@cruiselifestyl Just an update on the miserable weather here. Woke this morning to see snow on the mountains.. followed by a hail shower as I headed out to work.. then said 20 mins ago about the sky so dark.. not anymore as it's just dumped a load more sleet and rain onto us! #CruiseHour

@AnneM245 I guess you’re a bit further north and the days are a bit shorter still. Roll on the clocks changing! #CruiseHour

Q4) At this time of year, do you prefer warmer destinations or mild spring weather for a cruise? #CruiseHour

@cruiselifestyl Nice to have you back Laura 🤗 Great topic too. Have a nice week everyone. 🥰 #CruiseHour

Thank you everyone for turning up to the first #CruiseHour in a few weeks, I very much enjoyed our conversations and hearing about your experiences of cruising in the shoulder months. Now spring is here, we’ve got more to look forward to! Have a great week everyone 👋

@Cruise_Travel63 @cruiselifestyl Last time it was an overnight pre cruise stay and an entirely different experience. Night time through all the alleys and passageways was a great atmosphere. Next morning with a ship in was so awful with the crowds on the streets. #CruiseHour

@AnneM245 @cruiselifestyl Venice is beautiful as a destination in its own right especially out of season and as you say Anne, at night when the crowds have left ….

Q5) PHOTO FINISH 📸 Share some of the best cruise destinations you’ve visited in spring or autumn you’d recommend #CruiseHour

@cruiselifestyl @Scotsonaship I'm their unofficial tour guide lol To be fair, I don't mind going back, but if I can, I want to visit the church at SanSevero. My sister has wanted to visit Pompeii since she was about 15 and the others didn't want to be left out so that is why we bolted it on. #CruiseHour

@AnneM245 @Scotsonaship Wonderful! Having a pre-cruise stay gets you away that little bit earlier too. What are you doing in Naples if your brother and sister have plans? #CruiseHour

@Scotsonaship @cruiselifestyl Yep! It's been unbearable. #CruiseHour

@Scotsonaship @cruiselifestyl Don't forget the rain.. rain.. and more rain! Never mind a cruise, I thought I was going to need an Ark at the start of this year! 😭🤣 #CruiseHour

@cruiselifestyl It has been great to see daylight until nearly 6pm the last couple of weeks , but it was all the dark rain clouds today. 😔 The clocks change this weekend don't they ? #CruiseHour

@cruiselifestyl A4) anywhere that I can thaw 🥶 By this time of year I'm ready for some heat ☀️ Saying that, mid 20s is perfect. BUT, if someone offered to take me somewhere in the high teens I'd be away! 😂 I also burn easily and that really is no pleasure either. #CruiseHour

@cruiselifestyl @Cruise_Travel63 💯 agree. Perfect time of the year for the weather and crowds. #CruiseHour

@Cruise_Travel63 I agree, end of April/beginning of May has lovely weather for Mediterranean ports. Perfect for walking around #CruiseHour

@cruiselifestyl Coming home this evening it was down to 5C and it has rained pretty much all day. Was dark again too before 4pm It's so depressing.😔 Would make you want to book a holiday in the sun #CruiseHour

@AnneM245 Double figures is a bonus to be honest and I’m happy with anything above 20! #CruiseHour

@Scotsonaship @cruiselifestyl I'm not counting either! Lol a couple of nights in Naples, just long enough for my brother & sisters to visit Herculaneum & Pompeii. Then an early morning train to Rome 🤞 #CruiseHour

@cruiselifestyl 47 days not that we are counting

@cruiselifestyl Absolutely is! Means I can go anytime now that suits me if I see a good deal. #CruiseHour

@AnneM245 You can now avoid school holidays which must be a big bonus for you! #CruiseHour

Q2) What are some of the perks of cruising in spring/autumn? #CruiseHour

@cruiselifestyl A3) never done one. Not adverse to trying one. Never really given them much more thought tbh. #CruiseHour

Q3) Would you/have you taken a repositioning cruise? What are your thoughts on this type of cruise? #CruiseHour

@cruiselifestyl A1) evening. Nice to have you back Laura 🤗 My first reaction was "anywhere that gets too hot in peak season!" The med, and particularly the East, can have ferocious temperatures in the height of summer which is too unpleasant for anything #CruiseHour

Hi everyone, sorry it’s been so long since we last chatted for #CruiseHour it’s been good to have a rest but I’m looking forward to our chat today about cruising in the shoulder seasons! Q1) What type of cruise itinerary do you think works best in spring/autumn?

@PomeryKaren Looking fabulous 😍 have a great evening 🤗

I’m in my ‘Green Goddess’ gown again… but I won’t be doing any exercise other than promenading around the ship 😂🛳️🍾🥂 You’ve got to be a certain age to remember the green goddess on TV! 🤔😱

@cruiselifestyl I'm not home yet but hope to be by the time you start 🤞

I’m finally back! #CruiseHour begins in 30 minutes and now we’ve finally made it out of winter, we’re talking about cruising in the shoulder seasons (spring/autumn). Hope you can join in the conversation 😁

@PomeryKaren @PrincessCruises Nothing more than you deserve 🥰🍾🥳🎂

Awwww… 🥰 I’ve had birthday cake for dessert and a round of Happy Birthday to you sung to me ❤️ then popped back to my cabin to find a Happy Birthday banner too! ❤️🥰 Thank you and your fabulous crew @PrincessCruises

@PomeryKaren Happy birthday Karen 🎂🥳 Slainte to a year of safe travels , fancy frocks and fine wines 🛳️ 👗🍾🥂🥰

And so another trip around the sun for me today and starting the day as I mean to go on! 🍾🥂🎉🥳 I shall be packing my suitcase but might be face down drunk by 10am… could go either way! 😂🍾🥂🥳🎉🛳️ #birthdaygirl #anotheryearolderstillnonethewiser
