Help! I'm trying to make my mind up. Do I go on the Victoria to the canaries, or Elizabeth in the med?
The vic is 16 days and will be warmer than the med! The QE is 18 days, wont be as warm and is obviously more expensive. I aim to go grill class, both go from Southampton and I can't decide[confused. Any (sensible) ideas?

I would definitely choose the Canaries -lovely weather at that time of year.

glammanana Mon 14-May-12 18:39:37

I'll just lower the tone a wee bit as I'm off over The Mersey on the Ferry that day for a get together with pals at The Albert Dock,I will be travelling over using my pensioners pass so the travel is free grin

I'll be in Italy on June 5th, but I'll send you a virtual wave from there!

jeni Mon 14-May-12 16:54:28

5june qM2 is setting sail down the Solent with the QE and the QV.
I'm on board the QM watch out for crutches with fairy lights and a regal wave!grin

Notsogrand Mon 14-May-12 16:22:15

Let me know the date you're setting off jeni.... I'll wave you off from the prom at Hythe. It's just down the road from me and looks across the water to Southampton docks. We always know when the liners are setting off by the ship's hooters....usually 5pm on the dot!

Harrigran - a friend used to build aeroplanes and would never fly - do they know something we dont!!

harrigran Sun 13-May-12 22:49:35

Don't ask me, DH designed and built ships and would not set foot on a cruise liner.

Never been on a cruise, and hubby won`t go abroad anymore, but we are considering a cruise around the Highlands and Islands of Scotland for next year. Has anyone done this, if so, is it to be recommended?

You are Queen of Gransnet, jeni!

jeni Sun 13-May-12 21:30:58

The grill classes are the two best class's on board. I travel princess, queen is better but out of my price range. Google Cunard, go to accommodation look for princess grill!

Jacey Sun 13-May-12 21:27:06

Jeni what is grill class? My imagination went inot over-drive!! grin

Very very jealous now.
No balmy weather, no lovely frocks, no six course meals ( although the food will be good I'm sure )
All being well I will be on this ship next week. Bought the trip for husband for X-mas.
What ever made me do that??
She is sailing from the West Coast, mostly the Irish sea I suppose. The sea sick pills are packed already!
Please think of me.

Fireworks on new years eve in Madeira, weren't nearly as good last year as the one before! The credit crunch biting I suppose!
