Soggy bottoms on a cruise?
TravelMole’s latest poll was based on the news that national treasure, British Bake Off host Mary Berry, will run cookery lessons onboard P&O’s new ship Britannia this year.
Berry and 10 other celebrity chefs will be on a number of Britannia’s sailings throughout the year, teaching passengers how to cook, hosting exclusive chef’s table dinners, and holding Q&A sessions and book signings.
Okay, so it might not have been the most burning issue for the travel industry (yes, that was a deliberate cooking pun), but we decided to gauge your thoughts.
We asked you: Mary Berry to give cookery lessons on Britannia. Would you want to avoid soggy bottoms on a cruise?
