Max will be making an impromptu trip to Southampton this Friday afternoon with the intention of picking up fish and chips nearby and then parking up at Calshot Beach. The reason for this is 2 of the latest cruise ships - Cunard's new Queen Elizabeth and P&O's Azura - are due to leave Southampton at 1630hrs according to the schedules and they will sail right past Calshot Beach shortly after. The car park on the penisular of Calshot Beach means the ships will fill a BraziBay's windscreen - they're that close!

Anyone else wanting to join in - you're very welcome. Bring your camera!

Here's the location:

Calshot Beach

Great pic! Ive been on a cruise and would never do it again! Trapped on board with bad food and certain types of guests you would not want to spend time with (kids getting drunk and running around all day and night, adults wearing shorts and fip flops to black tie dinners, staff being abused but did nothing about any of it etc) P+O and my wife met in court and they lost...only a part refund but better than nothing and a lesson learnt :-)

Oh dear - sounds unfortunate Jason.

I've been on a number of cruises and enjoyed every one. A lot of it comes down to the line you're sailing with and the route you take. Always worth checking a cruise review site before booking - one ship can be entirely different to another on the same cruise line.

Very true...An aunt of mine died and left us £10,000 for a carribean cruise and the ship was meant to be fab but was at the end of its life (due a re fit) which we didnt know until we were on it! We later found out that even though we paid top wack others on there had paid as little as £500 (they were going to Magaluf one chap said until he found a cruise for the same price!) just to fill seats/cabins that were empty.....Captain didnt care and the agent didnt either....Cabin had electrics hanging out the walls, paint all over the floor, ripped bed sheets, my son cut his hand open on sharp wire hanging out the swimming pool, football playing on the TV screens all day at top volume etc etc...and our cabin was totally the wrong size to what we booked. We spent a day complaining and filling in paperwork only to be told that the boat was now full so they couldnt move us! They then offered £100 off another cruise to say sorry! We did do another cruise a few years before that again with Princess cruises (P+O) and that was great so if anyones thinking of it - do your homework on the ship and how much they sell seats for last minute and to what type of client base...Take Tim's advice....

Sorry we couldn't make it but it was a 250 mile 5hr round trip. We too went on a Caribbean cruise with NCL 15 years ago, excellent, except when my wayward 15 year old went missing at midnight. Full ship search instigated, then a passenger said they had heard a splash earlier! Whole ship woken by tannoy to every cabin, ship turned round for 5 miles with searchlights scanning the sea, then he was found asleep under a stairwell. Still the upside was that I got to see the bridge when he was summoned for a bit of advice by the captain in the morning. Luckily he saw the funny side, and said he would put it in the log as a 'man overboard exercise' so I wouldn't have to pay for the fuel used. Kids! Embarassed

That's a great story dizzy.

My dad and I did an NCL cruise up to the Alaskan glacier fields a few years back. On one of the stops a couple missed the ship sailing so the captain dropped one of the rapid lifeboats as we headed down route in order to bring them back to the ship. As the speed boat approached the ship EVERYONE on deck moved to look over the side where the couple were going to board. They were so embarrassed they covered themselves with blankets - to raptureous applause from everyone on deck.

I know how they felt, luckily the passengers saw the funny side as well. The whole trip was full of incidents, too lengthy for the forum. Perhaps next summer round the campfire between Kum-ba-ya and the incredible Fiery Balls. Smile Smile
