Enjoyed a free upgrade

We had a wonderful cruise with a free upgrade.  I thought being retired, I wouldn’t be able to get the Healthcare offer, so was very happy to be upgraded.

Putting this very simply. I just couldn’t have done my family Disney vacation without Martin. He is fabulous at every turn and never leaves a question unanswered even for this very nervous post Covid mum ! This time has been fab and so were the last times too!
