    I don’t know about Falmouth harbour itself, but the surrounding creeks and countryside are beautiful.

    After being on 'Butlins afloat' you'd probably be glad to have a break in those places. Sounds like a floating working mens club.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    Not at those prices not a working man’s club more like one of those gentleman’s clubs.Seabourn cruises are a high end product aimed on this occasion at the overseas market.

    The poor, gullible sods buying into this jewels dream! But I suppose if you believe that a cruise and quick stops in different ports / countries shows you all you need to know about a place, then let people spend and be happy.

    Obviously their marketing manager used to be an estate agent -

    £550 per night - you could get a decent hotel for that and be able to go out and walk around without the threat of being keel hauled.

    I note that they dock at Greenock.

    Passengers could opt for the bus trip to Glasgow to the Argyll Arcade for some bling-bling or get a taxi over to Port Glasgow & buy an £8k flat.

    If you think Grimsby is "grim" try "Mingingham" just up the estuary.

    Grimsby and Las Vegas - the two places in the world, where you can pay for sex................. with chips.

    Imingham was always known in seafaring circles - as MingMing.
