You guys seem like the sort who would prick up your ears at the words, "Free holiday". Well, who wouldn't. It's not exactly free, but near enough. Last Christmas/New Year me and the memsahib had a three week cruise around the Caribbean aboard P&O's Aurora. For free. I was there as the Port Lecturer and the memsahib was there was my assistant. My job was to give a 45 minute lecture on each of the places we visited and the memsahib's job was to carry my bags! We had a cabin in the ship's officer's quarters and dined in the officer's mess. We also did the shore trips as P&O escorts. It was a great cruise. Unfortunately, I've developed a Bell's Palsy and I can no longer talk for 45 mins without lisping. Don't look too pretty these days either, which could frighten the passengers. The medics say it's not going to get any better so I won't be doing any more free trips. But if any of you feel like giving it at try, send me your email address and I'll mail you the agency details. There are no qualifications. If you can stand up on your hind legs and talk, you can do it. I had to do a three day course at the agency's offices in Lewes which cost me £60. Once I was signed onto their books I only had to do one cruise to be in pocket. Worth thinking about?
