    On a personal level whenever we have had a”proper” overnight we have always made a point of enjoying what that particular port had to offer in the evening and had some of the best times in doing so, the latest we have got back on board is around 2am

    In total agreement about the crew, on our overnight in Uruguay this year we were wandering back to the ship around 01.30 and saw lots of crew members in various bars enjoying themselves , and why not ,if we could have kept up with them we would have !!! ( we didn't sail until the next evening so it was a true overnight)

    You may need to start it as early as possible 🤣

    A lot of North Americans can sail out of there own country to reach the Caribbean, admittedly usually on seven day cruises but longer ones are available for them

    The one thing about prosecco on P and O is the measure in the glass if your on a drinks package or not , my good lady drinks the aforementioned and has said its a half full glass ,on all our other cruises with different companies the glass is always full ,package or not

    After dealing with the "virtual agent " this week I did indeed try Operator and ended up going through numerous banal questions ,eventually (approx five minutes) was put on hold for twenty five minutes, I would not say the process was seamless!!!😒

    I have to own up and say I didn't realise the full meaning of the phrase I used, thankfully people have taken it in good humor 😃

    Hope the first officer wasn’t called caudwell 😂😂

    Suspect the buffet may revert to staff served if this continues happening

    Rather concerning the amount of alleged norovirus cases cropping up now on two different ships☹️

    Do you know the name of the captain?
  12. gsmt47471015
    Indeed there will , but as we have now managed to get ourselves to the top it will be nice to gain some small benefit, and also expect a good deal of passengers to leave us in the shade regarding amount of cruises and nights spent on board😄. That been said we are aware that there are a few first time cruisers on this trip

    Ooh heck , looks like a poor choice of wording on my behalf, sorry about that😳
  14. gsmt47471015
    Been informed from P and O that its a sit down and be served jobby in January
  15. gsmt47471015
    Over £8,000 for the classic package on our world cruise in January, with the early booking 10% it takes £700 off so I assume with another 10%loyalty off it would bring it down to £6,400. If we ever get anywhere near that amount over 99 nights even allowing for soft drinks and coffees we would need medical assistance🤢

    Sorry if this has been asked before, just booked with Fred for the first time and we are cruising out of Newcastle, has anybody any experience of car parking at the port , is it safe and secure as quite wary about something happening to my car? Thanks

    One of the issues is that P and O sometimes make things up which differs from the official requirement's, (yellow fever earlier this year been one )
  19. gsmt47471015
    We are finding the whole visa scenario for this cruise quite perplexing, so much varying information as to what type is required.IE, travel visa, transit visa, full visa , on board passport stamp 🙄
  20. gsmt47471015
    Thanks for the replies , we booked last week via our usual TA so the blc would not have been valid , in all fairness my good lady has the card but often forgets to use it !!!
  21. gsmt47471015
    Do Fred have the same restriction as P and O regarding BLC when you book through an agent?
  22. gsmt47471015
    TBH the last time we were on Arcadia and attempted to sit in the crows nest the staff looked absolutely frozen, we at least had the option to try another venue , they didn't, and we both felt extremely sorry for them as virtually nobody was in there but they had to stand in shirts only ( with waistcoats of course, and trousers/skirts before people get the wrong image!!! ) 🥶

    You don't appear from your signature to be from Scotland or Yorkshire 😆🤣😂
  24. gsmt47471015
    Thanks for the link, when reading through it Indonesia states an E visa is required , however on the UK government site it states that if transiting through one is not required, tbh the whole visa /E visa etc is a minefield of conflicting advice 😔
  25. gsmt47471015
    Is it possible that the temperature was reset to allow for the destination of your cruise? Arcadia has always been the coldest of any ship (P and O or otherwise ) that we have sailed on
