The 2018 holiday 'Theme'

Every holiday seems to develop it's own 'Theme'. This year it seems to have involved ... champagne!

Nice theme to have really. So, the story.

Got to duty free on the way out and decided to get a new watch. Wife Sandra also got some jewellery. Shop gave us half a bottle of champagne! We knew that there was a complimentary bottle in our cabin. Sandra was on a jewellery kick... and we got another bottle from the onboard shop. Entered a 'guess the price' competition - first 2 closest weren't there so it went to the third closest - another bottle. Towards the end of the cruise we were told we were getting another complimentary bottle from the ship.

Then, on the flight home - BA steward came around thinking it was Sandra's birthday. Pointed out it wasn't, worked out that it was an Americam/British language thing - assume they got the details from the American cruise firm so the day/month were reversed. Nice BA gave Sandra the complimentary birthday bottle of champagne anyway...

So, something like five and a half bottles of champagne, none of which we technically 'paid' for!

These are holiday themes I like!
