Sparky, I might knock on your door 22 Dec staying a night at Fitzroy Motel at Grafton on way to Goldy for Xmas with my brother and sister and other family members.
Just went to bar or waved the waiter over. Just used the cursed medallion for on and off ship, cabin door and drinks. I survived easy. Buffet and Mdr easy, I shared tables.
Julie...Are you Club Class, dining with the 'speshul people' or with the steerage pax in the normal Bordeaux/Provence MDR's.
Trivia question...You know why the MDR's are thus named?
Answer..'Because the ship was built in France.
Think I told you before Lyle we did a similar itinerary inc New York City on P&O UK's Aurora, a few years ago, from Southampton. A very interesting journey, you will enjoy it.
You could perhaps change it on the 'Dining My Way' section of medallion app. It has the capability of changing... cancelling/re booking etc. Failing that do it on board.
