    The Splendour is splendid

    December 1, 2015 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C

    This is day three or four, I'm not quite sure.
    But one thing I do know is that this is a great ship.
    She is a bit tired, after all she's twenty years old and being sold off to Thomsons next April.
    But she's still a beautiful ship, with very tasteful and classy decor.
    All the staff seem happy (which is quite unusual) and therefore very friendly and helpful.
    Another plus point on this cruise is as well as our usual travelling companions, Maz and Sue, we know about twelve or fifteen others in the concierge lounge, so every evening we have a great big group all sitting together.
    Apparently the Americans have nicknamed us the British wagon train circle, because that's how we end up as friends of friends join the company.
    I'm not sure if this is a nice or nasty nickname?
    But hey how, we're doing no harm to anyone and we're all enjoying ourselves.
    Besides anyone is more than welcome to join us, in fact the more the merrier.
