Yes we do and have just done so on the Arcadia, to our cabin steward and waiters.

Just got off the Arcadia (J317) to Norway for 12 days and got on board to find out our ‘overnight’ stays in Tromso and Narvik actually departed at 01:30 with a return to the ship at 01:00. We do not (along with lots of others) consider this to be overnight as per our confirmation which blandly stated an ‘early morning’ departure. Before we put pen to paper to follow on from our on board complaint does anyone have any thoughts or information that would help our cause or dissuade us from continuing to complain? Ultimately we were required to cut short our private northern lights excursion etc. by several hours. Also, was the departure of our Captain post cruise preplanned or was this a sudden change perhaps to do with our loss of power in an horrendous storm which caused the azipods to ‘cut out’ which was all very scary 😦

Would you know what time it runs until? We have a 14:00 boarding on Arcadia this coming Thursday.

Hurtigruten and Cruising in the same sentence? We’ve cruised more luxuriously on cross channel ferries 😬

Thanks everyone, we were in Alesund this April so we know it’s a good port 👍

There’s no need to bother, they’ll do it at check in.

If you just want the basics there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the Southampton Central Travelodge. In the town and an easy stroll to the ‘front’ to see other cruise ships etc. arriving/leaving. Why waste your money on overpriced accommodation and food 🤷‍♂️

Anyone know or want to guess why this might be 🤷‍♂️

ITFC?

It certainly is 👍

Where does it state we’re only referring to West to East TA’s 🤷‍♂️ There’s mention above of TA’s out of Barcelona and Venice 🤔 I’m on the Sky out of Southampton heading stateside on a 31 night return trip back to Southampton which departs on the 15th September 2024.

I hope she does one before that as I’m going her to the US and Canada + return in September 🙏

I absolutely would not risk or bother going to London unless on a ship excursion. So many things to go wrong and London ain’t what it was, I’ll leave it at that. So many other (nearer) things close by 👍

This is the sort of info I need 👍

My mother who is in her mid 80’s with a number of health issues has booked to travel with my wife and I, but in her own cabin, when cruising to the Med on the Sky Princess next March. Could you please share with me any recommendations for Travel Insurance Companies sympathetic to the elderly etc. and of course any other tips. Thank you.

When I used them recently they were parking in Totton 😬

As I said above there are 2 tour pick up points one at each end of the berth. So ensure you define which place before hand as it’s a fairly long sprint along the berth if you’re in the wrong place. When off the Island Princess a few weeks ago we were picked up outside the entrance to the east as highlighted below.

1. The first pic is where mine was parked by p4c last month and 2. The second pic is where it was parked on the previous 2 occasions 🤷‍♂️

Bear in mind there is access to the terminal at both ends of the berth so you’ll need to define exactly which end the ‘tour’ will be waiting for you.

On the 3 occasions I have sailed on the Iona from Southampton I can 100% say that my car was moved from the spot it was initially moved to as I boarded. I could also track it’s movements nearing the end of my cruise and where it was parked on my return awaiting collection. I can also say that parking4cruises are now parking cars out the port area in Totton.

I had an itinerary once which read Cadiz Spain, Cartagena Columbia, Malaga Spain etc. That would have taken some doing 😂 Cartagena Spain was great 👍

US $

There are no boarding times anymore.

Yes and I’m using it now on the Island Princess off Greenland @ $19.99 per day or cheaper per day over a longer term 👍

When I booked a future cruise on board recently the ‘agent’ made a big play on the ability to be able to claim a refund if the price went down and that our price was fixed if Princess increased their prices.
