Well, we couldn’t all go, so the lucky ones were Kim, Vicky, Joanne & Bridget! Kim & Vicky were even luckier and both attended the naming ceremony by Her Majesty the Queen, which they agreed was spectacular! We obviously have to wait and see how the first cruisers get on, but it would appear from the girls’ short-lived overnight experience that P&O have an absolute winner. The ship is very spacious and beautifully appointed, food excellent with superb service and as always with P&O, afternoon tea to die for! There’s no point discussing what she has and hasn’t got because that’s for those that have already booked on her from Southampton or Barbados to find out, we have many clients just waiting for their time to come! We would like to send our sincere thanks to P&O Cruises for their kind invitation to experience a ship that they should be very proud of!

Dear Friends,By the time you receive this newsletter, I will be away with Rose, Kim & Nigel on our 8-night Belgium & Holland river cruise. That signals Easter, so where does the time go? In fact, I’m writing this with only three months to the longest day! There are lots of offers to consider on sea and river, plus an additional 4-page leaflet enclosed covering some fabulous exclusive Cruise In offers for late bookings on Oceania, as well as our Christmas Market offerings, albeit a little later than usual. I always like to highlight one or two specials, so take a look at Holland America’s late deals in the Med, our new reunion date for Paris in 2016 and Carnival’s new ship for the Med in 2016. Although Princess and Cunard have not been featured in this newsletter, please don’t forget we sell them all at discounted prices! Hope to see you all soon! Cliff

Despite trying hard to get a ship down to Basel for nights in Switzerland it wasn’t to be. The mere journey distance and time factor to take the ship from Cologne was the stopper. As the most boring part of the Rhine because it is canalised, Strasbourg to Basel alone is 14 hours of cruising with Mainz or Rüdesheim to Strasbourg clocking a further 23 hours, you can understand the problem! One year we hope to use a ship as a hotel in Basel to create tours in Switzerland featuring scenic sights covered in snow without the cost of Swiss hotels! However, we have chosen in 2015 to visit our regular markets and places with, to start, a 3 night hotel ship stay in Cologne, arriving late afternoon on Sunday 22nd November, ready for the Christmas opening of 5 Cologne markets on the Monday, allowing 2 full days of exploring before either returning home or staying on board for one of two five night cruises. These will be taking in the markets of Koblenz on two mornings, Wiesbaden on one, as well as afternoon and evening stops at a selection of Mainz,
Rüdesheim and Bonn. Our last cruise will spend a full day and night in Cologne at the end. The choice is yours! For full details of these exciting cruises, take a look at our enclosed dedicated ‘Cruise In’s 2015 Ultimate Rhine Christmas Market Cruises’ brochure.

a Magical Opportunity To experience 4 wonderful Nightson The douro River – Portugal’s ‘Jewel In The Crown’
CRUISE IN R IVER CRUISES CRUISE IN R IVER CRUISES
The Douro is truly one of the great cruising rivers of Europe. It is set in the most gorgeous, vibrantly picturesque countryside. It threads its way through gorges and massive, fascinating locks that leave you spellbound as to how they work. There are vine-covered hillsides everywhere you look, with sleepy villages soaking up the sun. The weather is invariably wonderful. But there’s one thing most travel agents don’t tell you about the Douro. It is a short cruise river. It is only navigable for a comparatively short distance. That’s why Cruise In, who know the river well, have taken a charter for five days only. Five days is the absolutely perfect length of time to spend on the river itself. The Douro Cruiser is a luxury river vessel with 65 cabins of which 38 have private balconies. She offers a full-service cruise experience including a mixture of international and Portuguese cuisine, as well as a small onboard entertainment programme. There will also be optional shore excursions allowing you to explore and experience the region’s unique history, culture and hospitality. Porto and Lisbon are both magical cities, busy and fascinating, each with a highly individual character. To stay in either is the perfect compliment to the tranquil time spent on the river.

Carnival will be back in the Mediterranean in 2016. It’s official! The 135,500 ton Carnival Vista will commence its first cruise on 1st May from Trieste with a 13 night cruise to Rome, the first European voyage for Carnival in 3 years. There is no point telling you all the great new experiences there are for you on board – you are sure to read everything in due course or you could view everything on the Carnival website. I experienced the last two Carnival ships that cruised the Med in recent years and can honestly say, as I did then, the experience was exceptional. Yes, glitzy, but superb entertainment in the fabulous theatre, excellent music in the bars and show lounges, plus really good service and wonderful food. The most important point I had to make was the difference between Carnival in the Mediterranean compared with the Caribbean. Rather than being ‘fun ships’ and now their slogan ‘the future of fun’ in the Caribbean, the leopard changed its spots to being a true, blue Mediterranean ship with like-minded people onboard. I’ll bet my bottom dollar I’m right ‘cos I shall certainly sample another Carnival Cruise’!

BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE! This new card, the EHIC is a replacement for the E111. Our first advice is to you all. Register immediately online if you haven’t got one already! Secondly, don’t fall into the ‘SCAM’ trap like so many of you have when buying your ESTA for travel to the States. If you google EHIC you will find the first site up will look like you have made it! Wrong! It’s a SCAM. You will fill everything in, it will then ask for card details and charge you £49 per person for handling your application. You need a GOV or NHS site because it’s FREE.
Visit www.gov.uk/european-health-insurance-card and it will take you to the correct part of the NHS site to begin your application.
Now let’s go through some of the important points. They always state that this is not a substitute for travel insurance and will not give you access to private hospital services or seeing a doctor, dentist or pharmacy bills amongst others things.
Each country now operates their own system and must be checked on the NHS site. Basically you should be able to get the same treatment as if you were a resident of the country you are visiting. In some countries, you may have to pay a patient contribution, known as a co-payment once you get back to the UK. Once you have paid out your proportion abroad it cannot be claimed back once back home. When abroad the emergency number for help in Europe is 112. It’s a free call to reach an ambulance or police, including from mobile phones. Anything else you need to confirm can be found on the NHS website.
In our past history, until our Strasbourg Christmas Market cruises in December 2014, no passenger requiring hospital treatment (equivalent to A&E) including 2 hospitalisations has ever been charged but at Strasbourg (France) our client was asked to pay 20% of the total bill. This covered Fast Response Medics, Ambulance, Doctor Fast Response, 1 week hospitalisation and drugs. Needless to say the partner had all hotel bills, meals and new tickets for 2 for repatriation and expenses in full to pay on top. So, insurance it isn’t. Apply today. You don’t know when you’ll need it!
CHANGES TO EUROPEAN HEALTHCARE RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS!
Last week of January. What could we do for a winter escape? Maybe the same as we did two years ago, 7 nights around the Med at a ridiculously low price with Costa.
We advertised the cruise on the brand new Costa Diadema, launched in November 2014. 19 of us ventured into the unknown for 8 nights on a 'NO FLY' option using Eurostar and TGV.
The route by train was absolutely first rate and something I would do again. We all took the easy way by travelling Eurostar to Lille and staying overnight at the 5-star Novotel Suite Hotel outside Lille Europe station, which was agreed by all as one of the best hotels ever! Our journey onward was superb, taking just 5 hours 13 minutes from North to South arriving at Marseille just after midday. The worst part was the cruise terminal check-in. As always, Costa didn’t have a clue how to handle it. Maybe it was the port staff but I doubt it. We finally got on at 16:30! On our return journey we left Marseille at 09:15 and were back in London at 16:00!
COSTA dIAdEMA… A WINTER ESCAPE!
There is very little I can say about the ship. As always it was squeaky clean throughout as is always with Costa. Balcony cabins were beautiful and far more practical than many other new ships. Food was well up to standard as was the service. Entertainment excellent as long as you avoided Italian ‘holiday camp’ extras! Other downs: very noisy on deck 9. Wish the travel agent had done some homework on where the buffet and kitchen service areas were! The truth is I forgot the golden rules and failed to look at the deck plan! Some passengers onboard were noisy even at 3am in the corridors.
The conclusion: Had a lovely week. Really enjoyed my winter break. To have a week in Majorca or the Algarve would have cost far more with food and entertainment than what any of us paid, or could have paid. The value was fantastic, the company of those that went with us, priceless. Let’s hope we get the same value next winter….watch this space and don’t be afraid of Costa! Cliff
