Hello Bentlegs, owd pal. I am so sorry to hear you're having heart problems. If you need medical help then please let them take you off the ship to get the help you need in Lisbon. Don't have the stress of waiting for transport - a flight, ambulance, hospital. You don't need that. I know you want to get home, but please wait until you're strong enough to travel again. Take care lad.

Drink plenty water and don't stop shouting for "Roy Darbyshire" as that's good exercise for your lungs!

So sorry to hear your problem,pretty worrying.
We got back today. We left a woman in Gibralter she fell and had a bad knee and hurt her head.
Then a few hours later we had to call back inCadiz to drop 2 very poorly ladies off but I never heard what was wrong with them ,quite a few people on the ship taking videos and photos.awful thing to do.it happens quite a lot..the Arcadia cough was going round.we had a great time ,
Hope you are on the mend very soon,this weather will help insure.

Pills only made him worse and violently sick so stopped taking them but he seems a bit better.

Our 4 month old great grandson had bronchialitis phnemonia viral infection on holiday and was very poorly in hospital and apparently it attacked his organs and it will take 4 years to recover from it so alway getting infections now.
So many bad infections about.

Went on my Danube cruise beginning of July, quite a different experience from sea cruising. Lovely places visited, starting with three nights in Prague, followed by the cruise itself. My favourite place was Budapest. No pictures to show as my camera developed a fault for most of the trip.

Will be going on a relocation cruise with Royal Caribbean late in the year. Sailing from Southampton to Boston, New York then down to Florida with a stay for three nights in Miami then fly home.
Where are you going in January trixie, somewhere away from the winter?
Bent legs hope you and yours are ok.

Was it a package tour you went on ?

Mrs C fancies seeing Prague

Can you recommend a travel Co please
Thanks

Replied: 28th Jul 2018 at 17:44

Posted by: Anne (4384) 

Cordyline.....yes it was a package, the company was Imagine cruising, Royal Wootten Bassett. The cruise company was "A-Rosa".
I don't think I and my other friends will do another river cruise, we much prefer sea cruises although we visited some lovely places. There are several reasons not to river cruise again, these are mainly lack of facilities if the weather isn't good and lack of choice of food owing obviously to the size of the boat. The hotel and Prague itself we all enjoyed as we did the other stops. One other thing which was off putting was price. This ten day holiday cost £2500 pp, quite expensive we thought. The next cruise I have booked for November is costing £1279 for eighteen days. Of course it is leaving Southampton in November with three nights in Miami but you can see the price difference.

Thanks for reply Anne
We will probably stay in hotel in Prague and not bother with the cruise
Next week we are going to Chester for a few days -- so might try a cruise on the Dee

Cordy... one good thing about Prague was the trams. They were free for oldies so we were told. Not sure if we should have obtained a pass of some sort, however we simply got on and off. There was no one checking.

I've only seen the Danube once and I was dissappointed because it was khaki coloured. Johan Strauss was a liar!
