Did all these tours for free on Celebrity back in 2010's. Pre covid on P&O they cost about £70 but I have not seen them advertised post covid. Probably due to health and safety reasons.
Worst ever disembarkation yesterday. Used QE2 Terminal. Total chaos. No organization on board. Never seen queues so big. Terrible design. Understaffed, poor signage. Am usually on the road by about 9.30. Yesterday it was 11.30. And that was with a small ship!
Think they already have those on Iona. Was told by a waiter that a lot of the food is pre-prepared before being loaded onto the ship, then just reheated !
On Arcadia now. Dining at 6.30 and 8.30 as per usual. Only ever had different time as I said, on Aurora in March. Northern lights cruise may be the reason for that perhaps.
For heaven's sake lets drop the argument re big or small ships. There is something for everyone whatever your budget or preferred type of cruising. Good job or we would all be in the same (very large) boat!
Have the app on the smaller ships too, but it is superfluous on those as they can manage the numbers on board with no need for pre booking everything 😂
Notice the use of "we" a lot. Cruising solo is a different experience and much more suited to smaller, friendlier ships. Nothing to do with technology, just the overall ambience created by smaller passenger numbers on board.
