Cool Cruiser (2/15)

purplesea started following Quick recap of Iona cruise , Accepted proof of insurance and Library - Book swap shelf on Arvia
-
I had/have insurance with our bank and have got a policy booklet which covers all the required information as well as a letter. I have had to take out a seperate insurance, as the bank will not cover my medical condition. With that insurance I have printed out the relevant details and downloaded the whole policy on to my ipad.

P&O Cruisers - What are things like where YOU are?
purplesea replied to Host Sharon's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
On our first visit to Maderia we were welcomed by dancers in their national costumes and a band playing. Granada has had a steel band playing. Norway seem to be more pleased to see us depart as several ports there play music and wave flags as we leave! -

Morning everyone, Hope you're all well. Bright, sunny day and currently 14c with expected temp of 19c. Had a text message from my daughter yesterday saying she's doing a BBQ on Saturday and inviting us over. I asked if she wanted me to bring anything, and got a reply at half six this morning could I make a pudding. So a baking day is now on the cards. Have a good day, enjoy the sunshine and take care. -

Morning all, Hope you feel better this morning Sue @P&O SUE Bright down here, but sun's still trying to get out and a cool 13c but expected to reach the dizzy heights of 18c. Got someone coming round to sort out our conservatory door, and I need to get in touch with BT as we are having problems with our phone line and the internet, but nothing else planned. Enjoy your day. -

Sorry to hear this, hope you feel better soon. -
Britannia has lifts forward, mid-ships and aft. My mother is a wheelchair user and the only time we had a major problem with lifts was on disembarkation day. We were 4 hours late docking and lots of people decided to self-disembark, meaning that the lifts were full of people with luggage.

I was on Arvia at Easter and as I had taken books with me to read, didn't check it out till nearer the end of the cruise. There were quite a few books when I went to leave mine. I took one and returned it a couple of days later and there were a lot more then. Obviously a lot of people, like me, were not taking books that had been read home. Therefore, I should imagine if there would be quite a selection at the beginning of the cruise too.

Couple of questions about Southampton embarkation
purplesea replied to thedarklord's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Espcially as the previous year we were on deck 15 and had a boarding time of 12.15! -

Due to board Iona on Saturday, we're Mediterranean tier & been given 3.15 check in. Doesn't seem to be any sort of pattern as we've had earlier times on previous sailings, regardless hope to be on for lunchtime, yes it's a seven night cruise but with these timings it's a 61/2 day cruise! There is no logic! We are in the Mediterranean tier and were on deck 14 on Arvia at Easter and our boarding time was 3.30 pm. -
Thanks for your review, and glad to hear that you all had a good time. I too enjoyed Iona, but as it was shortly after the pandemic, so she was only sailing half full and certain corridors were closed off for quarantine. I would like to sail on her again though. Just wish she had a more varied itineries.

We had rain overnight again. It was looking very dull when I got up, but although it's bright blue sky the sun is out. It's about 12c now but expected to get up to 15c, so not too bad. -

Been to Truro and back already this morning, as son needed a lift into work. Also stopped at The Range on my way home to pick up one or two things we needed. Now sitting with a cup of coffee before getting on with the rest of the day's chores. Not sure what our weather is going to do as we had rain overnight, and it still looks very dark although there is blue sky and sunny spells. It's supposed to be sunny with a high of 14c, but we will see! -
