Gaffer keeps on about a cruise but not for me as much as I would love to see different places

3 years since i have not had the birds, staying at home 365 days a year for many years. I have learnt to fly myself, so I am going to make the most of what life I have left,
That is what we are doing mate, hope you have a long and happy one

I hope you'll love the cruise
Wife and I are booked on 2 cruises this year - 1 to Caribbean and 1 to the Fjords
Done both before but we love it
Spent over 200 nights at sea so far - these 2 will add another 29 nights to the total

They're outstanding value for money Neil
I'll be retired in about 3 years. I'm 55 in April and "could" take my STW pension in April but there's a few financial penalties to consider if I take it early. At 60 it's a no brainer I'm gone - but I might go before then anyway
One thing certainly happening will be I'm gonna bugger off on one of these long cruises.
We'll start with a 30 nighter USA/Canada
After that i'd like one of these 100 night jobbies

Whilst I'm working time is a stumbling block, but it's certainly something I'll be doing
The Olympic Games in Brisbane in 2032 is also on the radar
Are you going with P & O Worm? I've been with Royal Caribbean once, but all the others with P & O.
I think i've been on every ship in their fleet now
You can't fault the food on P & O. It's exceptional
