No harking back guys, just pissed at the removal of free movement, but nowt we can do about that. Your last line is a bit ridiculous though, and negates your first line!With respect, I think that you are completely missing my point.
Im am NOT saying that I can (or want) to repeat my 1970/80/90 / 2016 cruising!
I am (AM) saying that I cruised in the 70/80/90/2014 's under whatever)rules as they then applied AND FOUND A WAY TO CRUISE UNDER THOSE RULES!
I will continue to be flexible and do the same again.
Neither the EU or any other political organisation will determine my cruising grounds, never have, never will.
You found a way to cruise under those rules, yet you never let the rules dicttate when and where you cruise? I don't think so
Look, we know we can cruise, but we cant cruise the way we planned, and yes, we will make alternative plans, thats life. But you seem to forget that as you have already cruised there extensivley, you have probably already done things the OP or I or others would like to do, so its no skin off your nose if you do something different. I get that, but this thread was about ways of getting past the new rules, which, by the way, you have no direct experience of. If you come back and find a way past them I'd love to hear about it.
Personally, my first plan is to get a 1 year visa for fance, which then leaves my schengen slots free, so I can spend 6 months or so cruising down the atlantic coasts to reach the med and then get back onto the french coast, ready to start schengen shuffling again from Italy onwards.
