Errr.... what has this close encounter prop to do with being a Godess?

It's Artemis - the European satellite.

Not been on Artemis. Been on the World Cruise this year with Aurora and on
her again for a month later this year. On Arcadia in March next year. (Fly
out to Barbados and cruise back to Southampton after a few stops :-))))

But the word 'Artemis' means cruising :-))))

I can't believe that. I was on it the same day then. Absolutely full of
chavs, it was!

NOOOooo. I mean, you on it too? We were there on the 16th back from
Bilbao (we find it quicker to go 'home' to Bordeaux). True about the
chavs though, but we kept going to the 'superior restaurant' from
breakfast to supper. Did you venture into the 'cabaret' bit? We thought
it would be something to do since we didn't go there last year - the
kids didn't want to go but still, we sat and had a drink. When the
raffle started to support the 'dolphin society' on board, we sent my
youngest, Jonah, to get a ticket for a quid and we won!!! Jonah had to
go and get the price. The 'wales chap' asked Jonah's name .... you
guessed it, general uproar!!

We won a cruise. Yeah right ... to be taken before December, 4 berths
no windows, from Hull to Zeebruge ... who are they kidding?!

We were there on the 16th! And indeed in the Langan's Brasserie of which you
speak? We were the noisy ones in the corner, with the giggling girl dressed
in black, although I hastily add she's nothing to do with me.

I ventured into the "entertainment", which was truly dire.

Small world, eh?

Yes! We celebrated my birthday there - here ....

My youngest took shots of the mirror ceiling. Maybe you're on there
with the black dress lady ... Just leave £20K in a brown bag by the
letter box and I'll release the negative ;o)

Totally. We've taken the trip a few times and never went until this
year. We're not really keen on this kind of entertainment. But it was
my birthday ...

Small world, eh?

You're telling me!

Temporarily unavailable as it says.

Obviously they can't cope with such a sudden rush of cancellations.
