  1. No, thank goodness. None on Aurora last month either.
  2. Never seen queues on any ship at guest services on disembarkation day. Everyone intent on getting off the ship!
  3. On my 4th cruise this year. Fixed dining, no queues, no stress, phone switched off. Avoid mega ships. Problem easily solved for me personally.
  4. Not many tables for two. Maybe that's why they are queueing so they don't have to share and talk to anyone!
  5. Freedom MDR opens at 6. Queues start at 5.30 onwards. If you want early dining better to have fixed at 6.30. No queues for fixed dining.
  6. No pre booking required on Arcadia. Have heard no complaints about full venues. Unlike Iona and Arvia. The venues seem to cope with the amount of pax on board, as they always have done.
  7. Everyone touching same surfaces and having to sanitize vessels between trips. Too onerous.
  8. Hate being organized on holiday. Prefer spontaneous decisions about what I want to do, and when. Hence sticking to the smaller ships. Whatever floats your boat though! I do like a cocktail though!
  9. We Brits are used to rain! Should not be a problem.
  10. Aurora and Arcadia both have big TVs. Don't know about Ventura though as have not been on her this year.
  11. Agree absolutely. Can do 6/7 cruises per year with P&O or 3/4 on a 5 star line. Each to their own.
  12. Just google the port and download a map!
  13. Hills, but not the Himalayas! Satellite is in the sky, I believe. No problem with internet on the ground either.
  14. I am not loaded, just done many cruises to qualify for Ligurian tier, all in balcony. However, some can attain that level just cruising in cheap interior cabins, not necessarily loaded.
  15. But Barcelona?! Prefer Megabear's reason! Apparently will be restored once we have set sail tonight.
  16. Last did hotel holiday in Malta in 2008. So dirty and run down. Maybe cleaned it up a bit by now with EU money.
  17. Iona 4 star?!! Don' think any P&O ships are. Maybe some other lines.
  18. Personal opinion, but have done over 70 cruises solo and small ships are much more sociable. However, much more expensive particularly if you want a balcony. Also depends on your age as small ships have a much older demographic!
  19. If you have "priority" on your boarding pass you are given priority. Should not be a problem if you are on a smaller ship.
  20. Yes, Suites and Ligurian first, then other tiers that have priority, then the rest according to time.
