The Cruise Difference – Now & Then

By Treadwell and Tenny on 06/11/2019 in Cruise Funnies, Cruise Info

Here we go again. There we were, in the snug bar of The Bloated Goat, and that hoary old chestnut reared its ugly visage once more. “But why go on a cruise and get stuck on a boat with hundreds of people you don’t know – and probably don’t like – and have no way to […]

We Need An Alternative To Alternative Dining!

By Treadwell and Tenny on 20/09/2019 in Cruise Food, Cruise Funnies

Okay, we couldn’t let this one pass without comment. As much as we agree with our good friends (and proper journalists) Susan and Simon on most things, their blog about the Top 10 Alternative Dining options at sea cannot pass without comment. Not by us, anyway. Now, don’t get us wrong. We are all for […]

Who’s To Blame For The P&O Punch-Up?

By Treadwell and Tenny on 05/08/2019 in Cruise Funnies, Cruise News

There are some things that bring matters to a shuddering halt over the smoked kippers at breakfast. This week’s sea-going punch-up was most definitely one of those occasions. Picture, if you will, Tenny with a forkful of aforementioned fish half-way to his lips, Times newspaper in front of him, and then the scandalised gasp of, […]

Stop The World (Wide Web), We Want To Get Off!

By Treadwell and Tenny on 30/05/2019 in Cruise Funnies, Cruise Info

We quite enjoy technology. After all, it gets us going in the morning (the fancy iHome gadget that doubles as an alarm clock and iPhone charger at the same time); it provides the entertainment on our Smart TV (certainly smarter than the shop assistant who tried to explain how it works); and it powers our […]

Anatomy Of A Cruise

By Treadwell and Tenny on 09/05/2019 in Cruise Funnies, Cruise Info

We were slightly taken aback by the question. We’re totally used to fielding all kinds of queries about our favourite pastime in the snug bar of The Bloated Goat, but this one gave us pause for thought. Several pauses, in point of fact. It was simple enough. “What is a cruise actually like?” asked […]

Want Great Memories? Take A Cruise!

By Treadwell and Tenny on 04/04/2019 in Cruise Funnies, Cruise Info

It all started with a simple enough question: What do you most remember about a cruise? A pretty straightforward query, you’d think. But it genuinely set us thinking. Now, the back-story to this is the fact we’re seen as the ‘old codgers’ of our local – the Methuselahs of the Snug Bar, the Galapagos tortoises […]

We’re Rebelling At This Virgin Label

By Treadwell and Tenny on 07/03/2019 in Cruise Funnies, Cruise News, Over The Yardarm

The film Jaws 2 said it best: Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… Or, in our case, just when we thought it was safe to have a second glance at this ‘Virgin Voyages’ caper that is due to set sail next year, along comes another bloody great assault […]

It’s Time For The TAT Cruise Awards 2019!

By Treadwell and Tenny on 01/02/2019 in Cruise Funnies, Cruise Info, Cruise News

Cole Porter said it best about this time of year, when you have the Golden Globes, the AACTAs, the SAGs and the Grammys (and, of course, the Oscars in a few weeks’ time): And that’s why birds do it, bees do it Even educated fleas do it Let’s do it, let’s…hand out Awards. Okay, […]

Booking A Cruise, In A Roundabout Way

By Treadwell and Tenny on 28/11/2018 in Caribbean Cruises, Cruise Destinations, Cruise Funnies, Regent Seven Seas

A conversation at Treadwell & Tenny Towers, Sussex, sometime in November 2018 Tenny: Bugger it, Treadwell old girl. Where the hell did you put my glasses this time? I just put them down a moment ago and now they’re gone. Treadwell: *Long suffering* They’re on your head, darling. Tenny: What? Where was that, you say? […]
