In 2020 our Family very kindly purchased a trip for two on The Northern Belle, for my Husband's Birthday (their Dad, Dad In Law and Grandpa), knowing that it was something both he and I were very keen to do. Then, Covid hit and so it was cancelled. The booking period was quite rightly extended significantly. Very sadly though, post covid, they put their prices up so much that the gift, which had covered the trip for my husband and myself, now only covered him + a Teddy and a pen. We're not well off and couldn't afford the vast amount that we would have needed to pay for me to accompany him, so today my husband is making the trip alone. He sent some photos and it looks as though it could have been an amazing experience...but for us it was spoilt. That saddens us both, because of the huge effort that our Family went to in providing us with such an opportunity and because we were so looking forward to it, especially as it's our Golden Wedding Anniversary this year.
