Hi . You can make your own flight arrangements... but the cruise price will not reduce. Another consideration should be that if the flight you arrange is delayed the ship will not wait for you ....

Hi

We get off Ventura on the day you get on. You will all have a great time I'm sure.

 With the alcohol.. Yes you can take 1L of spirits each on board .. and mixers are a very reasonable price on board.

 In our opinion paying for WiFi on board is expensive .. it's usually easy to find somewhere that offers free WiFi ashore .. or use your own data package In port.

 With regard to tips you no longer need to worry about this.All cruises from May this year have had this removed.

 There will be lots of people on board celebrating all sorts of occasions .. Getting free gifts is unlikely, but it is easy to arrange for champagne or flowers to be arranged the P&O cruise personaliser will give you details of how to do this .. under the heading of little extras.

Have a brilliant family holiday 😁😁

My step daughter loves a buffet breakfast  of chocolate muffin... bacon .. and a dollop of yoghurt.. all on the same plate. Not a breakfast that appeals to me 😂😂😂🤑

Hi.. I will be on Ventura in 3 weeks.. travelling with my husband and four young teenage girls. I would like to treat them to dinner in a select dining restaurant one evening . which would be most suitable and are children allowed in all of them ?? Many thanks in advance for your help.

No those are just the two packages available... there are many more not included in the packages 😊😊🥂🥂🍷🍷

Hi Clodia.. We were on freedom dining when we prepurchased our wine package.. As you are still allocated to a particular dining room the vouchers will be there.

You can't buy it online ... but you can phone and purchase it before you cruise .. or onboard. Either way you will receive a little book of vouchers that you exchange for bottles of wine.  If you buy it pre cruise the vouchers will be waiting with the wine waiters in your allocated dining room on your first night. 

I have stayed in a single cabin on britannia and it was lovely ... a single bed that was very comfortable.. it was not a sofa bed. It had plenty of storage space .. and the bathroom was the same size as the cabins for two. It also had a glass shower screen rather than a curtain. I would recommend it based on my experience on Britannia 😁😁

Hi .. Iona is still being built .. so no one has yet stayed on her. 

On our last cruise on Arcadia.. our cabin was boiling hot despite air con being on lowest setting. When the engineers came to check it out they told us it was because someone near us was keeping their balcony door open. I understand why people want to do this .. but it it made our week very uncomfortable 😏😏

Your children can pick from both menus .. which ours love doing. Dining in the MDR is always one of our children's favourite times on board. They are looked after brilliantly by all the dining room staff.

Inside the ship it will be warm enough to just wear a dress ... if you want to go out on deck you will probably need a cardigan.

Hi the formal nights are almost totally adhered to ... the other themed nights much less so .. although I must say I love a themed night myself.

If you book early saver the cabins may not be close to each other. You may be able to change dining arrangements but not always ... if you are particular about cabin location then book select ... but we always book whichever is cheapest and have not yet been unhappy with cabin allocation.. if you need cabins together and would be unhappy eating at different times then booking select is probably better for you.

Thank you all so much ... I think we will go for the epicurean.  The girls will all love a bit of a food theatre experience. We are going to wait to book till we are on board ... just in case there is some kind of offer. But if not it will be a fantastic shared thing to do 😁😁

Hi everyone.. My dh and I are sailing on Ventura in July with four nearly teenage girls .. all really well mannered.. We would like to treat them to a dinner in a speciality restaurant.. and would love some recommendations.. Thank you 

Yes you can get off and get back on ... and there will be somewhere on board you can leave your luggage .. and to be honest the time you lose on the first day you gain on the last ... 😁😁

Hi .. As far as I understand any request to upgrade your cabin will be based on the pricing that was in place when you booked your cruise. I have only done this when the price was much higher currently than when I booked but am fairly certain it applies either way. 

Hi

  We really love the Limelight club and have always found that our seats are better the earlier we book, the last couple of times we have been really lucky and got seats right at the front. They take payment when you book and your loyalty tier discount will be applied to this booking. We have never cancelled a limelight club booking, but have cancelled other reservations and the money was refunded to the card we booked with .. Or they will change the date for you if places are still available.

Hi yes this would be totally fine. I have seen this combination many times. 😀

We always had our Costa and pastry as our second breakfast ... so one pastry was enough. ... Just an idea x

We have 6 people booked in a family suite with P&O.

I found an inside cabin brilliant for sleeping .. the only problem I found was not quite knowing what the weather was up too...

Hi we used CPS for a mini cruise and they left the car where we parked it and we took our keys with us .. a different procedure to when we have used them for longer cruises.. hope this helps 😁😁

Thank you showingdiva... we could easily cope with a room like that .. and having been caught out by a window cleaner ( poor poor man ) I am always mindful of closing my curtains however private my room seems !!
