I Found Steve’s Holiday

Steve, of Mexpatriate fame, likes his cruises. Which is unfortunate because cruising is not likely to be a viable holiday plan for a while. When it is, I suspect things will have changed. For the better or worse? Perhaps he’ll prefer more spacious, less crowded liners. Table service will be the name of the game. Perhaps an increase in luxury and service will be the hook to get cruiserists back on board. Whether or not the captain is brave enough to allow the hoi  polloi  anywhere near his table is questionable. 

We’ll have to wait for Steve’s verdict at some point in the future. I’m pretty sure he’ll be game for a cruise when bookings resume. He possibly has once of the infamous ‘vouchers’ that travel companies have used to replace the more traditional cash refund.

I sent a photo of the collection of BA and Virgin jets that took over Bournemouth airport to a friend at the end of the railway line. In a game a Covidian Poker, he saw my jet collection and raised me six cruise liners that are currently sitting in the bay at Weymouth. Now, whether or not Steve was due on, or has ever travelled on, one of these particular ships I do not know. My headline was pure tabloid quality click bait.  Speculation dressed as certainty.

But for the record, the liners are, from left to right: P&O Ventura, Cunard’s Queen Victoria, P&O Aurora, Queen Mary II, P&O Arcadia and P&O Acura.
