Off to Norway in September in Cunard QM2. First cruise, and will probably be my last, one way or another. Cruises do not appeal to me - and I am prone to seasickness, - but we had a day visit to the ship and loved the 5 star luxury and thought we would like to experience it.
As far as I am concerned I would enjoy the experience if the ship was moored up in Southampton for the week. or just circled the Isle of Wight.
We have been to across to France at least half a dozen times in the last year and the journey (via Brittany Ferries) has gone from being a hassle with tests both ends and lots of paperwork, to back to normal. We go again next week and the last COVID rule, wearing masks in public places on the ship will have gone. The journey - and stay in France - will be exactly as it was pre-CVID
