On Ventura, it’s pretty bad trying to get a meal in MDR. Speciality dining has been fully booked since embarkation and I have honestly never had anything this bad regards waiting times and service in all the years cruising with P&O ☹️ We’re 11 nights away from Caribbean tier, not sure we’ll get there if they don’t sort things out and concentrate on all ships not just the new ones.

Hi, I would also avoid a balcony on deck 9 due to privacy as they are quite visible from the prom deck. Also check the location of any hot tubs as they can be noisy at times. We we’re mid aft on deck 10 which was a good location for our needs.

We prefer Freedom dining. Have tried Club and it wasn’t for us, we usually only eat 2 courses and feel it would be rude to leave the table while others are only halfway through their courses.

I watched the review (thanks for the link) and this is worrying as we are going on Ventura on Saturday. We tend to breakfast around 8am and have dinner around 6.30pm so fingers crossed these times aren’t too busy as we have pre booked entertainment. Speciality dining isn’t available for pre book 🙄 Agree with Jamie’s point about filling up ships when they don’t have enough staff. Will see how it goes and enjoy our cruise 🥂

Thanks for reply.

Good evening, does anyone have any idea the likelihood of a cruise being cancelled due to lack of “bums on seats” ? Noticed something in the T&C’s but not stating what the minimum numbers were. Thanks

Recently got back from a great holiday in this cabin. Nice cabin and good location, especially for port days when forward lifts are used. Spacious enough for us with decent storage, the balcony has a table and 2 chairs which is ok but not enough room for loungers. No problems with noise. Enjoy

Recently back from two weeks on Adriatic affair/sail 3 seas and no testing on day 7. Allowed to go to and sit at the bar and only mask wearing is by the staff.

Anyone on this flight be aware they have changed the plane type. When checking our booking we noticed our pre-booked seats were no longer there, luckily after a long phone call we managed to rebook seats. No notification from Tui, and pretty bad to say we paid for extra leg room (hubby very tall)
