It's nice isn't it. It's not one I'd do again. On princess a d Cunard you can request the number on a table including 2! I prefer 6-8 as I quite enjoy meeting new people for a short time.

I must admit I don't fancy big cruises (though love small river ones) as I find the sharing a table really spoils my holiday. It seems to me that when you get to the granny stage in life the two main topics of conversation among people who have just met are ailments and the doings of children and grandchildren. I don't assume people are interested in my ailments or my grandchildren so would rather sit and eat with OH and chat about things that interest us. It must be very difficult celebgran when everyone is discussing grandchildren. It is difficult to discuss things close to your heart with people you have met on a superficial basis and will probably never meet again. flowers Glad you enjoyed the cruise though.

Hi all well we enjoyed the destinations. Not sure about such large ships and omg put on 9lb so cross, lost 3 already but oh dear!
Always good get home I think!
We had too early meal slot really but were nice people on table.

Trouble is for 12 days when it turned to grand kids talk I told truth about our estrangement so that is kind of depressing.

One couple were lovely other ones bit more tactless but that's how it is.
Better to keep quiet but I am not ashamed of it and won't lie.

We loved Faroe isles Iceland ok but geiranger in Norway was stunning may try upload some pics!
