I don't think I have ever heard Doris Day on P&O, although Move over Darling was quite good, but maybe not for dancing, and only the odd Elvis track. However if Pulse or the DJ wants to fill the dancefloor, then a selection of songs from the best of the 60s 70s and 80s always proves the best option.

I have lots of issues with P&Os standard disembarkation procedure, but in addition to my preference for having luggage arranged in time slots, I think P&Os lack of announcements over the ships intercom is another very weak point. This allows no flexibility at all if things are going well, or indeed if there are delays, as a result many times I have seen no queues at all at the gangway, whilst the meeting venues are still full. Which is why as a wheelchair pusher I always opt to self disembark rather than wait in the Limelight club for a porter.

I thought the endless feature on the forward pool had been disabled for years?

Really not too bothered about having dedicated disabled lifts, what I want is intelligent lift users who know to move away from the rear lift wall, rather than everyone heading for a wall as we get in, resulting in no way the wheelchair and I can fit in the lift.

No benefit at all unless you can choose your cabin, which most select passenger do.

I understand the cruise cover is now £27 per each cruise, and you only need to add it to the policy when the next cruise is due. Still a very good deal since, if a couple, you would redeem your payment if you only had 1 claim a year for 10 cruises, which in a year is highly unlikely, whereas one missed port in say 3 cruises a year, is very likely in todays safety conscious times. One rider, not sure if it is £27pp, or as now it covers both parties, as my informant is a single lady.

I assume you live in the US, have you tried any UK travel insurance companies, are they able to sell you a similar 1 trip policy that they sell to UK citizens?

Since all the higher loyalty members seem to be getting earlier boarding times than the website states, its very unlikely anyone is going to complain.

Clearly that did not work!

I think that data is very old, probably well before covid, and long before the new boarding system was introduced.

MB if you check her stats theres not a great deal of difference between her and Ventura, she is quite a bit a longer than Ventura but a tad narrower, and her passenger and crew numbers are very similar. In fact she will carry far more passengers than the other 3 Queens.

It looks a wee bit like Norwegion Epic, which looks very top heavy, and ready for a Poseidon incident.

Where have seen these check in times notified, are they on the website?

Since the booking clerk was only basing her decisions on the P&O system errors, I find that answer absolutely ridiculous and would be demanding a high level apology and a massive amount of compensation.

We are only Baltic but had a 12:30 boarding time on our March Iona cruise.

Nope, rather angular and looks a bit like a container freighter.

With all these special features requested, and only the size of Arcadia, I am wondering how on earth we are going to fit 2000 passengers inside as well?!!!

My nominee account is like David's, I only get a statement every 3 months, which I can print off, the on line live data is difficult to print off, and would need massive redacting.

It should be, it opens every day around mid day.

13. Oceana's Atrium.

I would assume that US passengers would equally be able to use a UK TA. Basically it's no different to buying any service on line you pay by credit card and are charged in sterling.

I think the old NW missed ports cover was far too generous, so it's no wonder the new underwriters have increased the price. Especially as missed ports now seem far more common than in the past, and if it conues to increase I imagine the cost of cover will have to increase as well.

A friend of ours just renewed her policy under the Aviva rules, and was happy with the medical excess which was unchanged, and there is no longer any age excess, but has not bothered with the missed port extra which has now to be done per cruise.

Presumably starring Chris Kamara.!!!!

Not entirely true, our Canadian relatives booked a cruise with us through our UK TA, two cruises actually, one with P&O and one with Royal Caribbean.
