    How refreshing to see a balancing post showing how experiences differ.
  2. Fionboard
    The current price reductions show that maybe some cruises are not selling as well as they might. Some good deals around, particularly for solos.
  3. Fionboard
    And that they were reducing plastic!

    Sorry. Norway in March

    Board about 1230 to 1300 usually. Relax, now on board. Peninsular lunch. Lots of wine, meet people. Snooze, get ready for dinner. Eat. Sleep. Feel lucky to be still cruising.

    Atlantic today off Portugal is like a millpond.
  7. Fionboard
    Good value

    I do not like dining alone, so never use speciality restaurants. Fixed dining in MDR is much better for me.
  9. Fionboard
    Laundry is best bet. Sometimes special offers. Not overly expensive.
  10. Fionboard
    And the brunch. Bit over the top though!

    Never had a problem changing once on board. 2nd sitting is usually less popular. Go and see the Maitre D when you board.
  12. Fionboard
    Lucky you!

    When I began cruising on Celebrity, all behind the scenes tours were free. Even got strawberries dipped in chocolate at end of galley tour. Tours on P&O pre covid were chargeable. No tours now. How things have changed.

    Funny isn't it how different people have such different experiences!

    Photographers were franchise and they all lost their jobs with covid.

    Ask someone to take some pics of you with your phone.
  17. Fionboard
    No, thank goodness. None on Aurora last month either.

    Never seen queues on any ship at guest services on disembarkation day. Everyone intent on getting off the ship!

    On my 4th cruise this year. Fixed dining, no queues, no stress, phone switched off. Avoid mega ships. Problem easily solved for me personally.
  20. Fionboard
    Not many tables for two. Maybe that's why they are queueing so they don't have to share and talk to anyone!
  21. Fionboard
    Or is it Oz?!!
  22. Fionboard
    Lovely in Corsica.
  23. Fionboard
    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.
  24. Fionboard
    No tenders, we are docked.
  25. Fionboard
    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.
