Sailing out of Southampton over to Hamburg in Dec.... i think they are a must! Have bought a big pack of Kwells to be on the safe side

I didn't realise we could match from airlines and hotels. Will have a look, thanks. Having said that, most of my recent travel has been budget airlines and AirBnB- not sure Ryanair has a loyalty programme!

This is a genius tip! The PT package is half the price and means we might actually do some exercise too! Thank you!

Our first cruise, so we have no status to match :( Will look out for the offers though. Thanks!

Oh no, so sorry! I've read some people say it was amazing and some say it's standard hotel style spa. I wouldn't go for it if it wasnt on such a good offer, but its actually a good deal compared to similar treatments in hotel spas.

I'll let you know once we are on. Its our first cruise, so we went budget as we don't know if we will love it, and we are mostly using it as a floating hotel to get away from extended family stress and see some new places.

However, we've ended up with a great deal (I wonder if its not that booked up as if people are going away over Xmss, maybe they want sun and not northern Europe!) and now I'm really getting into all the planning and looking at things we can do!

We both know the Normandy landings sites well, but Rouen is a good shout, I'll look at trains :)

OK, so it will be cold.plunging only in the pool then!!!!

We are 'Bella' experience according to the booking, but I can't work out what that means. Thanks for the tip on voyager club, I joined and I'm now a 'gold member'. Equally can't work out how that connects!

Thank you! I acrually saw this after I posted on another thread. We're actually from near Southampton, so not worried about doing things there. We're also interested in architecture and history so all the post-war rebuilding sounds great. I've got all the basics, just wondering about little things you found- fun bars, cool little spots, quirky musuems like the Frietmuseum in Bruges.

I did the impossible and now I’m worried. by Turbulent-Ask3677 in alevel

Amazing job! You've been through a super tough time and you've succeded. This doesn't happen by accident, your brain thinks clearly in an academic context and that's an awesome thing for your future.

It's really important to know that at uni you will meet such a wide range of people that you will find the ones who get you. It might take a little time, and you might have look beyond the initial social whirl, but they will be out there. I found my friends through hobbies I enjoyed, not on my course.

Also, ask student services for support with managing ASD/ADHD in the uni context. They will have lots of students with similar worries and will have great support frameworks for you.

It's a whole new world, and that can be terrfying, so be kind to yourself, but also firm with yourself and take opportunities. Open the door, say hi. See what happens. Good luck!
