Forthcoming Anniversary Cruise.

[Graham Payne]

Hi John, firstly Congratulations to you both I'm sure you will enjoy this cruise, my wife and myself have done it and had a great time. Boarding in Southampton is really good, beats Airports anytime plus you will be allowed onboard even before your cabin is ready. If possible try to arrive at the terminal about 1230hrs no matter what boarding time P&O gave you, forget your luggage they are pretty slick with that, it just turns up in your cabin. Enjoy it mate

Greetings Graham,
Many thanks for your congratualations yes we are looking forward to it after a very bad few years with my wifes & youngest daughters health problems (both had breast cancer) however it looks like that is all behind us now so this holiday couldn't have come at a better time.
With regards to getting to Southampton on time well we wont have any controll over that because tomorrow we are going to our daughters in Nottingham for the night then she will run us to East Midlands Airport next morning and we leave there by coach @ 08.30 exactly what time we get to the ship I have no idea.
Anyway once again many thanks for your kind words,
Best wishes,
Kathleen & John Aspin (R685343) Ormesby-Middlesbrough.

Asuming its a "Eavsaway Coach" Still no problems, my wifes mate boards one at the at "Knutsford Service station" and is aboard by 1430hrs, still pretty slick boarding. You will both have a great time I'm sure.

I Liked the photo of your group on stern of Pavia Gordon but didnt recognise an yone. I joined the London based ships of Cunard about the same time as you and did fifteen years with Cunard. Did sail as PCS on Pavia on a very different trip than was her norm. The year was 1964 and we did a ZIM Line charter to the far east Japan etc,very different from the normal Atlantic run or Meddy. C/O was Peter Brush and Captain Skye Robbie....
Have a great cruise in Movember......
