exactly in each other's way either...so you could be together if you wished, or independant.....and the kids in the pool were having an absolute ball....with the American Grill bar next to it with all the burgers and hotdogs and chips they could eat (all inclusive in the cruise deal)....no kids whinging about being hungry to the parents...what a treat that must beI'm sorry now I never even thought of cruising when the kids were younger as there are special cheap fares for them plus there are clubs for them on board, in different age groups, where they can make friends, do fun activities if they wish etc. The trick i think with kids is to pick an appropriate cruise-one that is in school holidays and likely to have lots of other families on board.
The sad thing with all the food pics danet is showing is that really, after eating a cooked breakfast, a decent lunch and a 4 course dinner, you just don't have any more room for a buffet extravaganza, no matter how tempting.

I will keep that in mind....all these wonderful places I had never had much inklings about, and now I love to go back to.If you like that slower lifestyle and more laidback way of doing things, then you may fancy a trip to Malaysia some time.
It's hot and humid all yer round, but don't let that put you off as there's plenty to see and do.
Gnads the Fair Star wasn't a P & O ship it was one of the Sitmar fleet which was an Italian line. I came over from the UK on the Fairsea and went back on either the Fair Star or Fair Sky (can't remember which).gnads wrote:Great photos sherri & danet.
Now ladies I went on a cruise to Noumea in 1976... (I was 20) ....aboard one of those jinxed P&O ships the Fair Star.
The only thing our cruise had in common with yours was that it was a mummy & daddy with the kids cruise .... bliddy slack.
Mr. Smith you just edited your message. I was going to tell you P & O bought out Sitmar in 1988.baldy.smith wrote:P & O bought Sitmar out in 1988.
Fairview, Fairstar, Fairsky, Fairsea were just o few of their ships names.
