We are in an inside cabin. Paid about £150 pppn for a grade one up from the basic. 13 night cruise. Yes more than we usually pay but did get 400 obc. Still on board and Azores tomorrow
On board Bolette at the moment and enjoying the ship. For those interested the following are the differences I notice
Evening turn down
Captains drinks party with canapes
Nibbles with drinks
Very much better menu much more varied and many more Always Available
We have OBC but still get our discount as well
We have 2 more booked with P&O but this is definitely better quality.
I have never had to queue for a drink, but then I only sail on Aurora or Arcadia. Waiters around both inside and out on deck!
As for veggie bashing, I quite like veggie dishes normally but not the ones on P&O. I just wish there was more variety in the food. Roast, roast, roast and veggie.
It could mean a few things. So for instance if a helicopter is over her (maybe) and she has to take a certain course, then she is restricted in her ability to manoevre. It warns other ships.
Also, if it was a helicopter evacuation then the ship would have to steam into wind for the chopper. I'm guessing here, but have seen this before.
Just got our embarkation time and luggage labels for Bolette. It's 1400. Can anyone tell me what happens if we are an hour early Can you sit in the terminal, or do they make you wait outside like P&O do?
I see on the Beeb that Eavesway were stuck on the M6 yesterday for 8 hours due to an oil spill and all those passengers have missed their cruise. Ship waited for 2 hours, but then had to leave. Feel sorry for all those affected. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crg93g29rnlo?fbclid=IwAR3e0tkcNGgjpVTqupVBw35U1Q1X0EEL1t1KbJrsKFVugdA48_4Tbcy7d-Q
