Who the fuck wants to go on a cold boat for a holiday?


I've had some memorable boat trips up the Thames, stopping at every boozer and piracy heading towards the next lock. Thankfully the river police are rubbish.


A day on the piss is fine...


We did a fortnight, memorable moment was Gary wandering on to the boat after a sesh declaring that he was as sober as a judge, walked right across the boat and into the drink shouting 'I'm pissed as a penguin!'

Water bombs, mid river boardings and lots of chucking people overboard, jerseys as goalposts...

I think I've seen this cruise on the telly. Worryingly it's a small, very old ship, but tempted. I will look into it but prefer warner climates and a few trips to countries I have not been to. Thanks again.

Thanks for replying Dean. Not you I'm guessing. This is a sophisticated trip of a lifetime!

Not only will there be no children but there will be no Deans

Do it!

What ship please and any recommendations? Time of year of the trip and approx cost of an all inc package?

We don't want to be formal but not want to mix with chavy family times and boy/girl groups, more of a couple in their 40's type thing. Thanks.


I have no idea, but they did say that their cruise ship looked like a toy boat when docked next to one of the latest modern luxury cruise ships when in Nice harbour, so it probably wouldn't prove suitable for you.

A close friend that has been on several cruises talked about the drills on the ship. One of these drills is the abandon ship which scares me. She also added about the listing of ships when they make a sharp turn or in storms. I've always felt the ships are top heavy.

Have you been on a cruise recently, what ship you recommend, what clothing to wear on the ship, trips ashore buy before or on site, and any other tips.


As long as you're dressed properly you'll be okay. I'd recommend wearing one of these flotation suits at all times

Not bad value at £119.95 and it includes reinforced knees and a whistle.


Stupid shit.
