It was lovely to read that the Bolsover team have won 2 more awards Best Independent Travel Agency and Best Cruise Holiday Retailer. Congratulations to all, no other club comes close to your customer service. It is well deserved

Hi we have just renewed our passports online and had 9 months left to go. They do still let you do this and we have 10years and 9 months on the shiny new passports. However both passports went to different offices, had we gone to the post office they would have gone to the same office. Both photos had a white edge showing, hubbies was accepted but Newport chucked my photo out. Took a lot of prising that info out of them, dealing with HMRC is easier than the passport office. The post office is quicker.

We have just watched the short video on the makeover of non suite cabins and they will look very nice, totally stripped out and full makeover, cream and beige colours used. Schedule for refurbs starts next year through to 2023 and involves the whole fleet including the ships that were up for sale.

we are booked on Silhouette in May as yet nothing to say any different. Fingers crossed as this area is new to us

Thank you, will get a small amount of each just before we go.

we are going to the Baltics in May but not sure if I have to obtain all the different currencies, it would be used mostly for a drink whilst out sightseeing. I have got my roubles for St Petersburg as I have a tour to pay for. However do the other ports take Euros or Dollars or do we need to get the various Krona etc. Am I better off changing a small amount of pounds/dollars/euros to local currency at guest relations each day?? Your help would be appreciated.

We too book Celebrity and Bolsover have never charged us for using either Visa or Amex, unlike some TA's. This is why we keep coming back to Bolsover or Celebrity direct.

Hi all, shorthaul we use Jet2, they are usually on time and their seats do NOT recline and come with 22kg allowance. we try to use British Airways as a first choice for long haul and if we can use Avios we do, however if not possible then for the Far East it would be first choice Etihad and then Emirates. We did like Monarch for short haul but sadly no more. will never touch Ryanair.

update on my post, we have now changed our package and are only staying the night at the Hilton and are going to park at the dock with ABP, thank you for discount Bolsover.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL looking forward to next years cruises and adventures

We have been looking at MSC and they do have some good looking itineraries. However feedback so far is not good on their service levels. Has anyone out there had good experiences of them and had their other cruise line loyalty levels transferred to MSC too. HELP undecided

thank you all, we have looked at all your suggestions, at present we have booked the Hilton Ageas Bowl with parking transfers and breakfast. now to study the excursions for this trip. merry Christmas to everyone

Thanks for info so far, we are also going to Kristiansand, Copenhagan, Tallin, Helsinki, and Skagen, Sillhouette 7th May. any info gratefully received.

We have just booked a baltics cruise and would appreciate ideas on what to see and what to avoid. Would you use ship tours for St Petersburg or a private tour? Also we have never cruised from Southampton before, always fly cruised, where do you park and any recommendations for overnight hotels would be appreciated.

we have cruised on this ship when it was Airtours Sunbird, apart from the loo loosing its vacuum we had 3 very good back to back holidays. Hubbie watched which lever the plumber pressed to recharge the system in the cupboard in corridor and after that we did the recharge ourselves. Hope you enjoy your cruise
