All the sunbed deck areas are busy, you will be lucky to find 2 spare beds together

There is a “Quiet Area” away from the pools, they are screened off with glass barriers and is free to use.

We had Gareth Gates on the Britannia but it was already fully booked at the Limelight Club months before....tbh probably wouldn’t have paid the £35.00pp cover charge anyway.

Having just returned from  a Caribbean cruise on Britannia from experience you will probably be able to find the odd single sunbed but struggle to find two together on sea days anywhere on the ship.

The empty bed for 30 minutes and towel removed does not happen.

You should have seen the annoyed faces when passengers had set up on the shuffleboard playing areas when they were asked to move to allow a game to be played.

And you will lose out twice on the exchange rate - £ to €, then € to Krone.  Halifax Clarity and Nationwide CC give you a rate which is better than the best High Street rate.  To maximise the savings the balance should of course be paid off in full.  Cash drawn from an ATM whilst offering an excellent exchange rate and no transaction charge does however attract interest from the date of withdrawal.  This is not much as long as you settle up as soon as you get home.

I use the Halifax Clarity card on holiday because of the fee free foreign transaction but as you say you have to pay interest from the time of withdrawal at ATMs for cash. If you ensure the card is always paid off in full you can actually over pay so your card is actually showing a credit ( I usually load £500.00 on it). This means provided you don’t draw more than £500.00 or the equivalent in local currency you don’t pay any cash withdrawal interest either.

Well done you!  Oh the luxury of having a bath, even though it might be on the small side, in your cabin.  We booked an outside with bath on Aurora and were asked whether we would accept an upgrade, bearing in mind that could be a cabin without a bath.  I said no!  I didn't know such a thing existed unless you at least had a mini suite.  Never been on p&o before,  but one plus in their favour.  Two weeks to go for us.  Happy cruising.

Also 2 weeks for us, Barbados by any chance?

Thank you for all the responses, as advised I rang P & O today and explained that we booked the cruise knowing the cabin grade had a bath. ( Really fantastic telephone response time!).

The CSA left me on hold for a minute and came back with cabin B414 which is an upgraded DC to DA cabin which has been confirmed by email, just hoping the luggage tags also get changed.

Really good customer service, an upgrade still and now two happy people.

Now where’s my plastic duck 😀

Apologies but advised to post this here.

Hello,

After browsing this site for some time I now have a question to ask and have joined up.

We are due to travel on a P & O cruise shortly (Britannia)  and booked nearly a year ago with a saver fare which guaranteed us a DC cabin grade  ( deluxe balcony A deck).

We have today been notified that our allocated cabin is a DA grade and this is B427.

Having checked the deck plan this appears to be an “adapted cabin” so is fitted out for disabled guests so has a wet room with all the associated aids and no bath (one of the reasons we booked the cabin type was for the bath which I prefer to a shower and we have never had a cabin with a bath on previous cruises)

My questions are ..is a DA grade a lower grade than a DC and do we have to accept an adapted cabin when we are both able bodied?

Thank you.

Thank you, will do.
