    I've booked a cruise!!!

    I'm so excited. It's not until next year though. We're doing a 7 day cruise from Brisbane to Vanuatu.

    Has anyone been on a P&O cruise before?

    How much spending money do you think we'd need for the 5 of us?

    I've been on a cruise before Tinks. Only late last year too!

    Expect to gain at least 5 kilos! Eat some cake for me too Oh you are so going to enjoy it. I'm jealous hun.

    I'll give you some tips if you like.

    DH and i went for 12 nights and we spent wait for it...... $3000 onboard! Most of it was alcohol though! Oh the margheritas mmmmmmmmmmm..... the cakes, oh yeah i mentioned the cakes didn't i ? You have to try a strawberry margherita.

    Lucky girl you....

    we were thinking of going on one next year too... the only issue... that our baby girl will be two and hopefully toilet trained, but if they are not totally they are not allowed in the pool on board. So we were looking at ones that have a stop almost every day on an island - just the first two days there and back without stopping (sydney to vanuatu or somewhere like that).
    Now we are also looking at heading north to cairns instead... waying up costs to see what is going to be better...??
    have a wonderful time

    I've just been informed by DH I actually booked the Cairns one I got the numbers wrong. It was the same price as the Vanuatu one though. Not to worry, a cruise is a cruise lol. Now I don't have to get passports for us all.

    hey smiles we can share a room.

    That would be so fun.

    Cute bartenders too.... eye candy. Eye candy for DH too. Remember to gauge (sp??) his eyes out before boarding Or warn him of the repurcussions (sp??)

    LOL

    I'll lend you mine which is collapsible. It'll fit in your beach bag

    or a fruit baller scoop thingy for his eyes. At least you won't get mess in your fingernails

    PMSL too.

    All Tinks would need to do is point to her handbag when she catches DH drooling.

    Awesome...that is extremely exciting news!!!!

    I went on that exact cruise in February this year we had an absolute ball, the cabin was great,the service was great, the entertainment was awesome (so much to choose from), the bingo paid huge amounts of cash in prizes, everything about it was great. We meet so many wonderful people and really had a great holiday...just like you will.

    Enjoy!!!!
