July morning

We were on a ship with the hand washing basins and the woman in front of me nearly lost her rings she had to quickly put her hand in a fist! I used it after her but removed my rings for safety 😂

Terrierjohn, I've got a colour printer but try to avoid using colour unless it's really necessary! Label wise I print them then use sellotape (helps make them waterproof) don't use a stapler just sellotape them on to the handles never had any problems have to cut them off though 😉

That's good news about Ventura as I'm on in October. I had booked first sitting but Daughter wants freedom! So I have obeyed and changed it 😂😂

Azura,lots of 7 night cruises so the cabin you might want for 14nights may already be booked for one of the weeks. We met a few couples on previous occasions that wanted 14 nights on a cruise but could only book two seven nights back to back hope you understand what I mean

Selbourne, Thank you for your updates I've read them all 🙂 I also look forward to your thoughts on Iona as I have seen a cruise on her that would fit in with my Daughter and Grandson (he's well behaved!) We were on Britannia last year and on Ventura in October and I'm silently hoping it's not going to be "old Fashioned" I have been on Ventura many times pre "C" fingers crossed for me!

Ha Ha, that's your story and your sticking to it Joking!

We were phoned about two weeks before our cruise at the end of April and asked if we were interested in a paid upgrade. We accepted and we were given a choice of cabins, we went from a sea view to a junior suite. We done it partly because we were on deck two so a late embarkation which my husband hates so upgrading gave us priority (noon)

We got ours under the bed without a problem

At the end of October I shared a cabin with my daughter & grandson who had never cruised before I am Caribbean level and although they had a later time like your husband they boarded with me and enjoyed the welcome on board lunch! (I phoned to check) and she thought it was great 🙂

We were on Britannia in October and had a standard balcony cabin, it had a small sofa bed which was made up every evening when we went for dinner.

We like the train excursion on St Kitts it's an old sugar train goes round the island and there are singers who come on and entertain the train carriage and of course loved the cocktails that you get 😂

Oh dear,I hope you start to feel better soon.

Yes to both. We've been on Borealis twice and enjoyed both cruise. We booked before departure "Colour& Taste" fine dining £10pp, (£15pp on board) was excellent

We were on Boletta (?) at the end of April no problems that we were aware of had a great time.

A good start to your cruise hope it stays that way 🙂

I used to take a different outfit for every evening and day but I now double up. As lincslady mentioned I don't remember what others have worn unless it's a standout piece (not always good) and we don't use fixed dinning now so even if we share it's with different people.I have also cut back on the amount of shoes etc I would take 😂😂 makes things easier

My grandson (4yr) was asked if he would like one from a lady on Britannia last year and he was very happy he got to choose which one he liked. He took it home and still has it on a shelf in his bedroom 🙂 It was their first cruise and very excited about it all so much we're doing another in October again! I don't think they do any more harm than other things and certainly made our young grandson happy

Thank you for posting your review, I found it interesting as I shall be on Ventura in October.

Josy, you'll need to get an electric bike that'll help with any hills 😂

Shall be interested in your feed back on Ventura as we're on her in October and it's been a while since sailing on Ventura.

I'm Caribbean and on our boarding pass it had 3.30 pm but we were on board by 12.30 and had the loyalty lunch in the restaurant with the drinks a nice way to start the cruise.

I've chosen what I'd like to eat when will you serve it😉😂

Should have mentioned our five night cruise on Britannia had one formal and the vast majority were wearing "formal"

Our cruise on Ventura in October for ten nights, it shows in my cruise information that it's going to be three formal
