Saw them last night as he is over for a check up. Liz said I should drop you a message on here. <br />Friends of mine are on board Arcadia doing the whole trip. They are called Debbie and Tony Baird. They are dear friends if you come across them please say Avril and Peter are missing them and hope they are having a ball.

I am hoping with Azura they actually have a ship that us traditionalists are going to love and enjoy being part of the P &amp; O fleet! After all there are plenty of different ships to cater to all different tastes. I hope to try her out, but not sure it will be this year. I think you have to give a new ship a good year to settle down. After all there are very rare bad reviews about Ventura nowadays. We did go on her in the first year and I think that was one of the mistakes we made (along with going in August when there were about 600 children and young teens onboard). <br /><br />I am of course going on Azura James for the naming ceremony for which I feel rather privileged. <br /><br />Looking forward to the next instalment which will hopefully show us Brisbane and Yorkey&#39;s Knob - Can&#39;t help sniggering to myself like a young teenage girl being taught sex education at school when you say Yorkey&#39;s Knob - Lol - Just my sense of humour I guess :-) Nod and a wink!!<br /><br />Elaine (aurorabore)Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03609506306131956875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-79859928261735057892010-03-01T13:41:42.029Z2010-03-01T13:41:42.029ZDes O&#39;Connor - you can hardly forget him (love him really).<br /><br />Azura I hope they mean what they say as they have made quite a lot about the fact that it is more traditional and that there is going to be ballroom dancing on board in the Atrium. On the Ventura they said they would have salsa in Havana - well that never happened. The only time they had salsa was in The Tamarind Club.<br /><br />GillGillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-64421561154997899582010-03-01T12:25:29.048Z2010-03-01T12:25:29.048ZAzura sounds interesting.
